    Editorial
    (2009-08-01) Young, Courtenay; Karkou, Vicky
    This is the fourth volume and eighth issue of the journal, Body, Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy, and it is the first issue that Helen Payne, the editorin-chief and founder of the journal, has encouraged other members of the editorial board to undertake tasks for co-ordination, editing and writing of the editorial. It has been decided that, for the next four years, teams of two editors from the editorial board will take turns to write editorials, edit the submissions and co-ordinate the work for the journal. Each team is made up of a Dance Movement Psychotherapist and a Body Psychotherapist. The 'northern team,' consisting of Vicky Karkou and Courtenay Young, is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and has taken the responsibility to edit the next few issues, starting with this one. The 'southern team,' Gill Westland and Helen Payne, based in Cambridge and Hertfordshire, respectively, will undertake the tasks involved with future volumes. We are hoping that this new structure of collaboration will offer a slightly different flavour to the journal, coloured by the editorial comments and choices made by the two teams.

    Training and professionalisation in the arts therapies: Some examples and perspectives from Europe
    (2017-05-01) Karkou, Vicky; Tsiris, Giorgos; Kayafa, Diana
    Drawing on historical and contemporary examples from different European countries, this paper explores the diverse landscape of training and professionalisation in the arts therapies. As such different approaches and pathways of development are outlined alongside considerations of the sociopolitical conditions of different countries. After a brief historical note regarding the development of the arts therapies, we focus on training within modern European contexts and explore issues of collaboration and integration. Within this context, we discuss the role of professional bodies and reflect on the balance between shared standards and diversity in the arts therapies. This leads to a consideration of professional recognition and of its complexities.

    Art therapy in the postmodern world: Findings from a comparative study across the UK, Russia and Latvia
    (Elsevier, 2011-04) Karkou, Vicky; Martinsone, K.; Nazarova, N.; Vaverniece, I.
    This is a comparative study of the development of art therapy in the UK, Russia and Latvia. The study is triggered by the belief that important learning can take place from fostering shared understanding and respecting differences across practices within a postmodern world that bears the danger of fragmentation and the loss of professional identity. Following a discussion of key postmodern ideas within art and arts therapies and historical references to the development of art therapy in the three countries studied, this paper provides an opportunity for empirically-based comparisons of practice. In particular, a questionnaire, originally developed by, was disseminated to all practicing art therapists in the UK, Russian and Latvian specialists using art and art therapy methods, Russian graduates and Latvian students of the first training program in art therapy (). Collected information relating to work environments, client groups and therapeutic trends were statistically analyzed in order to identify differences across countries. Mutual interactions and 'cultural borrowing' were also found and discussed primarily with regard to therapeutic trends. Despite methodological limitations, the study opens the way for future collaborations on the basis of informed understanding of art therapy practices across countries. Crown Copyright 2011.
