Arts-based approaches have not been widely used in the drug and alcohol treatment sector. In this study, we examined the utility of the arts-based method of Body Mapping in an Australian residential treatment centre. Two workshops were held to explore young people's strengths and support networks in order to improve understandings of young people's lives, identities and experiences of treatment. Semi-structured follow-up interviews were conducted and triangulated with observational notes and staff interviews. We identified four major themes: engaging through art; removing the mask; revealing strengths; and a sense of achievement. Overall, this study highlighted the value of Body Mapping as an approach to engage with young people, providing rich in-depth data about their lived experiences, including in the alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment context.
艺术方法在毒品和酒精治疗领域并未得到广泛应用。在本研究中，我们考察了身体映射这种艺术方法在澳大利亚住院治疗中心的应用。我们举办了两次工作坊，以探索年轻人的优势和支持网络，从而增进对年轻人生活、身份和治疗经历的了解。我们进行了半结构化的后续访谈，并与观察记录和员工访谈进行了三角验证。我们确定了四个主要主题：通过艺术参与；揭开面具；展现优势；以及成就感。总的来说，这项研究强调了身体映射作为一种与年轻人接触的方法的价值，为他们的生活经历提供了丰富的深入数据，包括在酒精和其他药物（AOD）治疗环境中。
