Normalerweise werden unter Handlungen-verkürzt ausgedrückt-Tätigkeiten verstanden, die intentional und sinnvoll auf einen Gegenstand oder eine Sache ausgerichtet sind. Etwas, das zufällig passiert, ist folglich nicht Teil einer Handlung. Um etwas Bestimmtes zu erreichen, müssen wir uns auf den Weg machen. Um zu wissen, welchen Weg wir einschlagen, müssen wir uns über das Ziel im Klaren sein. Um nach Essen zu dieser Fachtagung zu kommen, muss ich planmäßig vorgehen: Ich muss ein Hotelzimmer buchen, eine Zugverbindung raussuchen, pünktlich am Gleis stehen, im Hotel einchecken usw. usf. Ich habe ein Ziel und muss herausfinden, welcher Weg zum Ziel führt. Auf diese Weise bewegen wir uns meistens durch unseren Alltag. In der künstlerischen und künstlerisch-therapeutischen Praxis bewegen wir uns anders. Das Handlungsmodell, das unseren Alltag beschreibt, trifft dann nicht zu. Als Kunsttherapeut weiß ich häufig nicht, wohin die Reise geht. Es geht nicht um das Erreichen eines bestimmten Ziels, sondern um das, was auf dem Weg passiert oder auch nicht passiert. Damit verbundene Handlungen werden nicht durch klassische Handlungstheorien erfasst. Sie sind eher Gegenstand einer Soziologie der Bewegung, die, so schreibt ihre Urheberin Gabriele Klein, "die Perspektive von der Intentionalität der Handlung als einen gedanklichen Vorgang zu der Materialität des Handelns als einen Bewegungsakt" verschiebt. Mit einem solchen Handlungsbegriff befinden sich die Künstlerischen Therapien in einem Widerspruch zu einer medizinisch-therapeutischen Praxis, die den Anspruch hat planmäßig vorzugehen und dem Dreischritt Diagnostik, Indikation und Intervention zu folgen. Dieser Dreischritt ist aber nur dann möglich, wenn das therapeutische Vorgehen methodisch gesichert ist und sich naturwissenschaftlich begründen lässt. Das trifft zu bei Interventionen, die statistisch einigermaßen genau zu erfassen sind, nicht aber bei individuellen Entwicklungsprozessen, die nicht planmäßig verlaufen und sich nicht voraussagen lassen.

Mit Hilfe von i.d.R verbal-sprachlichen Darstellungen werden in den verschiedenen therapeutischen Praxen bestimmte Aspekte gedanklich zugänglich, vermittelbar und greifbar gemacht. In der Kunsttherapie erweitert sich dabei die... more

Art therapy, as well as other arts-based therapies and interventions, is used to reduce pain, stress, depression, breathlessness and other symptoms in a wide variety of serious and chronic diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer and schizophrenia. Arts-based approaches are also known to contribute to one's well-being and quality of life. However, much research is required, since the mechanisms by which these non-pharmacological treatments exert their therapeutic and psychosocial effects are not adequately understood. A typical clinical setting utilizing the arts consists of the creation work itself, such as the artwork, as well as the therapist and the patient, all of which constitute a rich and dynamic environment of occurrences. The underlying complex, simultaneous and interwoven processes of this setting are often considered intractable to human observers, and as a consequence are usually interpreted subjectively and described verbally, which affect their subsequent analyses and understanding. We introduce a computational research method for elucidating and analyzing emergent expressive and social behaviors, aiming to understand how arts-based approaches operate. Our methodology, which centers on the visual language of Statecharts and tools for its execution, enables rigorous qualitative and quantitative tracking, analysis and documentation of the underlying creation and interaction processes. Also, it enables one to carry out exploratory, hypotheses-generating and knowledge discovery investigations, which are empirical-based. Furthermore, we illustrate our method's use in a proof-ofprinciple study, applying it to a real-world artwork investigation with human participants. We explore individual and collective emergent behaviors impacted by diverse drawing tasks, yielding significant gender and age hypotheses, which may account for variation factors in response to art use. We also discuss how to gear our research method to systematic and mechanistic investigations, as we wish to provide a broad empirical evidence for the uptake of arts-based approaches, also aiming to ameliorate their use in clinical settings.

Tytarenko, T. M., Dvornyk, M. S., Larina, T. O., Myronchak, K. V., Savinov, V. V., Hundertaylo, J. D., & Vella, G. S. (2021). Citizens Obtaining Psychosocial Support during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Ukraine: A Cross-Sectional Study. Wiadomości Lekarskie, 11(74), 2755-2761. DOI: https://doi.org/10.36740/WLek202111113.
ABSTRACT. The aim: To investigate the obtaining of psychosocial support by citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine using a cross-sectional study assessing the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents.
Materials and methods: It was developed and used the authors’ questionnaire “Socio-psychological support during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine”. Data processing used Nonparametric Mann-Whitney analysis of variance and one-way Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance (SPSS 26.0).
Results: The study was conducted from October 2020 to May 2021 and sampled 100 individuals. Significant differences in the studied features are revealed. Gender: women have a more prosperous and broader range of contacts to discuss fears and anxieties during quarantine; suffer more from emotional loss; have more need to be heard and to be taken care of, with no criticism; are more experienced in professional psychological help obtaining; communicate with internal migrants more often. Age: young respondents (19-24 y.o.) suffer more from pandemic losses in the areas of spirituality and friendship; however, more often and more effectively use the means of online psychological support; older respondents are more likely to receive support from an important community and through meditation. Living conditions: living alone, citizens experience more pandemic stress, suffer from losses in personal life and friendship, and consider participation in challenge activities as the most convenient form of support. Place of residence: living in the rural areas is associated with a narrow circle of citizens’ contacts to discuss their plans for leisure; more significant damage from pandemic losses in health; lack of support in the form of understanding themselves and their conditions. Education: higher education affects a broader circle of communication; more minor financial losses; willingness to share traumatic stories for art therapy. Financial satisfaction promotes the exchange of ideas between users of online psychological support.
Conclusions: The identified conditionality of psychosocial support obtaining by socio-demographic indicators can be used in the development of psychosocial support interventions during a pandemic for Ukrainian citizens by the public and private sectors, particularly in creating specialized smartphone applications, adapting playback theatre in the online space, creating gender-sensitive online programs to integrate IDPs into local communities.
KEY WORDS: Mental health, telehealth, sex differences, art therapy, community participation.
