Foreword

This issue opens a new chapter of the journal because of two significant transitions with CAET involving a change within the editorial leadership and the affiliation of the journal with the International Association of Creative Arts in Education and Therapy (IACAET).

In 2015, Shaun McNiff became the first Editor in Chief of CAET. In addition to overseeing the overall quality of the journal for the past six years, he suggested the transition to open access and, more recently, encouraged the journal to consider affiliation with a professional association to help stabilize its future. In recent years, he has worked closely with Debra Kalmanowitz as Co-Editor in Chief. Debra joined the journal as a leader in the arts therapies, with considerable experience in Hong Kong and East Asia. Both Debra and Shaun support the transition to affiliation with IACAET. They recommended a new editorial leadership committed to this relationship since they became involved with CAET to support its original mission of East-West and global understanding, with a focus on China and its neighbors, which has been realized in volumes 1 through 7.

CAET is now in a period of transition to a new editorial team. We are very grateful to Prof. Shaun McNiff and Dr. Debra Kalmanowitz for their commitments and contributions that have brought the journal to its status and standing in the field. From the upcoming winter issue of 2021, they will become Co-Editors-in-Chief Emeritus and will serve as advisors, involved with special projects in the journal. The new Executive Editorial Committee (EEC) welcomes four co-editors: Prof. Vivien Marcow Speiser (Interim), Ronald P.M.H. Lay, Dr. Clive Holmwood, and Dr. Michal Lev.

To further our mission and continue our traditions of innovation, the CAET journal has started to support and co-create global webinars in collaboration with the IACAET in March 2019, which have made a significant contribution to our professional community during the time of COVID-19. IACAET, as a truly global organization, promotes a genuine universal dialogue, particularly between South and North, East and West, about the role and practice of the creative arts in education and therapy across the world. In our core beliefs, we value equality, diversity, and inclusivity. In doing so, IACAET encourages cross-regional, interdisciplinary, and intersectional collaboration.

We see the mission and vision of IACAET (the association) and CAET (the journal) in synergy, and thus, we have decided to associate CAET with IACAET. With this affiliation, CAET will also expand its outlook beyond China and its neighboring countries and will focus on being even more global in scope while honoring the wisdom and experience from a variety of different perspectives. This will continue to open the journal to publishing from an international and global perspective while maintaining the unique relationship that has already been established with China. We believe the world is ready for this continuing global dialogue, to further develop our fields in regions where the creative arts are being nurtured, evolved, and progressed.

The four new co-editors: Prof. Vivien Marcow-Speiser (Interim), Ronald P.M.H. Lay, Dr. Clive Holmwood, and Dr. Michal Lev have diverse backgrounds in dance, visual arts, drama, and expressive arts in education, therapy, community, and health and will bring new perspectives and innovative ideas to the journal.

Dr. Vivien Marcow Speiser is a Professor Emerita in Dance and Expressive Therapy and Co-Director of the Institute for Arts and Health at Lesley University. She has developed and implemented numerous arts-based programs throughout the USA and Israel. As the founder and director of the Arts Institute Project in Israel, she has been influential in the development of expressive arts therapy and education in that country. Many of her publications are grounded in her work with trauma and cross-cultural resolution through the arts. Her contributions to the field have made her an international leader in dance and expressive therapy and earned her a Fulbright Scholar Award as well as a Salzburg Global Seminars Fellowship in 2020. She has received an honorary Journal of Applied Arts in Health Lifetime Achievement in Arts and Health Award in 2019, the 2014 Distinguished Fellows Award from the Global Alliance for Arts and Health, and a 2015 Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award from the Israeli Expressive and Creative Arts Therapy Association.

Dr. Clive Holmwood has combined experience over 30 years as a drama practitioner and HCPC-(Health & Care Professions Council – UK) registered dramatherapist. He has worked in the public private and voluntary sectors, including the UK National Health Service. His areas of work include children and adults with learning disabilities and mental illness, looked after children, play and therapeutic play and older people with dementia. He is an Associate Professor in the Discipline of Therapeutic Arts at the University of Derby, where he lectures and researches in Dramatherapy, Creative Arts Health and Wellbeing and play, and also works in private practice. He is the co-editor of three Routledge International Handbooks on Dramatherapy (2016), Play, Therapeutic Play and Play Therapy (2021), and Therapeutic Stories and Storytelling (2022) with Sue Jennings. He also co-edited Learning as a Creative and Developmental Process in Higher Education published by Routledge in 2019.

Ronald P.M.H. Lay leads the postgraduate art therapy training in Singapore. He has an extensive practice-based career in forensic mental health and has varied research interests that has led to international consultation, collaborative projects, and leadership. He has designed and supervised multiple arts, culture, and mental health overseas experiential trips for his students and the industry. He is co-editor of Found Objects in Art Therapy: Materials and Process (2021) and has authored several book chapters and articles on practice, research, and art therapy training. Rounding out his professional pursuits is his passion for creating artwork, which tends to be constructive and conceptual.

Dr. Michal Lev is a board-certified art therapist, supervisor, and a certified family psychotherapist. Her clinical practice included inpatient and outpatient treatments for adults with mental health issues. She incorporates expressive therapies to deal with intimacy issues and promote wellbeing in her established private practice working with couples and families. Dr. Lev is faculty lecturer at the Ono Academy in Israel, promoting art-based pedagogy and research with her students and advisees in the graduate art therapy program. She is a social activist, artist, and entrepreneur, who maintains artmaking for innovation, inquiry, and knowledge. Her published articles and book chapters focus on intimacy, art-based research, and creative process-oriented pedagogy.

We would like to invite all our editorial board members, reviewers, and authors to be more engaged with the journal in the future. We consider each of you as the biggest asset we have in the journal, and we look forward to continuing to work with you on making an impact on our professional community and the world.

Kind regards,

Dr. Tony Yu Zhou
