다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate how art therapy proceeds in the mourning process of high school students who experienced bereavement with their parents, and to examine the response work of art therapists. The client is a second-year high school male student attending a high school in Seoul and was referred to 00 institutions for loss due to consecutive bereavement of parents, and 12 sessions of art therapy were performed. The research data used the oral record, the client’s work, the journal, the researcher’s response work, the report of the institution manager, the mourning theory and related literature. As a result, first, it provided time to safely express the memory and emotions of the deceased and deal with the loss caused by bereavement to the client who was in a state of blankness and emotional expression. Second, through art therapy work, the client discovered the meaning of “Loss”, “Separation”, “Longing”, “Ambivalence”, “Confidence”, “Acceptance” and “Art”. Third, during the client's mourning process, the art therapist was able to help the client navigate his life by visualizing the ability to endure and capture the feelings of loss for sensitive care while dealing with the transfer process through reaction work. This study is meaningful in that art therapy allowed adolescents who suffered loss due to bereavement to re-recognize and accept reality emotionally, and that art work contributed to the establishment of a therapeutic relationship in mourning counseling for therapists who shared a difficult process.
