본 연구는 중장년부모와 미혼성인자녀로 구성된 가족에게 Satir 경험적 가족미술치료를 적용하여, 정서표현과 의사소통 개선의 효과성을 검증하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구 대상은 A시에 소재한 S심리상담센터에 상담 의뢰를 한 중장년부모와 미혼성인자녀로 구성된 4명의 가족으로, 2014년 8월부터 2015년 3월에 걸쳐 상담실에서 주 1회, 회기 당 60~90분씩 총 25회기의 Satir 경험적 가족미술치료를 실시하였다. 평가 척도는 정서표현 양가성 척도(AEQ-K)와 Satir 의사소통 유형검사(SCTS)를 사전․사후에 실시하여 비교분석하였다. 또한, 회기별 정서표현과 의사소통 및 행동 변화과정 등을 알아보기 위해 질적 분석을 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, Satir 경험적 가족미술치료가 중장년부모-미혼성인자녀 가족의 정서표현을 향상시키는 데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, Satir 경험적 가족미술치료가 중장년부모-미혼성인자녀 가족의 의사소통 개선에 긍정적인 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 Satir 경험적 가족미술치료가 중장년부모-미혼성인자녀 가족을 대상으로 하여 정서표현과 의사소통 개선의 효과성에 대한 근거를 제시하였으며, 심리치료 현장에서의 활용가능성 및 경험적 사례 연구 자료를 제공했다는데 의의를 둔다.
This study examined the effects of Satir experiential family art therapy on the emotional expression and the communication in a family. The subjects of the study were a family of four, composed of elderly parents and two premarital adult children who sought counseling at the S Psychology Counseling Center in A city. The researcher conducted a Satir experiential family art therapy session, once a week, for 60-90 minutes per session, from August 2014 to March 2015, for a total of 25 sessions. To verify the effects of the therapy, data were collected through the Ambivalence over Emotion Expression Questionnaire(AEQ-K) and the Satir communication type scale(SCTS) in pre-and post-test. Also, to investigate the emotional expression, communication, and behavior change process, this research conducted qualitative analysis of each session. The results of this study indicate that Satir experiential family art therapy has a positive effect on the emotional expression and the communication within a family comprised of elderly parents and -premarital adult children. Based on these results, this research has significance in suggesting the effectiveness of Satir experiential family art therapy. The results may also find applicability in the psychotherapy field and empirical case research if the study is to be repeated with a larger sample.
