In this paper, I investigated housewives' stress and coping strategy and tried to find the kinds of changes in their stress level and in coping strategy through Poetry Therapy. Especially, it attempted to understand housewives' stress and copying strategy and verify the effect of this program as a device of helping amicable adoption for the various stress which they experience. In this study there're two groups. The members of the group were selected randomly from one church in Busan. One is an experimental group consisting of 8 housewives and the other is a control group consisting of the same number of the members. Before and after the implementation of the program the housewaves' everyday life stress and coping style were observed in order to verify the effect of Poetry Therapy. I confirmed the difference between the changes of the experimental group and those of the control group. For statistical analysis I used SPSS computer program called t-test to examine the effects. To sum up, the following is the conclusions of this study. First, Poetry Therapy has a positive effect on relieving psychological stress of housewives. Second, Poetry Therapy can improve the overall coping strategies for the housewives' stress. Third, it is efficient in the passive coping strategy. In the conclusion, accurate and various measurements as well as evaluation of Poetry Therapy effects should be accomplished to make it the effective treatment strategy for a variety of subjects. Furthermore, the development of the program is demanded considering characteristics of the Poetry Therapy media, because the subjects might experience the Poetry Therapy in different ways according to thecharacteristics of the media. Thus, I expect that the development of the Poetry Therapy program which considers the characteristics of the subjects and the media could make a more efficient Poetry Therapy possible.
