> Lecture abstracts
1. The Body Image in Art Therapy: a fascinating Odyssey
Ioanna Kilimi, artist, MA Art Therapy
On the threshold of the 21st century Art Therapy endeavours an exploration of symbols and metaphors involved in the body representation. At the core of this lecture will be a pictorial narration of the dynamics of the body image development of clients through Art Therapy; we will see how the combination of artistic and verbal communication in Art Therapy can offer the client the grounds for self-realisation and further self-fulfilment. The benefits Art Therapy can uniquely offer to one's body image will be explored.
2. Creating a Greek music therapy culture
Maria Froudaki, Music therapist, MMT Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy
Music stands for life. Music gives life to emotions, creates experiences and follows people through very intimate paths of internal growth. This presentation aims to offer an opportunity to re-think about the art of making music therapy, considering cultural parameters as crucial so that music acts therapeutically for people – children or adults. During the music therapy training, you learn a lot about aesthetics. When practicing music therapy though, it is essential to have a good grasp not only of psychodynamics which grow in the therapy situation but also of psychodynamics which grow around you – as the art person - . In our clinical work culture is revealed to us on different levels. Each patient has a culture. Each patient group has a culture. Each therapy team has a culture. Each setting has a culture. Each country has a culture. It is of most importance for a young arts therapist to explore all these different levels of culture and discover his personal way to meet them through his art.
3. “When words fail and violence talks”
Laura Jimenez-Alonso, Art Therapist
When words fail and violence takes over, pictures created in Art Therapy can
enlighten the background of actions that could otherwise hardly be explained.
Line, dynamics, form, images and abstract expressions can all contribute to
the art therapist’s understanding. Obvious or hidden symbols magically become
the key, which can open and enlighten the dark chambers of the psyche. Some
case studies will be presented followed by a practical exercise on the issue
of violence.
4. "The Language of the Body"
Amalia Zaharaki, Body Psychotherapist
According to the Grounding Technique, a psychotherapeutic technique introduced by Alexander Lowen who was Wilhelm Reich's student, the body finds its presence through experiencing its past in order to achieve its change in the future.
5. A Case-Study of a Child of Ten with Dyspraxia
Caroline Case, Analytical Art Therapist/Child Psychotherapist
The case-study will describe the development of play and creative work in a child who was referred because of tantrums. She was not able to play or to have friends.
Part of the accompanying family work involved thinking about ‘ghosts from the past’ and on-going maternal depression. Essential to the therapeutic process were the use of Winnicott’s squiggle game and the paintings of Salvador Dali, which gave permission to play. The clinical work demonstrates how the growing relationship with the therapist allowed internalisation of liveliness that then transferred to relationships outside the family, and led to successful transition to secondary school.
6. Archetypal transference and the archetype of the wounded healer
Martin Schmidt, Jungian Analyst
This lecture explores the nature of Jung's thinking about archetypal transference and projective identification. With a focus on the Greek myth of Chiron (the centaur incurably wounded by Hercules), it examines the nature of the wounded healer archetype in therapeutic relationships with particular attention given to the use of art therapy and visualisation.
7. Dramatherapy and Creativity
Dora Dedeski, Psychologist, Drama therapist
From dramatic play and its development to higher cultural expressions such as the arts (dance-music-theatre-literature-painting-architecture-sculpture-cinema), creativity is a process that connects us to the essence of human existence and its quest for meaning.
Dramatherapy, as an arts psychotherapeutic approach, makes use of both the primitive and the more developed aspects of the creative process in order to facilitate changes in all aspects of human behaviour –individual, group, collective-, as well as in the three levels of the Self function –cognitive, emotional, and spiritual.
This lecture will draw on theory as well as on dramatherapy case studies to show the transformational potential of the creative process.
