The objective of this study is to determine the difficulties that novice art therapists experience and the competencies necessary to overcome these difficulties. In this regard, the data was gathered by conducting the study in the form of Focus Group Interview with eight participants, who were corresponding to novice art therapists. As a result of conducting the inductive thematic analysis on the collected data by using the open coding, four themes were reasoned out regarding the difficulties experienced by novice art therapists, including ‘confusion and fear of art therapy’, ‘difficulties in solving problems for clients’, ‘difficulties due to the therapist’s limitation’, and ‘difficulties in low social recognition of art therapy’, and moreover, 11 categories and 28 concepts were discovered. Meanwhile, the competencies necessary for novice art therapists involved three themes, such as ‘knowledge competencies’, ‘skill competencies’, and ‘attitude competencies’, as well as seven categories and 19 concepts. This study has a significance in that the detailed investigation into difficulties and necessary competencies for novice art therapists was proposed, and it is expected to be an empirical basis for the systematic education and development of training process to improve the difficulties of novice art therapists.
