The purpose of this study was to analyze how art therapy using tactile media affects tick-symptom children’s tick responses and self-esteem. For this purpose, the researcher sampled three elementary lower-grade boys who had been referred to ‘Y’ Psychology Center located in ‘G’ city of Chollabuk-do due to their eye-blinking causing difficulties in their human relationships and school life. The researcher conducted the test across 24 sessions; each session lasted for 40 minutes, and the test was conducted twice per week. In order to verify how the art therapy using the tactile media on affected subjects’ tick responses and self-esteem, the Korean versions of the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and Rosenberg s (1965) Self-Esteem Scale (SES) translated by Jeon Byeong Je (1974) were used. The subjects were tested before and after the therapy sessions and again later. The scores were then comparatively analyzed. Additionally, the kinetic house-tree-person (K-HTP) was used before and after the therapy to allow for a qualitative analysis. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, the art therapy using the tactile media had a positive effect, decreasing the subjects’ tick responses. Second, the art therapy using the tactile media had a positive effect on subjects’ self-esteem. In conclusion, the results suggest that it would be possible to organize the media-wise therapeutic factors by using wet, atypical and dry media to operate a systematic program to decrease tick-symptom children’s tick responses and enhance their self-esteem. Based on these results, the implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
