自古以来,绘画艺术就广泛应用于人类的精神与心理健康的各个领域。绘画与心理康复之间的关系就是一个古老而常谈的话题。
1.人类为何要绘画?
人类何以热衷于绘画?特别是那些年幼的人类小孩。
但是,将绘画与心理的功能联结起来,绘画可以起到心理康复的作用,这是18世纪以来的事,绘画心理分析与治疗作为个以偶职业出现也是20世纪40年代以来才发生的。
如果要追根溯源,绘画与人类心理康复的关系可以在不同历史时期和不同的民族文化中寻找到痕迹。例如史前洞穴中的岩画、古埃及木乃伊上的防御性符号,藏传佛教徒绘制的沙质曼陀罗等等,这些痕迹都是我们现在的绘画疗法可以追寻的源源,同时,也表明。绘画对于身心健康的作用一直以来就没有从人类的意识领域消失。
诸多学科对绘画与心理康复关系的研究也支持绘画治疗效用。
神经学与精神病学的研究表明,图像有激活生理心理过程的力量;社会学的研究证实,审美和绘画创作具有生理性根源,即审美来源于天生的一种倾向;艺术史学的理论认为,洞穴艺术是对年幼者适应复杂生活的一种灌输过程,让他们从绘画中获取生存的诸多信息;人类学家认为,绘画和其他艺术,例如游戏等,可以为幼小孩子的未来成年生活提供演练机会,经常观看绘画,可以培养幼小者的视觉区分能力,因为视觉区分能力不但在自然界中提供导航能力,也是辨认面孔、面部表情的手段,为适应社会铺平道路;物理学与知觉神经学家的研究证明,心理图像与外部世界物体图像激活相同的神经通路,图像对大脑有刺激活跃的功能,对情绪调适有益;进化心理学对绘画与心理康复的关系是这样评价的,他说绘画活动能让人产生满足感,起到提高自尊的效果;认知心理学认为,绘画活动不仅可以改善情绪智力,而且还可以增强快感,促进心理功能的协调发展;健康心理学家认为,绘画活动可以通过意象形式将那些隐藏在身体内的负性情绪表达出来,临床心理学的研究表明,只有释放躯体内的生理应激,心理康复才有可能,绘画可以直接与那些消极的、痛苦的或恐惧的情绪相连。
2.绘画心理分析与治疗的应用领域主要在以下几个方面。
绘画心理分析与治疗对画者自我意象改变有促进作用,通过绘画让画者审视自我意象,探索成长中的问题,促进画者情感的整合;绘画心理分析与治疗可以改善个体的自尊水平和自我概念,绘画创作对面临家庭和发展问题的画者,可以缓解来自家庭和社会的压力,强化自我意识,提高自尊水平,协调自我同一性;绘画心理分析与治疗可以改进个体的社会交往技能,团体绘画,例如接龙画、交替画等,可以培养画者的沟通能力、训练画者的社交技能,促进画者的社会化;绘画心理分析与治疗可以促进个体的语言发展、语言表达,绘画虽然是视觉性语言,但是在画画以后,治疗师会让画者说画或根据图画讲故事,这个过程就是画者学习表达和如何表达的一次次训练,有助于画者有条理的表达画意;绘画心理分析与治疗可以改善个体的认知能力,训练个体的注意力、观察力、想象力;绘画心理分析与治疗在临床咨询中的作用,表现在省时、省力,容易操作,让不善表达者说"画",绘画是一个个体全身心参与的过程,触动画者的内在世界;绘画心理分析与治疗在心理危机中的应用,可以抚慰创伤体验、宣泄负性情绪、治疗丧失经验、整合破裂的自我。
由此可以看出,绘画心理分析与治疗在以上领域都可以发挥独特的作用,这种独特性在于绘画心理分析与治疗的过程与绘画创作是一个并行的过程,画者不但全身心参与,而且还会创作出独立于画者的画作,同时,画者还要审视自己的杰作,并与治疗师互动,在这些活动中,都有触动画者的作用在发生,于是治疗或者咨询就开始了。