8. Exploring "active music listening" in music therapy
Evi Papanikolaou, Music therapist, MA, MSc, FAMI / GIM psychotherapist
The workshop will be a short introduction to receptive methods of music therapy (focusing on music listening) with a particular reference to the Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) method of music psychotherapy. GIM uses the potential of music to stimulate symbolic images, feelings, thoughts and sensations within us and can be used in various ways and contexts. Receptive music therapy can be applied in groups or in a one-to-one context, in various clinical or even pedagogical settings, with the aim to support and promote not only physical, mental and psychological well-being, but also creativity. Music processing can be combined with other forms of expression, like painting, poetry, movement which take place while listening to music or afterwards. Participants will be encouraged to experience some of these possibilities for themselves.
9. Art Therapy and Anger
Marian Liebmann, Art Therapist
This talk will be based on Marian’s latest book Art Therapy and Anger, an edited collection of chapters describing new work with different client groups, including children, offenders, mental health clients, cancer patients, people suffering from brain injuries and a war veteran. Marian will show slides of her own work on anger issues with mental health clients, offenders and young people. This is a topic of interest to all those working with angry people - and may help us to reflect on our own anger too.
10. Dance Therapy and Sublimation
Zoe Hatzidaki, Dance therapist
A dance therapy intervention in the women’s section of the prison “Koridallos” in Athens, an intervention attempting to reconstruct the body image.
11. Dramatherapy training – Extending the limits
Stelios Krassanakis, M.D. Psychiatrist, Dramatherapist and Theatre Director
Psychotherapeutic trainings face different challenges according to the psychotherapeutic approach followed. Training a dramatherapy student can be particularly hard due to, on the one hand the variety of professionals who choose to train as dramatherapists, and on the other hand the wide range of knowledge and techniques required in order to become a dramatherapist. Training programmes and placements should be able to withstand the relevant difficulties and provide security to the trainee’s doubts and uncertainties.
12. Spagyric Dramatherapy and the Alchemical Work of the Soul
Demys Kyriacou - M.D. Psychiatrist - Dramatherapist - Homeopath
Spagyric Dramatherapy (a term introduced by Dr.Demys Kyriacou) is a form or model of dramatherapy which attempts to link the world of psychological and psychotherapeutic theory and practice to that of spirituality and esoteric teachings and methods. It addresses the needs of adult men and women who want to take a further step regarding their self-development, a step on their esoteric, spiritual path.
The Spagyria concept implies that some personality forms and patterns must break down, be restructured and transformed to create space for Soul-stuff to rise and manifest. In esoteric terms, it means to clear debris from lower centers thus giving a chance for higher centers to function in one's life. The result being that of a psychologically healthy individual - and not an egocentric one - who is nevertheless in touch with one's Inner, Spiritual Core. The focus of Spagyric Dramatherapy is the Soul, that plane of existence most of which is oblivious from our everyday personality and about which thousands of years of esoteric tradition and practice have taught about. As a process it aims beyond the mere reorganizing of psychological defense mechanisms and looks for the transformative and spiritual elements usually ignored by most of the current psychotherapeutic schools.
Spagyric Dramatherapy acknowledges the various opposites in one’s psyche and reaches out for that special inner sanctum where the so called Hieros Gamos – Sacred Marriage can take place.

> Workshop abstracts
i. "Once upon a time there was a stone"
Aeon team, Drama therapy students (Greece)
Through group process, ritual, projection techniques and sensory play we are going to explore the various significations that each of us can give to the same natural stimulus providing ourselves a new aspect of differentiation and/or likeness.
ii. Present yourself with a mandala, and join together
Florence Hirel, Art therapy student (the Netherlands)
When you are in contact with yourself, you can come in contact with the others: Discover your own identity and your belonging to the whole humanity.
iii.
