초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of online group art therapy focused on sexuality awareness for adult women, specifically exploring changes in their gender sensitivity and self-esteem. The participants consisted of eight female undergraduate and graduate students from S University. They took part in an online group art therapy program focused on sexuality awareness, which was conducted twice a week for a total of eight sessions (16 hours). The online group art therapy program on sexuality awareness included drawing a sexual map, exploring gender role stereotypes, creating sexual image collages, body scanning artwork, and art exercises addressing shadows and personas in relationships. Each session followed a structured format: introduction, main art activity, and sharing time. Qualitative analysis was conducted using session observation records and participants' artworks to examine changes in participants' gender sensitivity and self-esteem. Additionally, pre- and post-program scores on relevant scales were compared, and self-portraits, tree drawings, and the PDI(Post Drawing Inquiry) contents were analyzed. The results of the study indicated that there were changes in gender sensitivity and self-esteem among adult women through the online group art therapy focused on sexuality awareness. All participants reported significant changes in their overall sexual awareness after participating in the program. Therefore, this study highlights the positive changes in gender sensitivity and self-esteem among adult women through the online group art therapy program focused on sexuality awareness. It also confirms the applicability of group art therapy in providing opportunities to enhance sexuality awareness in adult women, making it a valuable approach.
