불안정 애착으로 분리불안을 겪고 있는 아동을 위한 애착이론기반 모자미술치료 사례연구 = A Case Study on Mother-Child Art Therapy Based on Attachment Theory for Children with Separation Anxiety Due to Insecure Attachment

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This case study explores the effects of mother-child art therapy, based on attachment theory, on a six-year-old child experiencing separation anxiety, school refusal, and sleep terror disorder. Conducted over 13 sessions, the therapy aimed to rebuild the child’s attachment representation and foster a secure bond with the mother in a supportive environment. Assessment methods included the Landscape Montage Technique (LMT), Kinetic Family Drawing using Animal Figurines, and session-based counseling reports. Observations showed that the therapy effectively reduced school refusal and sleep terrors while improving the quality of the mother-child attachment. The therapist provided a safe space for emotional exploration, enhancing the child’s sense of security. The findings indicate that mother-child art therapy can alleviate separation anxiety symptoms, promote emotional regulation, and strengthen attachment bonds, demonstrating its potential as an effective intervention.
