This study attempted to find how group art psychotherapy, based on the Psychocybernetic model by Nucho(2003), affects anxiety and self-esteem for foreign workers in Korea. 19 foreign workers who were attending the center for multi-cultural families located in the Gyeonggi Province participated in the study. 10 of them were assigned to the Experimental Group(EG) and 9 of them were assigned to the Control Group(CG). EG was provided with 12 weeks of group art psychotherapy based on the Psychocybernetic model once a week. CG was not provided with any interventions. EG and CG were both evaluated by the State-Trait Anxiety scale form Y(STAI-Y) and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale(RSES) before and after the group art psychotherapy intervention. The results indicated that EG showed a significant reduction in State anxiety(STAI-1) scores, and a significant increase in Self-esteem scores. However, there was no significant change in Trait anxiety(STAI-2) scores. CG showed no meaningful change in State anxiety, Trait anxiety, and Self-esteem scores.
