This study aims to study in depth to the art therapists’ difficulty experienced in their art therapy practice using phenomenology study. The researchers then conducted an in-depth clinical interviews with 6 art therapist who worked for three to five years to collect data and analyzed them through a phenomenological approach developed by Giorgi and derived the results. According to the results, art therapists’ difficulty experienced in their art therapy practice were categorized into a total of 5 themes including 'systematic factor what causes occupational difficulties', 'individual factor what causes occupational difficulties', 'efforts for endure the occupational difficulties', 'growth experience through endure the occupational difficulties', 'expectation matter for solve the occupational difficulties' and 14 categories were derived. These results showed that an art therapist grow as a not only mature human but also art therapist through overcome the difficulty experienced in their art therapy practice. In addition, occupational difficulties is thought that it will act as a catalyst to accelerate the development of 'self' as an individual and 'art therapist' as a professional. This study can be used as a basic data that peer art therapists and next generation art therapists improve occupational difficulties in their art therapy clinical field. In addition, I hope that art therapists are supported as professional workers and protected institutionally so the art therapy field will be further developed in the future.
