The purpose of this study is to investigate if and how an art therapy program for the dyad of mother and daughter can be helpful to change the mother's attitude of raising the child, so as to reduce the daughter's anxiety caused by the mother. Study subjects are Setbyulyee (a fictitious name), an elementary school child in the fifth grade, and her mother, both of whom received total 23 sessions of art therapy from April 13 to July 21, 2006, with one session-two session a week and each meeting lasting 4 hours. Research tools used for the child are PSCD, and pre-, post- and following-tests for Anxiety scale in order to analyze the child's perceptions as to her school life and family as well as changes of the child's anxiety level; on the other hand, the mother was given a scale of parenting attitude together with pre-, post- and following-tests for KFD to check the mother's attitude and psychological condition regarding the child's education.
The results obtained from the study and discussion of it are as follows.
First, art therapy for mother-daughter dyad proves to be effective for parenting attitude changes, in the sense that the therapy has improved the mother's level of kind-feeling and acceptance on her parenting attitude while it has reduced her attitude or behavior of disapproval and punishment. This indicates that the mother realized during the art therapy her parenting attitude ineffective, and changed her attitude to become more lenient and acceptive.
Second, the mother-daughter dyadic art therapy helps to reduce the child's anxiety to the extent that during the therapy the child could hold of her anxiety and become relaxed and stable to express her repressed feelings, which itself reduces the level of the child anxiety.
Third, art therapy of mother-daughter dyad gives the dyad a change in their relationship in a way that the mother found her parenting attitude not working, then changed and improved on it; and in the meantime, the daughter reciprocated the mother's change with her own positive behavioral changes to end up with recovery of their good mother-daughter relationship.
Accordingly, this study would claim that an art therapy program for mother-daughter dyad can be very effective to improve the mother's parenting attitude and as a consequence to alleviate the child's anxiety, and might be useful for psychotherapy on children with anxiety.

본 연구의 목적은 모녀미술치료가 모의 양육태도 변화와 아동의 불안 감소에 미치는 영향과 미술치료과정에 따른 모녀관계의 변화에 대해 규명해 보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 초등학교 5학년인 샛별이(가명)와 모를 대상으로 2006년 4월13일부터 7월21일까지 주1회-2회 4시간 총23회기 실시하였다. 연구방법으로 아동에게는 학교생활화, 동그라미 중심 가족화(PSCD), 불안검사를 사전․사후․추후에 실시하여 가족에 대한 지각과 불안수준의 변화 상태를 분석하였으며, 모에게는 양육태도 검사, 동적 가족화를 사전․사후․추후에 실시하여 모의 양육태도와 심리상태를 분석하였다.
본 연구의 결과와 논의를 통해 얻어진 결론은 다음과 같다.
첫째, 모녀미술치료가 모의 양육태도 변화에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
둘째, 모녀미술치료는 아동의 불안 감소에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
셋째, 모녀미술치료는 모녀관계에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
따라서 본 연구에서 모의 양육태도 변화와 아동의 불안감소를 위한 모녀 미술치료 는 모의 양육행동개선에 효과적이라고 볼 수 있으며, 불안아동의 심리치료에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다.
