A Study on Animal Symbol system based on Lacan’s Symbol system interpretation methodology - On case of Figure Therapy with Adolescent Client -
The purpose of this study is to investigate how to interpret animal symbol system among several symbol systems of figure therapy that require interpretation. As fundamental theories about Figure Therapy suggest, a client's unconsciousness is affected by his or her family. That humans are social animals means they are language-using animals. Human beings live in existing language system. That is, the perception of past trauma is not static, but changeable because it is determined by the present. In this regard, this paper attempts to present a symbol-interpretation method using Lacan's symbol system theory as a methodology to interpret animal symbol system that symbolize family trauma. His understanding of symbol includes linguistic unconsciousness, namely the social aspect of unconsciousness and also provides foundation to the diversity and variation of symbolic meaning through anchoring points theory. This study will contribute to using animal symbol in Figure Therapy by enabling more various, comprehensive interpretation.
