Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the function of literary-therapy on the writing of Kyubanggasa by including both female writer and male writer. Literary-therapy is a process which restores a patient from abnormal mental state to normal state through literary works. The women and men of the upper-class in the country (향촌사족) expressed various troubles of their lives by Kyubanggasa in 18-19th century. Their works are divided on the main three types: gyenyeuga(계녀가), tansikga(탄식가), hwajenga(화전가). This thesis pointed on the creative context of Kyubanggasa and psychologic condition of women and men writer. The upper-class in the country were quailed because of political estrangement and poverty, so they depended on their family very much. Therefore individual, internal and weak characteristics are found on most men's works. The other side sometimes women's authority are found on some women's works. Some women adopt an offensive attitude in these works and express the strong independence. The aspects of literary-therapy by Kyubanggasa are divided on the three types. The first is a mass self-therapy by the delivery of ideology and norm. The second is a personal self-therapy by the creation of experience and common impressions. And the third is a mutual therapy in a group by the joint performance and creation. Especially a mutual therapy in a group is very important in therapy. A mutual therapy are divided on the three types: personal writing, common writing and series writing. And series writing described the process of dispute and compromise between two groups. The writing methods of Kyubanggasa can be used practically in recent literary-therapy program.
