This paper aims to suggest some implications which psychoanalysis gives to art therapy after looking into the classical-contemporary psychoanalytic paradigm as a preceding task in order to systemize and specialize a theory of art therapy and establish psychoanalytic art therapy. To begin with, this paper shows that the S. Freud's classical psychoanalysis can provide the psychoanalytic art therapy with a framework of wider and deeper understanding on analysts and analysands and more open perspective on the goal of psychoanalysis, and also suggests that an art therapist should be aware of the significance of such major concepts as transference, projection, and repetition and make a continued effort to study. Next, it can be concluded that contemporary psychoanalysis could present various goals and the art therapists' roles about psychoanalytic paradigm(e.g. Ego Psychology, Object Relations Theories, Self Psychology, and Contemporary Freudian Revisionists). Also it could expand the range of analysand, art and analyst through dialectical tripartite processes, sharing some traits with the vector of postmodernism in art therapeutic field. Finally, by analyzing and putting together two findings above mentioned, I can say that this study on classical-contemporary psychoanalytic paradigm proves to be meaningful but remain unsolved yet. An art therapist should fully understand the dynamic focus as well as the art and the therapy, select a theory and a methodology that match his or her own life and values, and keep pace with a variety of many themes that encompass contemporary cultural backgrounds.
