Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of group art therapy on depression and anger in middle-aged women. Six middle-aged women with high psychological depression and difficulty in controlling their anger in social and family life were selected as the subjects of the study. Group art therapy was conducted once a week for 60 minutes 20 times, and the effectiveness verification was pre- and post-analysis with a depression diagnosis scale (BDI) and a state-characteristic anger scale (STAXK-K). Looking at the results of the study, first, as a result of conducting a depression diagnosis scale (BDI) to find out changes in depression in middle-aged women, it was effective in reducing depression scores and psychological changes. Second, as a result of confirming the results of middle-aged women's anger with a state-characteristic anger scale (STAXK-K), it was found that middle-aged women's anger decreased and was stable. Therefore, this study proposes to develop self-esteem and anger control programs, including family counseling, to continuously control pathological depression and anger caused by situational and environmental factors in middle-aged women.
