ART THERAPY

Researching the art therapies: a dramatherapist's perspective
Roger Grainger
616.8515072 GRA
Writing from a dramatherapist's perspective, Roger Grainger looks at methods of researching the arts therapies, and how particular definitions of research affect our understanding and practising of arts therapies. He places approaches to research in four categories: quantitative research (which seeks to demonstrate), qualitative research (which explains by describing), action research (which explains by experiencing) and art-based research (which aims to document in an appropriate language, in this case art).



Self-mutilation and art therapy: violent creation
Diana Milia
616.8582 MIL
Diana Milia examines the effect of art therapy interventions with clients who harm their bodies. Her starting point is the definition of self-mutilation itself. In many cultures, self-mutilation is incorporatedin sacrificial rituals as a means of healing the whole society. Body modifications such as scarification and tattooing are used in rites of purification, healing and maturity. Self-mutilation may also be incorporated in performance art.



The first relationship: infant & mother
Daniel N. Stern
155.4228 STE
Daniel Stern's pathbreaking video-based research into the intimate complexities of mother-infant interaction has had an enormous impact on psychotherapy and developmental psychology. His minute analyses of the exchanges between mothers and babies have offered empirical support and correction for many theories of development. In the complex and instinctive choreography of "conversations," including smiles, gestures, and gazing, Stern discerned patterns of both emotional harmony and emotional incongruity that illuminate children's relationships with others in the larger world.



Trauma and Recovery: the aftermath of violence-from domestic abuse to political terror
Judith Herman, M.D
616.85 HER
From the Introduction: THE ORDINARY RESPONSE TO ATROCITIES is to banish them from consciousness. Certain violations of the social compact are too terrible to utter aloud: this is the meaning of the word unspeakable. Atrocities, however, refuse to be buried. Equally as powerful as the desire to deny atrocities is the conviction that denial does not work. Folk wisdom is filled with ghosts who refuse to rest in their graves until their stories are told.

QUOTING BROTHER JOE

Extracts from book titled "Brother Joseph McNally fsc 1923-2002" by Brother Vincent Corkery

"I have lived my life primarily as an educator and therefore I have no professional secrets. Likewise as a sculptor I want to be an open book."

"Artists, by and large, are right brained persons. They think laterally. They see alternative courses of action more easily than left brained people. They are good entreprenuers. They are good team members."

"The truly educated person: the most cultured person is not one with the highest degrees but the one who most fully accepts the culture of his people."

"Education is the process of leading youth outwards from within themselves; of bringing out inherent qualities within each child."

"One great privilege of being a teacher or a headmaster, lies in constant contact with the young mind. Teaching does not imply a one-way traffic only. A teacher constantly renews his youth in associating his ideas with those of his pupils."

"BROTHER JOE"

"I would like to be remembered as a teacher"

Our beloved founder, John Joseph McNally, was born on 10th August 2003 in Dereerin, Ballintubber, Co Mayo, Ireland. His father, Thomas and mother, Bridget Mannion, both having grown up in Mayo, had met and married in the United States where several of his siblings were born. Thomas brought his wife and family back to Ireland in August 1920 when he inherited his father's farm. Before John was born, Thomas had returned to the US during the Irish civil war. The war was over when John was born but he did not see his father until he was seven years of age. In 1930, when his father finally returned it was to take over a new house and farm beside Ballintubber Abbey. In later years Brother Joseph would always delight in that he was just "little Johnny from Ballintubber".
