The purpose of this study is to propose the necessity of a domestic independent model that reflects Korea s unique sentiment. To this end, I first looked at the cultural differences between East and West. Next, we looked at the research trends of dramatherapy in Korea, focusing on published books, and through this, it was confirmed that Park s “emotional model” is the only model currently available in Korea.
The significance of the “emotional model” is that it actively accepted and utilized advanced theatrical treatment methodology from foreign countries based on a broad understanding of theater, philosophy, and psychology. In addition, it is that emotions that have not been recognized and used in detail in the theater therapy methodology have been put to the fore and used them as tools. In this process, she categorized emotions as Sadan Chiljung of Mengza and mentioned the unique culture of the East, Ki.
This means that the “emotional model” is developed as a domestic independent model and has undergone consideration of Korea’s unique culture, emotions, and oriental characteristics. However, it is true that her research also occupies a very small portion of the oriental context. Therefore, it is necessary to study Korean theatrical elements, rituals, mask dances, pansori, etc., as well as the unique emotions of heung , sinmyeong and han .
Currently, many researchers and therapists in Korea are striving to expand and deepen dramatherapy. However, the expansion and utilization of the emotional model , a model that has already been developed, is very disappointing. It is judged that follow-up research is very important for the spread of Korea s own model development.
Through this study, it is expected that in the future, many researchers and therapists will recognize the necessity of developing an independent model that reflects Korea s unique emotions and strive to develop a methodology.
