Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate how an adult woman who has psychological behavioral problems such as anxiety, depression, drug attempts, and suicide, who has been raised by an alcoholic mother and experienced attachment trauma, solves her life through art therapy and how she recovers from these issues in adulthood. For this review, as a method to deeply understand and explore the life of the participant, the researcher used the narrative inquiry method proposed by Clandinin and Connelly (2000), and art therapy was conducted three times a week for about three months from June to September 2016. The study analyzed all fo the art works, discourses, and observation records in the art therapy process based on the collected records, and composed the experience stories of 'What is a family,' 'Children's time with a drunk mother,' 'I seem useless,' 'Maybe I can be a good person.' Based on this, the meaning of experience was derived as a recovery stage of trauma treatment process, as suggested by Herman (1997), and the meaning was explored on the theme of 'experience safe and comfortable environment through healing relationship,' 'depict and encourage my life in my work,' and 'understand and accept me and think about the future.' Therefore, it is concluded that the participant of trauma experience could understand deeply how she recovers and heals herself, and uses this technique to lead to a new life through art therapy.
