• The efficacy of play theraoy with children: A meta-analytic review of treatment outcomes. (2005). Sue C.Bratton, Dee Ray et Tammy Rhine. Professional Psychology: research and practice. Vol.36, no4, 376.

Abstract: The efficacy of psychological interventions for children has long been debated among mental health professionals; however, only recently has this issue received national attention, with the U.S. Public Health Service (2000) emphasizing the critical need for early intervention and empirically validated treatments tailored to children’s maturational needs. Play therapy is a developmentally responsive intervention widely used by child therapists but often criticized for lacking an adequate research base to support its growing practice. A meta-analysis of 93 controlled outcome studies (published 1953-2000) was conducted to assess the overall efficacy of play therapy and to determine factors that might impact its effectiveness. The overall treatment effect for play therapy interventions was 0.80 standard deviations. Further analysis revealed that effects were more positive for humanistic than for nonhumanistic treatments and that using parents in play therapy produced the largest effects. Play therapy appeared equally effective across age, gender, and presenting issue. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

• Art Therapy with Culturally Different Clients. (1994). Cynthia A. Westlich. Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association , Vol. 11, Issue 3,  pages 187-190.

Abstract: To create a therapeutic alliance with a client, the art therapist needs to he sensitive to the cultural differences which can bias the relationship. The purpose of this paper is to present a literature review of specific cross-cultural therapeutic principles to be considered during treatment. Furthermore, it defines how barriers such as language, diagnostic errors, and others may influence the treatment and possibly contribute to a client’s early termination from therapy. The author also considers the use of art materials and gives attention to products and/or to processes during art therapy with the client. It is by exploring these issues that art therapists can possibly discover an individualized technique which will best benefit their clients who may have different cultural values, beliefs, and traditions.
