This study is to investigate whether group art therapy adopting
self-reflection helps improve psychological well-being. The group therapy
consisted of 15 sessions focusing on their self-reflection. This program was
carried out once a week from May, 27 to September, 9, 2016. Participants
voluntarily applied for the program in the Internet PR. They were arranged
into 2 groups(10 people in each group) at random. One group is experiment
and the other is the control group. Mann-Whitney U test was employed for
the analysis of pre-test scores, the comparison of self-reflection scales, and
psychological well-being scales. For the post-test scores comparison,
Wilcoxon's singed rank test was used. The participants' reports were also
qualitatively analyzed in order to examine what changes they experienced in
terms of self-reflection and psychological well-being during the program. The
experimental group showed significant improvement in both self-reflection and
psychological well-being whereas the control group did not show any
significant change. In conclusion, it can be said that this group art therapy
program contributed to improving self-reflection and psychological well-being
of the participants.
