“…In particular, multisensory methods and methods like savoring or capitalizing (Bryant, 2003) are consistent with rich Latino cultural traditions of music and storytelling, or cuentos. In fact, art therapy with Latinos has shown its effectiveness in discussing of oppression, familial conflict, acculturative stress, and gentrification of Latino communities (Linesch, Aceves, Quezada, Trochez, & Zuniga, 2012;Moxley, 2013). Murals and graffiti art are two forms of artistic expression found in the Latino community.…”

Little of the research that has been done with the Latino community has taken an asset-based approach and identified cultural based strengths rather than deficit views. This chapter builds upon the emerging research in positive psychology and highlights the innumerable cultural strengths of Latinos that have largely gone unrecognized or understudied. We emphasize ways in which the field of positive psychology can incorporate the experience of Latinos who face economic, educational, and linguistic challenges and who also display enormous resilience as they navigate American society. We identify affective, behavioral, and cognitive-based assessment methods and strategies that have high cultural and linguistic validity and that hold promise for future research with Latinos.We begin with a brief overview of relevant statistics and then provide a selective commentary on the importance of assessing positive strengths among Latinos. We refer to three critical dimensions of the Latino experience as it

“…This study was conducted in accordance with a qualitative, practice-based research methodology based on grounded theory (Charmaz, 2006;Linesch et al, 2012;Metzl, 2015;Penzes et al, 2014;Strauss & Corbin, 1998). With a bottom-up approach a theoretical frame about working elements in art therapy with children diagnosed with ASD will be elaborated.…”

12 the third circle. The outer circle frames the treatment Outcomes. The COAT-model and the descriptive results were used as building blocks in further studies. Research sub-question 2. Based on the literature, which typical elements in art therapy for children diagnosed with ASD can be identified that contribute to positive treatment outcomes? Children diagnosed with ASD are often referred to AT. The therapy seems promising for helping them with problems in the areas of social behavior, learning skills, and focusing attention (Schweizer, 2014; Teeuw, 2011). Also, there are some indications that improvements are generalized at home and in the classroom (Pioch, 2010). In this second study we systematically explored what evidence could be found in the research literature for 'working' elements of AT for children diagnosed with ASD. A search for intervention studies published between 1995-2012 was executed with relevant keywords (art, art therapy, Autism Spectrum Disorder, child, effect, outcome) using well-known databases: Cochrane, ERIC, MEDLINE, PubMED, psychINFO, ERIC, and Google. Assessment studies were excluded. The search did not find any intervention study that matched the criteria, also meaning that no systematic reviews, meta-analyses or RCTs could be identified. What we did find was a number of well-documented publications concerning art therapy for individual children diagnosed with ASD in the form of case descriptions that enabled a thorough content analysis. This analysis was structured according to the four categories of the COAT-model and resulted in a second description of promising elements of art therapy with children diagnosed with ASD. As a result of study 1 and 2 a substantial number of typical elements was identified. Our next aim was to compute the degree of consensus in a sample of art therapists and referrers regarding the relevance and applicability of these elements in daily practice. From the resulting list of consensus-based items two measuring instruments were developed for respectively observing the child's and the therapist's behavior during AT. This was because there was no instrument that could be used to monitor the behaviors of the main people involved in AT: the child and the therapist. Research sub-question 3. To what extent is there consensus among art therapists and referrers regarding the relevance and applicability in daily practice of typical elements of art therapy with children diagnosed ASD, identified in studies 1 and 2? 17 13 The scope of the third study was to determine the degree of consensus among experienced art therapists and referrers about the relevance and applicability of typical elements of art therapy with children diagnosed ASD. The input was the 'longlist' of elements (items) obtained from studies 1 and 2. For this third study the Delphi methodology was applied using a mixed-methods design. Additionally, a Focus group session was conducted to clarify some contradictory results from the Delphi study. The result was a 'shortlist' of elements with face valid...

“…Art can be a great way to work with people from any culture as it provides a universal language to express thoughts and feelings (McNiff & Barlow, 2009). Art has been used to help Latino families process the experience of immigration (Linesch et al, 2012) but not following a disaster. The art intervention was inspired by photo inquiry (Photovoice) and conceptually integrated with collage inquiry (Butler-Kisber, 2018).…”

Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017. The devastation displaced many families and led to negative mental health outcomes. We use the intersection of Oyserman’s possible selves’ theory and Walsh’s family resilience theory, to aid in elucidating the process of positive familial coping within resilience among Latinx families. Nine different family units participated in an art-based intervention and subsequent focus groups in Florida in November 2018. Grounded theory guided analysis, and themes emerged using intersecting aspects of the above-mentioned theories. Understanding the impact that positive familial selves have on resilience can lead to future development of family interventions and a better understanding of how to foster resilience.
