Abstract
ABSTRACT This review article explores the interface between art therapy and the growing field of self-compassion. The term ONEBird refers to a model that integrates mindfulness, compassion, and creative expression in an educational, experiential, and therapeutic process. Background information is provided on the integration of self-compassion and mindfulness into effective training programs and a contemporary approach to psychotherapy. Empirical evidence for the protective role of self-compassion is also included. The model provides a framework for discussing the proposed mutual benefit of Mindful Self-Compassion and compassion-focused therapy to the field of art therapy, and the inherent suitability of art therapy for fostering the cultivation of non-judgmental awareness and a desire to alleviate personal suffering. The unique contribution of creative expression is discussed and a rationale for adopting an integrative art therapy model is presented.
