• 영문초록 : This paper presents a case study designed to improve the mental health of a divorced woman head of a household by applying Mandala art therapy based on psychological analysis. The subject was a middle-aged woman head of a household aged 47. She was raising two children by herself after two divorces. The program consisted of total 22 sessions of Mandala art therapy from May 6 to October 14, 2009. Employed in the study were “Multidimensional Self-Report Symptom Inventory” developed by Derogatis et al.(1977) and the “Symptom Checklist- 90-Revision” re-standardized by Kim Gwang-il and Kim Jae-hwan(1984) to fit the situations of Korea. The client's paintings were recorded and analyzed in terms of the symbols of shapes, colors, and numbers and changes to her feelings each session in order to understand her psychological changes. The research findings were as follows: First, the SCL-90-R results reveal that the client's Global Severity Index(GSI) was light in the pre-test, became a little bit worse in the middle-test, and improved to the normal level in the post-test. Her GSI maintained in the normal level in the follow-up test. While no big differences were observed in her Positive Symptom Total(PST), her Positive Symptom Distress Index(PSDI) went through changes from severe in the post-test, worse in the middle-test, to normal in the post-test and follow-up test. And secondly, the analysis results of her Mandala paintings and symbols show that she had more positive changes toward the end. Thanks to the individuation process during the program, she experienced her true self. As her self-esteem recovered, the contents began to show her psychological stability and indicated that she became capable of realizing her problems and adapting to reality. The results prove that Mandala art therapy based on psychological analysis has positive effects on improving the mental health of a divorced woman head of a household.

오늘날의 급격한 사회변화는 가족의 영역에도 영향을 미쳐 가족 구조에 있어서도 다양한 변화가 이루어지고 있고, 가족해체의 원인이 되기도 한다. 특히 이혼은 당사자들에게 많은 어려움을 겪게 할 뿐만 아니라 가족의 기능상실과 자녀들에게도 커다란 충격이 되는 사건임에도 불구하고 전 세계적으로 증가추세에 있다(유옥, 2006). 우리나라의 이혼 수는 1997년 9만 1천 2백건에서 2003년 경제위기를 겪으면서 16만 7천 6백건으로 급증하였고, 2007년에는 12만 4천 6백건으로 줄었으나, 여전히 높은 이혼율을 보이고 있다(통계청, 2008).
