“…Contradictive feelings and ineffective modes can become visible in the artwork, after which the artwork is replaced or edited according to preferred feelings and effective modes, giving meaning through objects in the form of pieces of artwork and explicitly reflecting on it . These strategies stimulate reappraisal, acceptance and integration of these feelings, corrective experiences, increased insight and decision‐making . The added value of art therapy in multidisciplinary treatment programmes may be especially this implicit self‐expression and emotion regulation process.…”

Despite the use of art therapy in clinical practice, its appreciation and reported beneficial results, no instruments are available to measure specific effects of art therapy among patients with personality disorders cluster B/C in multidisciplinary treatment. In the present study, we described the development and psychometric evaluation of the Self‐expression and Emotion Regulation in Art Therapy Scale (SERATS). Structural validity (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis), reliability, construct validity and sensitivity to change were examined using two independent databases (n = 335; n = 34) of patients diagnosed with personality disorders cluster B/C. This resulted in a nine‐item effect scale with a single factor with a high internal reliability and high test–retest reliability; it demonstrated discriminant validity and sensitivity to change. In conclusion, the SERATS is brief and content‐valid and offers objective and reliable information on self‐expression and emotion regulation in art therapy among patients with personality disorders cluster B/C. Although more research on construct validity is needed, the SERATS is a promising tool to be applied as an effect scale and as a monitoring tool during art therapy treatment. © 2017 The Authors Personality and Mental Health Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd

“…In the treatment of personality disorders, it is clear that art therapy makes use of Schema Therapy and that, more and more often, in both clinical and outpatient treatment, therapists work along these lines. Experts in the field as well as the Dutch national multidisciplinary guideline for personality disorders [ National Advisory Committee Regarding Multidisciplinary Guidelines for Development in Mental Healthcare ] assume that art therapy can be integrated in Schema Therapy, and that it is a useful complement to it ( Landelijke Stuurgroep Multidisciplinaire Richtlijn ontwikkeling in de GGZ [National Advisory Committee Regarding Multidisciplinary Guidelines for Development in Mental Healthcare] , 2008; Schweizer et al, 2009; Haeyen, 2011, 2018a,b; Van Vreeswijk et al, 2012a,b).…”

This article reviews recent theoretical contributions and studies about art therapy that attempt to capture aspects of healthy ego functioning and presents an inventory of art therapy interventions to strengthen the Healthy Adult. It discusses how art therapy can offer interventions that focus specifically and directly on the integration and growth of the whole person, and which interventions are suitable for this purpose in the treatment of people diagnosed with severe personality disorders. A link is made between the Healthy Adult as a familiar concept from Schema Therapy, and Positive Psychology, with its focus on well-being, strength and positive affect. On the basis of our present knowledge, available studies and experiences, art therapy seems promising in contributing to the development of Healthy Adult functioning. Art therapy addresses the different areas of healthy adult functioning. Specific art therapy interventions are discussed on a concrete level. Art therapy appears to offer ways to strengthen the Healthy Adult and helps people to free themselves from destructive patterns and to work on satisfying their basic needs as independent and responsibly functioning individuals in a positive connectedness with themselves and their surroundings. The strength of art therapy may be the experiential level and the appeal to the capacity to play, to flexibility, and to be creative. This makes experiences easier to reach, and developing from there into a Healthy Adult mode is possible in a manner that is more felt than thought. Creativity can be regarded as the ability of the Healthy Adult to be flexible and to find different solutions to a problem. This appeal of art therapy fits well the therapeutic goal of empowerment and well-being, which is at the heart of positive psychology. More research is needed to verify the effects and working mechanisms of art therapy interventions.

“…In addition, playful strategies activate patients to explore and develop alternative patterns in acting, thinking, and feeling (Schweizer et al, 2009). These strategies stimulate a mindful self-dialogue, expression of feelings in the present moment, selfawareness and self-agency (Rubin, 2001;Schweizer et al, 2009), change in behaviour, thoughts, or feelings, reflection on (contradictory) feelings and reappraisal, acceptance and integration of these feelings, corrective experiences, increased insight (Huckvale & Learmonth, 2009;Van Vreeswijk, Broersen, Bloo, & Haeyen, 2012), understanding oneself in interactions with others, personal growth, and making decisions (e.g. Franks & Whitaker, 2007;Karterud & Pedersen, 2004;Springham, Findlay, Woods, & Harris, 2012).…”

“…Regarding the therapeutic style, the art therapist balances between emotional closeness and distance and has a coaching, validating, inquisitive, or 'not-knowing' stance and supporting style, which stimulates autonomy and responsibility of the patient, but also provides structure (Landelijke Stuurgroep Multidisciplinaire Richtlijn ontwikkeling in de GGZ, 2008). For instance, the art therapist is 'limited reparenting' by offering soft materials and supportive art assignments and taking a comforting role in the cooperation but keeping the patient responsible (Gunther et al, 2009;Haeyen, 2015;Van Vreeswijk et al, 2012). The art therapist works in partnership with the PD patients to develop autonomy and promote choice.…”

Art therapy for people diagnosed with personality disorders (PD) cluster B/C seems valuable to explore dysfunctional patterns in managing emotions. Current art therapy interventions are based on practical beliefs or commonsense approaches, without a sound basis in research results. To increase the effectiveness of art therapy for this target group, a planned, systematic and theory-based approach is needed. The principles of Intervention Mapping were applied to guide the development, implementation, and planned evaluation of the art therapy intervention. Empirical findings, theoretical models, and clinical practice experience were combined to construct a programme tailored to the needs of the target group. A structured 10-session art therapy intervention programme for patients was developed, aimed at: experiencing a (more) stable and positive sense of self, being able to express and regulate emotions, understanding emotions, thoughts and behaviours, using improved social and problem solving skills. Implementation took place and evaluation of the intervention is being carried out. The systematically developed art therapy intervention seems to be promising for PD patients in learning to deal with their problems. The results of the evaluation study may contribute to the knowledge about the use of art therapy for PD problems.
