해석학적 현상학의 학위논문에서 다뤄진 글쓰기를 기반으로 미술심리치료학 전공 졸업생들의 반영적 글쓰기 체험의 분석

Abstract

There is a significant proportion of recipients of Masters or Doctoral degrees in Art Psychotherapy who strive for a learning framework that is sustained beyond the point of graduation. There is a need to initiate research that aims to find a professionally relevant and convenient approach to meet this demand. For this purpose, the current study analyzes the “reflective writing” experiences of 6 graduates who have applied hermeneutic phenomenological research methods in their dissertations. These research participants were asked to read through two to five hermeneutic phenomenological “writings” after graduation and then produce their own “reflective writings”. 8 broad themes and 19 sub-themes emerged from the analysis of the data, from which three conclusions regarding “reflective writing” were drawn: “Written reflections” can provide the research participant with an opportunity to holistically appreciate the past-present-future; the more honest and in-depth the “writing” section of the dissertation or thesis, the more cyclical contribution it can make; “reflective writing” should be acknowledged and respected as a culmination of intellectual effort.
