Humanity and Humility: Ethics, Pedagogy, and Art Therapy Contributions in the Response to Natural Disasters
Responding to natural disasters is something that we each do in our own way. We may first learn of impending natural disasters through mass media, and most certainly we are inundated with images, stories, and accounts of the damage, devastation, and trauma during and after the fact. Some of us may feel compelled to take an active response, such as volunteering on humanitarian efforts either in our home country or by traveling overseas as part of larger national or international organized efforts (Chilcote, 2007; Gelo & Gonzalez-Lugo, 2018; Hussain, 2010; Linton, 2017; Mohr, 2014; Potash et al., 2017). Ethics are involved, whether inherent or applied, or mandated through one's professional affiliation and the relevant credentialing authority (American Art Therapy Association, AATA, 2013; Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association, ANZACATA, 2020; Art Therapists' Association Singapore, ATAS, 2020; Art Therapy Credentials Board, ATCB, 2019).
