Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study is to identify research areas and details of art therapy conducted in Canada through co-word analysis. The included literature were 195 papers published between 1985 and 2019 in the Canadian Art Therapy Association Journal from the Canadian Art Therapy Association (CATA/ACAT). The collected papers were analyzed with SEMI, COOC, WNET, and NodeXL programs. Co-word analysis was used to compute similarity values between words based on individual and simultaneous appearance frequencies of 117 words that appeared at least twice in titles of the literature. Co-word analysis visualizes networks of connection patterns between words. As a result, the knowledge structure of Canadian art therapy was classified into “child art therapy,” “adolescent art therapy,” “adult art therapy,” “elderly art therapy,” “art therapy theory,” “expressive arts therapy,” “projective drawing test,” “image and interpretation,” and “professionalism of art therapists.” The results show that the knowledge accumulated regarding art therapy in Canada consists of four factors (client, creative process, artwork, and therapist) and their effects. The significance of this research is that it established an academic structure of art therapy through informetrics. The knowledge structure of art therapy accumulated in Korea, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Canada was compared and the implications for domestic research were discussed.
