Abstract

|
The purpose of this study is to find out how the experience of an art therapist affects, who encountered Gogh's masterpieces in the art therapy activity. In this study, we use the narrative exploration of Clandinin and Connelly (2000) as a qualitative research method. By employing the narrative exploration, we analyze the happiness in the researcher’s life cycle and then subdivide it into representative, dominant, and core feelings. This study also entails the growth process of the researcher in the art therapy activity, which is based on Gogh’s work closely related to the core feeling. The experiences of the art therapist consist of ‘loud noise’, ‘the fall of the haves’, ‘late learner’, ‘going into teaching’. The implications based on the art therapist’s experience are categorized into four types: ‘psychological disorder caused by violence from other people’, ‘satisfaction from self-achievement’, ‘psychological disorder caused by self-violence’, ‘longing for pleasure of self-existence’. The experience narrative plays an important role in solving psychological problems and facing the inner child based on self-treatment. In this light, these findings provide precious insight into the narrative data for the art therapists under similar conditions.
