4원소 중 바람(風) 심상의 시치유적 해석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to pay attention to the value of the theory of poem therapy that promotes indirect healing of internal affect and effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy on healing of anxiety, and also to perform a research utilizing the image of air as a medium of therapy by interpreting its meanings in the poetics of four elements. To achieve this purpose, after summarizing the symptoms of anxiety and the image of air which is one of four elements of poetics as the background theory through the literature analysis, this study discussed anxiety in the psychoanalytic perspective of psychology. Especially, viewing that the poem therapy would be useful as a defense mechanism against anxiety, the poem-therapeutic process was schematized for establishing the theory of poem therapy. After that, applying the diagram contents showing the poem-therapeutic process in seven poems by Korean lyric poets, this study considered the interpretation of the image of air in the therapeutic perspective and cognitive/behavioral elements. The results of this study could be summarized as follows. First, the poetic ego’s cognition of agony is an element of healing. Second, the image of air changes an unconsciously-automated behavior to an cognitive behavior, which contributes to healing. Third, the mimesis using the image of air is effective on poem therapy for people lacking in an ability to write poems. This study is significant in the aspect of discussing the interpretation and application of poem therapy with the image of air. However, this study has a limitation of not performing an empirical research, so it would be necessary to have a follow-up research utilizing the statistical analysis in the future.