"The therapeutic functions of Music
Storytelling"
Katherine Walters &
Ralitza Ivanova, Music Therapy students (UK)
The ancient practice of storytelling is essential to art, drama and music alike. It is also a wonderful tool in emotional expression, as powerful today as it ever has been. The participants will have the opportunity to explore the therapeutic effect of group storytelling in a playful and creative way. The underlying dynamics and emotions which this creates will be discussed afterwards. The medium will be fairly free although based in freely improvised music, as well as the possibility of narration interspersed with music. A discussion about the application of musical storytelling as a therapeutic technique will follow the practical elements of the workshop. We will discuss which client groups may benefit from this practice and why; as well as thinking about those for whom this may not be a suitable music therapy technique and why.
iv. Intuitive Music - Freeing your musicality to the healing flow
Julie Krøier, Music therapy student (Denmark)
Through different exercises the participant will discover ways of playing intuitive music and explore how to apply these playing methods in a clinical setting. All intuitive art-forms are welcome. Please bring your own instruments, graphic/verbal scores, improvisation exercises and all other relevant materials for use and exchange.
v. "Multiple Voices" - Workshop on Transdisciplinary Art Therapy
ISPA Art Therapy students: Edmundo Dos Santos, Sheila Mesas, Josep Turbau, Maeva Martinez, Marialba Torres, Moreia Ayats (Spain)
The goal of this workshop is to work with the multiple characters (heteronymes) that coexist in every one of us. The "heteronymes" are multiple, varied and different. They embody a multiple self, a self-with-the-other, always ready for transformation.
Thus this workshop opens a way through a transdisciplinary scope (music, dance movement and other creative techniques) for all the participants to acknowledge their own heteronymes, in a way of self insight and self construction, so we can let them arise in a fluent dialogue in which we can call out those that we need and abandon those that are no longer useful.
To dare to leave behind what oneself is, and be able to walk between death and rebirth, to be again and make of everyone's life a true work of art.
The heteronymes
Sometimes I am a blind woman
sometimes I am God,
At other times I am the Policeman
Sometimes I am the Victim,
At other times I am the Torturer
Yesterday I was the Lover, the day before I was the Mother
Long ago I was born Peter Pan at one side of the Forest
At the other side I turned into a solitary Cow Boy until getting to a stage where to become a Big Star
I also raised my flag with the power of a Conqueror
although soon afterwards I was dropping it to be a Writer
Tomorrow it is my turn to be the Teacher, but I know I will be surprised being an Artist
Today, I wish to be a Poet
Marialba Torres
vi. "The Foreign, the Strange, the Meaning, and I: a Dramatherapy workshop based on Ancient Greek drama"
Anastasia Karantzi + Elina Makrogianni, Drama therapy students (Greece)
In this workshop we will explore the basic axes interrelated to the notion of being a foreigner and the idea of "xenos" using original extracts from a number of Ancient
Greek tragedies.
vii. "Working with the inner child through the body"
Anastasia Nikolitsa, Dance Movement Therapist (Greece)
Using self-body awareness, relaxation and inner imagery work, we will connect the "here & now" of the body to the inner child's reality. A guided "journey" into the realm of the inner child through the body.
Biography: After completing my dance studies at the Professional Dance School 'Anna Petrova' in Athens (1995), I continued with Postgraduate and Master of Arts in Dance Movement Therapy at the Laban Centre/City University of London (2002). After that I trained in Applied Kinesiology at the Academy of Systematic Kinesiology in UK (2002). I have worked as a Dance Movement Therapist (DMT) in several schools, hospitals and institutions in London. I live and work as a Dance Therapist in Athens since 2003, in private practice. Apart from my therapy work, I have taught the Laban Movement Analysis system at the Laban Centre and the Metropolitan Unversity in London, as well as at the Professional Drama School of Diomidis Fotiadis, in Athens. Since 2003 I have organised and taught several workshops at my space 'Psychosoma' in Athens, as well as in other Greek towns, such as Iraklio, Hania, Rethimno and Kalamata. In December 2008 I presented at the Panhellenic Interdisciplinary Conference 'Child abuse and trauma'.
viii. My favourite tree
Paola Partsalaki- Anastasia Papaspyrou, Art therapy students (Greece)
Through the artistic representation of your favourite tree, you will come in touch with symbolic sides of yourself that you might or might not be aware of, and will be able to communicate with those sides. You will hopefully leave the workshop with a more complete view of yourself that could aid your further self-development.
ix. "Τhe other and I: enemies or allies"
Dido Salesioti & Athina Papadopoulou, Dramatherapy students (Greece)
Each of us creates relationships by carrying our own personal truth. However, how difficult is it to see the truth of the other? With the guidance of the «monsters story» we will look for ways to break the wall that prevent us from crossing to the other side. In this workshop we will work by using dramatherapy techniques based on the developmental model of Sue Jennings Embodiment, Projection, Role (E.P.R).
