Abstract

This study has its purpose on finding visual and auditory expressional scope, and therapeutic properties of image guided therapy through an approach to imagery and artistic psychotherapy. Among many treatments and relaxation therapies to prevent and relief mental stress of modern people from social activities, efforts to heal and treat people using video image have been magnified in various ways. The therapies are mainly done by a combined treatment that utilizes images from art and color treatment, and sounds from acoustic treatment. However, it shows its practical limitations in psychotherapeutic and relaxation roles because it hasn’t been systematically designed for therapeutic properties. Therefore, this study first understands the current situation of imagery therapy in existing hospitals, therapeutic spaces, and public places. Investigating and categorizing the construction of the existing therapies, it draws practical factors that help treatments and relaxation. It presents problems of existing components concentrating upon using G.I.M. among many methods in existing art and color treatment, and acoustic treatment. The experimental study was conducted targeting the ordinary people after sampling factors of relaxation from the guided imagery checklist. The emotional responses were observed under the two given situation which are the combined stimulus of image and sound, and a single stimulus. It draws the image and sound factors which arouse a positive feeling through investigating the degree of relaxation from the overall guided imagery. The results can also be utilized as basic sources for settling a systematic guideline and developing a rating scale in imagery psychotherapy.
