The purposes of this study are to analyze the clay medium in domestic precedent studies whose subject is children with insecure attachment and interaction between mother and child and suggest the art therapy program focused on clay medium for improving interaction between mother and child with insecure attachment based on it. To achieve it, the following problems of study were set.
The first, how does clay be applied in precedent studies on art therapy program for children with insecure attachment and interaction between mother and child.
The second, how does art therapy program focused on clay medium be developed for improving interaction between mother and child with insecure attachment?
Therefore, this study selected 50 masterㆍdoctoral theses on children with insecure attachment and interaction between mother and child among the art therapy studies from 2002 to 2012, including the clay session. And, for it, clay's treating goal, activity contents and kinds were divided and the general utilization of treating effects of clay were analyzed.
The results of this study are as follows. The session using clay was 25% of the whole 218 times and it showed that lots of utilization was not achieved in comparison with clay's effectiveness. In the result of analyzing treating goal, there were the most session using clay under the goal of improving interaction. And, exploration and interest inducement were used at the early stage, emotional stability was used at the middle stage, improvement of interaction was used so many times as the goal of the latter stage. In the analysis of activity subject, molding activity showed lots of distribution and then, free expression and clay formative activity were in order. For the kinds of clay which was used the mostly, clay, paper clay and dough were in order. Through it, there were the most studies applying clay under the goal of improving interaction between mother and child in precedent studies whose subject is children with insecure attachment and interaction between mother and child. Also, clay and medium which were used were biased.
Next, treatment effects by applying each clay were examined. Clay was utilized as its own characteristics and for the characteristics, there were familiarity, excellent adhesion and white, observation of changes and concentration by working process, clear color and soft/light touch, various touches by particle, etc. It showed several treatment effects such as emotional expression, tension relief, positive ego-state forming, etc. and among them, lots of treatment factor of interaction improvement was included.
This researcher suggested art therapy program of improving interaction between mother and child with insecure attachment based on the results of analysis. This program was planned under the theoretical foundation of Bowlby's attachment development stage so that children with insecure attachment can reexperience attachment development stage and improve interaction between mother and child. For the whole organization is 16 times. The early goal was exploration, the middle goal was response and emotional stability and the latter goal was positive relationship forming so as to improve interaction finally.
It is significant for grasping utilization of clay, developing the art therapy program between mother and child focused on clay and provide universal and systematic art therapy program which can be used to improve interaction between mother and child with insecure attachment. In the future, this study should be applied to following studies on art therapy focused on clay medium for children with secure attachment continuously.
