Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study is to provide an opportunity for meaningful contact with the researcher who is currently an art therapist by drawing an image on own, and the art healing provided by the change in the image of ‘self’ and ‘object’ in the relationship between objects represented by images.
to experience the process. This study, using narrative inquiry method, was worked freely with the image themes including psychological mechanism in the object relation theory. According to the development process of object relationship, 'self-representation', 'object representation', the total eight paintings consisting of ‘myself as a fetus’, ‘mother and daughter image’, ‘transitional object for me’, and ‘homeostasis of object’, etc., and warm experiential therapy with self-consolation and trust were composed into an autobiographical narrative. Also, in order to explore psychological mechanism changing ‘myself’ and ‘objects’, it was compared and investigated with the work by the researcher who studied the object relation theory 7 years ago.
This has become a process of art healing by allowing the changed 'self' and 'object' to interact. And in the relationship with the object, the internalization process was autonomously synchronized. This study has its meaning as an autobiographical exploration journey of an art therapist who has experienced the art healing process.
