Title: From Linear to Imaginal: Choosing Research Methods to Inform Art Therapy Practice.
Authors: Netzer, Dorit1,2 dorit.netzer@hofstra.edu

Subject Terms: *Art therapy, *Qualitative research, *Psychological research, Heuristic, Mental imagery
Abstract: The author discusses how a personal, evolving understanding of art therapy practice was reflected in and influenced by the author's choice of qualitative research methods. Heuristic inquiry in graduate research required a thematic analysis of artwork as symbolic depiction of the narratives disclosed by research participants. A shift to intuitive inquiry 10 years later employed a process of imaginal resonance that involved mental imaging in response to mystical poetry, art making, and embodied writing. This process yielded a new, holistic understanding of the participants' experiences and diminished reliance on analytical discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
