Abstract:
Diese Arbeit hat eine Standortbestimmung zum Gegenstand. Grundlegende Frage ist, wie sich der Coachingansatz durch das eigene künstlerische Tun verändert. Dazu werden die drei Stränge "Poiesis" – das eigene künstlerische Tun, "Theoria" – Auseinandersetzung mit grundlegenden Theorien und "Praxis" – Einsatz im beruflichen Kontext, in den Zeitdimensionen Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft betrachtet. Daraus ergibt sich eine Matrix von neun Schritten, die sich aus Spencer Browns „Laws of Form“ ableitet.

This work deals with a position fixing. The main question is “How the approach to coaching alters through my own art-working”. The three strings of "Poiesis" –my own art-working, "Theoria" – reflection of basic theoretical approaches and "Praxis" – the application in the vocational context, are reflected in the time dimensions of past, presence and future. This results in a matrix of nine steps which is derived from Spencer Browns “Laws of Form”.

Abstract:
This paper provides a comparative analysis of two approaches in adolescent group therapy the Expressive Art Therapy Approach and the Psychodynamic Approach. Based on a field study undertaken in the Palestinian Territories it was found that when applied to a group of teenagers Expressive Art Therapy yields more effective therapeutic results than the classical Psychodynamic Approach. As Expressive Art Therapy uses a range of artistic modes to substitute the transitional object the clients respond more positively to this approach than to the classical one. In Expressive Art Therapy the problem of counter-transference is dealt with by the use of the inter-modal transference through multi-artistic modes and tools transference thus occurs through the regular variation of artistic modes and tools. In addition to that Expressive Art Therapy helps build a more dynamic group where the clients feel more open to choose the artistic mode in which they wish to express themselves.

Abstract:
The thesis’s aim is to introduce the solution-building interview in Physiotherapy education in
Denmark. The method is used in psychotherapy and Expressive Arts Coaching. Two case studies
were completed as a result of two courses of study with students at Skodsborg Physiotherapy
School Denmark. These incorporated qualitative questionnaires individual- and group interview in
order to clarify which influence the solution-building interviewing has on the interactions between
physical therapist and patient.
The investigation shows that the student’s space for manoeuvre is expanded. By utilizing the
method the students achieve more satisfaction at work and increased consciousness about the
significance of dialogue. The solution-building interview enables the patients to use their own
resources. The research concludes that the interaction between the physical therapist and the
patient will improve if the solution-building interview is incorporated in Physiotherapy.

Abstract:
Expressive Arts Therapy helps clients to increase their range of play—to move from the “dire straits” to a place of possibility. This thesis explores play-oriented decentering by investigating how we define play through the arts and how clients benefit. Ethological studies of animal play are considered as is the role of play in the arts and in therapy. Included are results of arts-based research conducted with healthy adults ages 23-55. Heuristic reflections and poetic reduction provide thick descriptions of this well recognized but difficult to pinpoint phenomenon. Twelve categories of benefits were found as well as a working definition of arts-based play: “a satisfying process-oriented engaged interaction that allows for experimentation and surprise.” The impact these findings have on facilitation is discussed.
