Purpose: Using a qualitative case study method, this study examined how undergraduates with insecure attachment type are changed thorough a psychodrama program and explored a growth mechanism found in the participation in psychodrama by analyzing subjective meanings and change patterns of the experiences.
Methods: A total of 17 college students with insecure attachment type participated in in-depth interviews.
Results: The change can be categorized into four patterns: ⓛ change from `negative self-representation` to `positive self-representation` in terms of recognition of themselves; ② change from `negative other-representation` to `positive other-representation` in recognition of others; ③ change from `low emotional intelligence` to `high emotional intelligence`; and ④ change from `closed/avoidant relationship` to `open/intimate relationship` regarding personal relationships with others.
Conclusion: The growth mechanism observed in the insecure attachment college students indicated that the participants` psychological well-being was achieved by group dynamics, interrelationship within the group, emotional purification and fulfillment of their own desires, and new perception, understanding of themselves and others, vitality, and extension of the selves.