It is suggested to the participants to wear comfortable clothing.
If participants agree we would record the workshop for research purposes.
x. Group dynamics and the story of growth
Julie Joseph, Dance Movement Therapy student (UK)
My aim is to offer an opportunity to demonstrate and experience some movement techniques, which can be used with groups to promote healing and growth. Using the group dynamic, rhythm, synchrony, vitalization and symbolism the group can experience creating their own journey and story.
Having completed the movement exercise time will be available for discussion and questions and to explore the use in specific groups of clients. There will also be an opportunity to hear how this technique is being used with a group of women as part of a methadone treatment programme.
xi. Similarities and differences between Music therapy and Art therapy
Ralitza Ivanova, Music Therapy student & Catherine Pamplin, Art Therapy student (UK)
The purpose of our workshop will be to explore the similarities and differences between music therapy and art therapy - through experiential use of the two mediums. We hope, through discussion after the experiential, to gain an understanding of the subjective experience of the participants. We would then consider and evaluate any implications our experiences may have for integrated therapeutic approaches in practice. If the session proves fruitful we would hope to follow up with further research.
Maximum 10 participants (including the two of us).
If participants agree we would record the session for research purposes.
xii. "Drawing words, filling voids: a case study of a cross-dresser in existential psychotherapy"
Elisabeth Tapini, Existential Counselling Psychologist (UK)
What happens when, in the classic "talking
cure", the client is more articulate in non-verbal ways?
This is both a confession & a case study of an existential counselling
psychologist, who accommodated drawings in her work with a dyslexic
cross-dresser. An interesting dialogue between talking cure and art therapy!
Reprints of the client's work are presented together with the therapist's
reflections with the client's permission.
xiii. Combining art, play&drama to look at attachment
Camilla Waldburg, Family therapy student & Playtherapist (UK)
The workshop will start with an exercise on attachments. At the end a practical playtherapy case example from a BAPT (British Association of Play Therapists) training DVD will be shown.
xiv. Bearing the silence
Alexia Gaitanou, Dance Movement Therapy student (UK)
Working together, in movement, with the absence of words. Please wear comfortable clothes.
xv. Working with metaphor
Sabina Roubos, Dramatherapy student (the Netherlands)
Learn how to create a metaphor for a client or how clients can make one for each other. What can metaphors do, when and how do you work with them, how to introduce them in your therapy. It's based on the point of view of drama, but can be easily brought into a music, dance or art therapy context. Examples of this will be given.
xvi. "Scribbling and the circle of life"
Persephoni Krasidou, Art therapy student (UK)
The Scribbling game, has been invented
independently in the 1940s by the British psychoanalyst Donald W.
Winnicott (the squiggle game) and the American art teacher Florence Cane.
Over the years it has become one of the most popular procedures among art
therapists. Although game-like, it is a very powerful interaction.
In this workshop we are led to an emotional journey. As Barber (2002)
suggests:
‘Scribbling helps you to let go of inhibitions; the fantasy stage develops
your powers of imagination; tearing allows a carefree action; and
recreating enables you to restore a feeling of order and calm’
(Vicky Barber, Explore yourself through art, p.38)
I call it a circle of life :)
xvii. "The Runner" - Interactive art performance / installation by "Psychology-Art" Art Therapy students (Greece)
Produced by: Elena Tonikidi
Participants: Konstantinidou Maria, Karkantoni Chrisoula, Petridou Marianna, Polyzopoulou Lydia, Sianou Maria, Stoimenou Maria, Bisiritsa Christina, Psimari Anna, Deliakidou Zoe.
This art performance/installation will use the body image in order to create a visual environment. Participants will explore desires and wishes of the idealised part of their ego, inviting at the same time the audience to visualise their own desires and wishes as they will be observing and walking through what will be a colourful installation.
