Abstract

|
This thesis investigated the cognitive functions of images which is newly attracting attention these days, focused on collage interview analysis. For theoretical discussion on which cognitive functions images can have, existing studies on aesthetics, psychology of art, and the recently emerging art-based research or image-based research were examined. Then, to look into the specific appearances of these cognitive functions in art therapy, collage art therapy cases were analyzed and the relations of the cognitive functions of images with the therapeutic effects of art were explored. The findings from this thesis are as follows: Firstly, images could be used to facilitate expressions. Secondly, images could be used to evoke and reconstruct dialogues. Thirdly, images make people pay attention to things in new ways. Fourthly, the function of activation could be performed through images. Finally, images could enhance empathetic understanding. Discussion on the cognitive functions of images in art therapy will greatly contribute to the reinforcement of the academic identity of art therapy by providing the theoretical basis for more persuasive arguments about the therapeutic effects of art and also by presenting the therapeutic aspects of art therapy that are differentiated from psychotherapy.
