Abstract
|
|
|
|
This paper aims to examine several symbols thereof, and to study of artistic activities. And they are resulted from observing how a teenager with kleptomania impulse expresses his emotions during art therapy sessions. A Year-3 junior high student suffering from kleptomania participated in the research at his mother’s request. The student went through weekly 40-minute art psychotherapy sessions at the child development center and the sessions were held a total of 83 times, from October 14th of 2011 to September 26th of 2013. The produced art works were analyzed based on the Jungian view of Furth’s(2002). The results are as follows. Through artistic activities, the participant was able to freely express his unconscious emotions, to strengthen his expression of fears, tension, and previously depressed emotions, and to succeed in conducting impulse and self control. Said student experienced a series of recession, dark, reception, and adaptation periods during the artistic activities, and later reached a process of symbolization where he was able to express his inner deficiency, voluntary remedy, consolation and hope, and saw a formation of a new psyche. Through artistic activities, the participant succeeded in self-healing by curing his kleptomaniac disorder and game addiction, improving peer relations, dreaming a new vision for his future, and finding his inner stability.
