This study will shed a light on Psychoanalytic Art Therapy based on Jacques Lacan's theory. The research
methodology is a method of psychoanalysis, which Freud straightened out into a method of investigation of
a particular subject, a psychotherapeutic method, a group of psychological and psychopathological theories.
This study is not only qualitative research but also exploratory research. It draws a conclusion that: Firstly,
Lacan's subject investigation of Psychoanalytic Art Therapy is to explain the 3 constituents and fundamental
concepts of Psychoanalytic Art Therapy: the subject, the art as object a, and the analyst. Lacan's fundamental
concepts of Psychoanalytic Art Therapy explicates the unconscious and drive of the subject, the repetition
and projection of the subject through the art, and the desire and transference of the subject towards the
analyst. Secondly, Lacan's method of Psychoanalytic Art Therapy is to describe the 2 principles and
processes of Psychoanalytic Art Therapy, the 7 techniques of Psychoanalytic Art Therapy possible to apply.
The subject can experience two psychotherapeutic procedures that are the process of projection through the
art, and transference towards the analyst. While the projection of the subject through art is a process for
the subject to discover him/herself in the dual relation of the imaginary of the subject and the art, the
transference of the subject towards the analyst a process of the triple relation of the symbolic of the subject,
the art and the analyst. Thirdly, Lacan's Psychoanalytic Art Therapy plays a major role in the ethics of life
that can help the subject to make self-discovery and self-realization, identify with the symptom, and by
extension, keep enduring the act and will towards desire. Therefore, the meaning of Lacan's subject
investigation and method of Psychoanalytic Art Therapy proves that it is an independent and singular
theory having accumulated its own system.
