En el presente artículo se realizará una aproximación al término arteterapia con la finalidad de comprender los principios fundamentales de esta joven materia tanto en su ámbito disciplinar como profesional. En primer lugar, se abordará la relación existente entre los conceptos Arte y Terapia, destacando la creatividad como nexo entre ambos. A continuación, se revisa el concepto de arteterapia a partir de las diferencias que presenta frente a las psicoterapias predominantemente verbales.

Introduccion y objetivos La globulina transportadora de hormonas sexuales (SHBG) es una molecula clave en la regulacion del efecto de los esteroides anabolizantes. En la insuficiencia cardiaca cronica se ha descrito un deterioro anabolico, pero se desconoce el valor de la SHBG. Metodos Se incluyeron 104 varones (53 ± 11 anos) con insuficiencia cardiaca (FEVI Resultados A la inclusion, los niveles de SHBG (34,5 [27-50] nmol/l) se correlacionaron con los de NT-proBNP (r = 0,271; p = 0,005), la FEVI (r = −0,263; p = 0,007), el indice de masa corporal (r = −0,199; p = 0,020) y la testosterona total (r = 0,332; p = 0,001). Los niveles de SHBG fueron mayores (48,5 [36-69,5] frente a 33 [25,3-48,7] nmol/l; p = 0,001) en pacientes que fallecieron (n = 16 [15,4%]) y se asociaron a un mayor riesgo de muerte (HR = 1,045; IC del 95%, 1,021-1,069; p Conclusiones Los niveles de SHBG se correlacionan con medidas de severidad de la insuficiencia cardiaca y se asocian a un mayor riesgo de muerte cardiaca. Nuevos estudios deben aclarar si la SHBG tiene un papel en la fisiopatologia de la insuficiencia cardiaca.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a key regulator of the actions of anabolic steroids. Chronic heart failure (HF) has been associated with anabolic steroid deficiency, but its relationship with SHBG is not known. METHODS: The study involved 104 men (53+/-11 years) with HF (i.e. left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF]

El presente documento ofrece una revisión de programas de arteterapia implementados en las prisiones del mundo, valorando sus efectos dentro del conjunto de los programas de rehabilitación para población reclusa. Ofrece asimismo un informe del programa de arteterapia desarrollado, durante los años 2006 a 2009, en el Centro Penitenciario Huelva II. Se presentan sus objetivos, metodología y resultados de la evaluación cuantitativa y cualitativa de su influencia en los niveles de ansiedad y depresión, así como el efecto obtenido en la reincidencia penitenciaria y en la capacitación sociocultural., This document provides an overview of art therapy programs implemented in prisons in the world, assessing its effects in rehabilitation programs for prison population. Report also offers art therapy program developed during the years 2006 to 2009, in the prison Huelva II. Objectives, methodology and results of the quantitative and qualitative assessment of their influence on levels of anxiety and depression are presented, and the effect obtained in prison recidivism and the sociocultural training.

The distinctive features of Art therapy are represented in the combination of the artistic expression and the therapeutic process. In this relation, the tools are the different plastic and visual art techniques and materials as a vehicle that makes possible the communication between patient and arttherapist. The use of these means causes to consider them in two of their essencial facets: in its psychological dimension affecting its comunicative, expressive and symbolic potencial and in its material dimension, emphasizing its possibilities and material qualities.

In 1920 the Expressionist Pedagogy continued until 1940. It consisted of a new methodology of Artistic Teaching based on a person’s free and emotional expression. It did not take into consideration previous instructional or teaching techniques; only those acquired in an autonomous way by experimenting with artistic techniques and materials were considered. This artistic didactic was able to combine the progressive pedagogy and the new technical and conceptual speeches which were promulgated by the avant-gard artists. Moreover, it will question the objectives and methodologies of the artistic teaching whose inf uence will create a favorable environment in the educative f eld due to the appearance and the professional expansion of Art Therapy.

Short scales are typically used in the social, behavioural and health sciences. This is relevant since test length can influence whether items showing DIF are correctly flagged. This paper compares the relative effectiveness of discriminant logistic regression (DLR) and IRTLRDIF for detecting DIF in polytomous short tests.A simulation study was designed. Test length, sample size, DIF amount and item response categories number were manipulated. Type I error and power were evaluated.IRTLRDIF and DLR yielded Type I error rates close to nominal level in no-DIF conditions. Under DIF conditions, Type I error rates were affected by test length DIF amount, degree of test contamination, sample size and number of item response categories. DLR showed a higher Type I error rate than did IRTLRDIF. Power rates were affected by DIF amount and sample size, but not by test length. DLR achieved higher power rates than did IRTLRDIF in very short tests, although the high Type I error rate involved means that this result cannot be taken into account.Test length had an important impact on the Type I error rate. IRTLRDIF and DLR showed a low power rate in short tests and with small sample sizes.
