Abstract:
Expressive arts therapy (EAT) is a significant means of trauma intervention, which has beckoned much attention. As an EAT, mandalas have a unique advantage in trauma intervention. The creation is a process of personal healing, specifically manifested in the fact that the individual's internal trauma experience can be externalized through metaphoric means such as graphics, lines, sizes, and colors, to alleviate the discomfort directly caused by trauma exposure. Moreover, the Mandala is committed to the psychosomatic healing and integration of individuals from the beginning to the end, and it adopts symbolic methods to stimulate the creator's introspection and self-observation to actively facilitate the restoration of the relationship, which is highly consistent with the characteristics of police trauma. Embracing mandalas in police trauma intervention can provide theoretical support and empirical guidance for the latter, thereby enhancing their professional sense of belonging and happiness.
表达性艺术治疗是进行创伤干预的重要手段,一直以来备受关注。曼陀罗作为其中一员,在创伤干预中具有独特的优势。其创作本身即为个体疗愈的过程,具体表现在个体的内在创伤体验可以通过图形、线条、大小、颜色等隐喻形式外化,以此减少创作者由于创伤直接暴露而造成的不适。再有,曼陀罗从始至终致力于实现个体身心的疗愈与整合,同时采用象征的手法激发创作者的内省与自我体察,在此基础上积极促成关系的修复。这些与警察创伤的特点有很高的契合度。将曼陀罗纳入警察创伤干预策略之中,可以为后者提供理论支撑与实证引导,由此提升其职业归属感和幸福感。
