Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the experience of undergraduate students with a tendency to emotional crisis in attending group art counseling.
Methods: The informants were 8 undergraduate students who had participated in a 6-session, weekly program, and whose posttest scores of the Emotional Crisis Inventory for Thai University Students had increased. The data collected from interviews conducted from 22nd May – 31st August, 2014 was analyzed using phenomenological method.
Results: The analysis of the interviews from the 8 informants revealed three main themes as follows:
1) Hesitation to disclose oneself: the informants were reluctant to express themselves at the beginning of the group counseling;
2) Life difficulties: they had experienced negative situations that affected their lives;
3) Insights through group art counseling experience: the informants gained insights about themselves and others through the process.
Conclusion: Art making in a group can be beneficial to several aspects of group process. The informants gained insights through group process and art making in group.
