"This study examined the effects of a Person-Centered Expressive Art Therapy program on immigrant wives' self-esteem, coping mechanism, and expression of their emotions and thoughts. The participants of the study were 5 Japanese, 1 Joseonjok(ethnic Koreans in China), and 1 Vietnamese immigrant wife, all of them living in Yeongcheon, an urban-rural complex area in Kyongbook Province. They were given a total of 12 sessions of a Person-Centered Expressive Art Therapy program, one session a week, each session three hours long. A pre and post test for the single group were conducted. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was computed on their self-esteem, coping mechanism, expression of their emotions and thoughts to measure the effects of the program. In addition, the researcher's observation and records of each session were analyzed to supplement the statistical results in explaining change in their attitudes. The results of the study suggest that the program helped immigrant wives express their repressed feelings and speak their minds, thus raising their self-esteem and coping mechanism. The significance of this study is that it has provided empirical evidence of effects of Person-Centered Expressive Art Therapy in improving immigrant wives' self-esteem, coping mechanism and the expression of their emotions and thoughts. However, this study has limits for the findings to be generalized in that only an experimental group was observed without a control group and there was no follow-up study.
