Objectives:Among the various schizophrenic symptoms, negative symptoms are particularly disabling as the disorder continues with time. This study aims to evaluate the effect of clinical art therapy on negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Methods:Twenty patients, 10 in a case group and 10 in a control group, admitted to Severance mental health hospital diagnosed with schizophrenia participated in this study. Case group participated in an 18-session clinical art therapy program. Patients’ symptoms were evaluated with Positive And Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) before and after the program. Anhedonia, one of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, was evaluated using an anhedonia rating scale. Qualitative analysis of Landscape Montage Technique (LMT) drawn by patients at session 1 and session 18 was done to compare the change of drawing contents. Participation rate and attitude were also evaluated. Results:There was no statistical significance in total negative subscale score change (p=0.063). However, among seven negative symptom subscales, blunted affect (p=0.028) and poor rapport (p=0.028) showed a statistically significant difference. Anhedonia rating scale also showed significant difference (p=0.036) where physical subscale was significantly different (p=0.048) but social anhedonia was not (p=0.115). Comparison of LMT before and after the program showed positive change in colors, space, and content. Participation attitude and sociability also improved. Conclusion:Clinical art therapy may help patients with schizophrenia in improvement of negative symptoms. (Journal of The Korean Academy of Clinical Art Therapy 2008;3(2):89-94)

미술치료는 미술이라는 도구를 통해서 환자의 심신을 안정시키고 긍정적인 에너지를 능동적으로 다시 담아내는 통합의학의 한 분야로서 국내외적으로 점차 그 중요성이 부각되고 있습니다. 통합의학으로서 미술치료가 의의를 갖기 위해서는 가장 중요한 것은 치료전문가간의 유기적인 협력입니다. 진료현장에서 의료인과 더불어 치료에 참여하고 나누어 이를 바탕으로 연구 발전시켜 나갈때에 진정으로 환자에게 도움을 줄 수 있다는 것이 저희의 신념입니다. 이러한 신념을 담고 실천하기 위하여 본 학회를 창립하게 되었습니다.
