Both of these artist-therapists have the global and interdisciplinary perspective and sensitivity that created the temenos that would foster the emergence of this contribution.

    For those unfamiliar with the thirty-year history of Expressive Arts Therapy, the introduction offers a good appetizer.

    This new program moved away from a specialization in a particular art therapy by developing a philosophy that embraced an interdisciplinary approach to the arts, indigenous healing systems, contemporary philosophical developments phenomenology, hermeneutics and deconstructionism , and community art-making within the program as an essential component of this approach.

    Expressive Arts Therapy was a blossoming as a profession. By , expressive arts therapists and trainers knew they needed a professional community for the exchange of ideas, research and professional development of this intermodal, multi-arts approach.

    They provide a global forum for professional dialogue and promote guiding principles for the professional practice of the expressive arts. The second part of the introduction will entice both newcomers and seasoned expressive arts therapists as the Levines grapple, as we all do, with clarifying but not limiting the definition of Expressive Arts Therapy.

    The fundamental concept of aesthetic responsibility Knill, Barba and Fuchs, implies an ability to use appropriate media for therapeutic purposes. The expressive arts therapist must therefore be prepared to work with sound, image, movement, enactment and text as they are required in the encounter with the lived situation of the client.

    Expressive Arts Therapy embraces these concepts as the key parts of their identity. Of particular controversy is the relevance of psychological theory.

    He suggests we create a new paradigm. In his vast contributions to the profession, Knill has given us a new paradigm and language which has helped to make expressive arts clearly distinctive and understood as a profession.

    In part one, the editors questioned the relevance of psychological theory. The authors in Part Two emphasize their psychological underpinning.
