Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study was designed to develop and measure the effects of a bi-directional play art therapy program for parents as a form of education.
Methods: To develop the program||| the researchers conducted two preliminary studies||| which were then revised and supplemented. The participants in the study were seven mothers and their seven children||| who presented with maladjustment behaviors. They formed the experiment group and control group||| respectively.
Results: The play art therapy program for parents had a positive effect on the children’s maladjusted behaviors. The results also showed that the program reduced parents’ stress related to child rearing. Expressions of affection among the mothers in the study also increased||| following their participation in the program.
Conclusions: Parents’ reluctance to consider counseling in the form of a parent education program can decrease as new types of programs become more popular. The therapists conclude that families should be engaged in their homes||| and family therapy should be offered in conjunction with programs like the one in this study.
