The purpose of this study is to confirm empirical perceptions of art therapists about language use in art therapy using Concept Mapping Method. For this, the study pursued the following three research questions: what are the contents?; what are the dimensions and clusters?; and what is the importance of contents? Incorporating concept mapping as a research method, this research was conducted by the following research procedure. Twelve art therapists were selected as research participants who were interviewed individually through specified questions. From the analysis of interview statements, 60 key sentences were derived. Then they were later categorized based on the semantic similarity among statements and the importance of contents was assessed for each sentence. According to the results of multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis, the key sentences were divided into two axis and six clusters according to semantic similarity, and the two axis are 'client-therapist' and 'therapeutic effect/insight and recognition - treatment process/work production.' and six clusters are 'Perception and insight', 'Artwork exploration', 'Therapist’s competence', 'Clients as treatment subjects', 'Promotion of artwork production', and 'Language use level and scope'. As a result, the art therapists combined the art production and language in the overall process of the therapy session, and perceived its utility and limitations. This study has its significance in that the usage aspect and meaning of the language used in art therapy was explored by empirically confirming the perception of art therapists regarding the language used in art therapy.
