| Sumario: | AbstractThis case study examined the culturally responsive practices of an art therapist working with women experiencing domestic violence within a Han Chinese cultural context in Taiwan. Confucian traditions significantly influence the cultural identity of this majority population. The participant, a Taiwanese art therapist residing in Taiwan, reflected on her clinical experiences through two unstructured, in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis revealed three interrelated cultural themes related to patriarchal values and traditional gender expectations, as well as four culturally relevant therapeutic themes. The findings underscore the importance for art therapists to move beyond superficial adjustments and actively engage with clients’ sociocultural realities, while maintaining ongoing critical self-reflexivity in their practice.
