I used painting to reflect on my self and on specific experiences I had at the beginning of my PhD journey. This process of self-reflection resulted in the emergence of human flourishing. Aims: To demonstrate a process of critical creative reflection and to outline how this process can facilitate understanding of self, and of the philosophy and theory underpinning my PhD work and, consequently, lead to human flourishing. Conclusion: Self-reflection underpinned by critical creativity facilitates understanding of ‘self’ and of work that can result in human flourishing. Implications for practice: A facilitated process of critical self-reflection is a necessary step towards becoming a person-centred researcher/practitioner who knows self Using creativity in reflection can take us beyond structured reflection in practice and introduce critical learning that incorporates intelligence held in the body Engaging in critical creative reflection can result in human flourishing, which lays the foundations for a person to achieve their potential and facilitates continued critical reflection in future workItem Guest editorial: Rehabilitation – strengthening advocacy for change. It’s time to act.(Occupational Therapy Association of South Africa (OTASA), 2017-12-06) Williams, Elvin; Maseko, Lebogang; Buchanan, HelenItem Grassroots initiatives as pioneers of low-budget practices: An activists’ roundtable(2015-02) CiT-Collective; Gängeviertel; New Cross Commoners; Revolutionary Autonomous Communities; Derwanz, Heike; Vollmer, Hans; Plotegher, PaoloGrassroots initiatives around the world try to balance neighbourhood responsibility with politics. As David Harvey writes: ‘The urban obviously functions […] as an important site of political action and revolt’ (Harvey, 2012: 117). He regards territorial organisation and spontaneity, volatility and rapidity as characteristic features of urban political movements (ibid.). Other writers dealing with critical urban theory describe the political and economic tasks relevant groups need to perform. In this round table we wish to inquire into these performances. To this end, we have taken Brenner, Marcuse and Mayer’s finding that the accumulation strategies one finds in cities not only concern capital, but can also be local and highly specific (Brenner, Marcuse and Mayer, 2012: 1) as our starting point for asking the activists themselves how these other strategies and urban change come alive on a grassroots level. RAC-LA from Los Angeles, the New Cross Commoners from London, the CiT Collective from Vienna and Gängeviertel from Hamburg answered our questions concerning the manner in which they organise to ‘save the city’. In this round table, ‘saving’ the city refers to all the various notions of saving: refashioning a civil society by mobilising the public, helping neighbourhoods or urban society in general to cope with current and future challenges such as growing inequality, avoiding the waste of money and resources in their voluntary work by redistributing, reusing or preserving items within the metabolism of the cities, or in many other ways. Some are aligned with the ‘right to the city movement’[1], a name coined by Henry Lefebvre, nowadays an umbrella organisation for activists ‘fighting for democracy, justice and sustainability in our cities’[2]. They share similar ideals, interests and motivations, but have developed diverse ways of pursuing them. All four of them, centred on the fight for space, resources and collectivity, sent contributions in response to our call for participation and contributed their experiences with organising themselves. After sending a questionnaire to four representatives, we compiled them for an activists’ round table which introduces their initiatives and shows how they work. Our questions concerning the ‘how-to’ are focused on methods, skills and calculations like the juggling of finances versus autonomy. The questionnaire enabled us to place different experiences and organisation models side by side, hopefully without losing their original voices.Item Diario raruno: El humor y la ironía permiten desplazarnos de un dolor que a veces nos atrapa(Intermediæ, 2018-06) Las raras; Plotegher, Paolo; Blanco Olmedo, Francisca; Martin, SaraItem ‘What’s the WiFi code in here?’: Connecting with adolescents in music therapy(Oxford University Press, 2019-06-06) Derrington, Philippa; McFerran, Katrina; Derrington, Philippa; Saarikallio, SuviIntroducing the third section of the Handbook, which broadly addresses connectedness, music, and adolescents, this chapter focuses on the context of a secondary school in the United Kingdom for students with social, emotional, and mental health needs, and explores how music therapy can help young people find creative new ways of connecting. The importance of the music therapy space, the resources, and communication with teaching staff are highlighted alongside a person-centred and psychodynamic approach. One resource, the video camera, is presented as having an important role in connecting with young people in sessions. Discussed and illustrated through case examples, the camera is shown to offer young people different ways of experiencing and re-experiencing, interacting, sharing control, witnessing, and being witnessed, leading to positively adaptive interconnectedness and emotional wellbeing.
