미술치료사의 슈퍼비전 및 피어비전 경험 탐구: 전문성 향상에 관한 질적 연구 = Art Therapists’ Experiences of Supervision and Peer-Vision: A Qualitative Inquiry into Professional Development

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study explores art therapists’ experiences of supervision and peer-vision to identify their practical needs and propose directions for effective implementation in clinical practice. Focus group interviews were conducted with seven art therapists with over five years of clinical experience, and the data were analyzed qualitatively. The analysis revealed five themes related to supervision—delaying supervision until difficulties arise, financial burdens, empowerment through supervision, distrust and disappointment, and increased dependency—and three themes related to peer-vision—relieving challenges through communication with colleagues, hesitancy to disclose personal limitations, and deepening professional understanding of peer-vision. These findings illustrate the constraints and emotional dynamics art therapists encounter in supervisory contexts and highlight the need for strategies such as reducing financial barriers, institutional support for group supervision, broader recognition of peer-vision, and strengthening supervisory competence. By drawing on practitioners’ lived experiences, this study offers meaningful insights into creating supportive institutional and relational environments for supervision and peer-vision in art therapy.
