This study was to investigate the effects of the art therapy program, on a woman suffering from maladjustment schema and self-destructive behavior due to BPD, which was based on the Theory of BPD Psychological Schema developed by Dr. Jeffrey Young. The subject of this study is a 19-year-old female diagnosed as BPD at a hospital in Seoul. This art therapy was conducted with a total of 33 sessions of an 120-150 minute session per each, 2?3 times a week from Jan 2 to April 25, 2015. To do so, the questionnaires of maladjustment schema, Measures of Self-murder measure and Suicide Impulse were applied as the pre-, post- and follow-up tests, and changes and symbols at each session of treatment were quantitatively analyzed. The results of this study are as follows: First, this therapy had a positive impact on the relaxation of maladjustment schema in a lady with BPD. Second, this therapy also had a positive effect on the alleviation of self-destructive behavior in this lady with BPD. Third, this therapy positively helped to relieve the maladjustment schema and self-destructive behavior of her in view of the results of observing the degree of change and symbols during a course of treatment. The results of this study could indicate that this art therapy based on Young’s Theory of BPD Psychological Schema had a positive effect on the mitigation of maladjustment schema and self-destructive behavior of a woman suffering from BPD.
