In this study, we examined the meaning of diagnostic evaluation and the therapeutic meaning and application possibilities of using the figure therapy in a counseling setting for adolescent client having difficulty building peer relationship due to school violence. To summarize, adolescent suffering from school violence choses animal figures and small figurines representing low self-esteem, atrophy, tension, depression and anxiety. He was having trouble communicating at home in a cohesive and male dominant environment and was excluded from peer group. Based on the expression of the victimized situation using the figures, it was feasible to conceptualize, set a counseling goal and develop strategies. In addition, the study found the therapeutic meaning and application possibilities of the figure therapy as follows. Firstly, the adolescent client who suffer difficulties in their relationship with their peer due to school violence, choses figures and expressed the story in their own language and expanded it to a new level of recognition. Secondly, figure therapy safely confronts the trauma memories of victims of school violence and helps heal injured inner child. Lastly, figure therapy positively affected the self-esteem of adolescents who complained of difficulty in their relationship with their peers due to school violence.
