“…This process leads not only to creativity and expression of the individual’s emotional state, but also to the reconstruction of situations and emotions for the individual. This technique of combining the writing of words and transforming them into drawings is reminiscent of the technique described by Winnicott, in which the patient elaborates a trace that culminates in a figure or vice versa, giving a story understood within the personal history of the individual [ 29 ]. This has also been reported to be effective in the context of child therapy [ 30 , 31 ].…”

Background Adolescents and young adults are vulnerable to developing mental distress. However, evidence suggests that more than half of the young people with symptoms of depression and anxiety overcome their distress within a year. However, there is little research on the exact resources that young people use and help them to recover. The aim of this study was to explore how arts activities can support the recovery of young people engaged with arts organizations in Bogota. Methods We recruited 38 participants from two arts organizations in Bogotá and conducted six focus groups embedded within artistic workshops. The type of activities in the workshops varied reflecting the different teaching methods of the two organizations. The focus group discussions were recorded and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Five themes explained how arts activities can help young people participating in artistic organizations to overcome mental distress: i) allowing the expression of emotions; ii) helping to manage and transform emotions; iii) distracting from problems; iv) facilitating social support and relationships; and v) contributing to the identity of young people. Conclusions For young people who participate in artistic organizations, the arts are a resource for overcoming negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, and sadness. The beneficial role of arts activities includes different process of managing, expressing, and distracting from distress, and it differs depending on whether arts are perceived as a professional vocation or a hobby.

“…The development of squiggle tasks progressed from free doodling to gestalt and image-making, or the well-known method of Winnicott's squiggle game. Winnicott et al (2018) used the squiggle game not just as an assessment, but to build a therapeutic alliance with the child and to aid the unfolding of the subconscious or recall of a dream. In art therapy, it can be used as an introduction to nonjudgmental and spontaneous creation.…”

Considerando que o cuidado infantil é socialmente visto como responsabilidade materna, justifica-se a realização de pesquisas que abordem as maneiras pelas quais se concretiza tal tarefa. A presente investigação objetiva compreender a experiência de mães de filhos que apresentam dificuldades no processo de conquista de independência. Delineia-se por meio da abordagem de mães de crianças autistas, tendo em vista que tal condição representa, de modo emblemático, situações de vida nas quais o cuidado infantil se intensifica e se faz duradouro. O material de pesquisa foi produzido a partir de quatro entrevistas psicológicas individuais, organizadas ao redor do Procedimento de Desenhos-Estórias com Tema. A consideração psicanalítica do material permitiu a produção interpretativa de três campos de sentido afetivo-emocional: “É culpa da mãe”, “Dedicando-se exclusivamente” e “Cuidado espontâneo”. O quadro geral revela que a experiência materna pode tanto se realizar de modo angustiante, quanto fluir como gesto espontâneo de atendimento do filho.
