| Summary: | Examining the concept of literary therapy and its effects, this paper explores the method and unique ethical effects of ‘story making’ in Korean literary therapy, and proposes 'story making' as a way for participating-readers to practice self-understanding and self-growth through Korean folktales. First, to lead storymaking to a literary therapy, we define the concepts of fictional narrative, self-story, folktales, participating-reader, literary therapist, and explain the role of these concepts. Second, we examine five stages involved in the process of story-making in Korean literary therapy: Understanding Participation-Reader and Folktale Selection, Making Fictional Narrative, Narrative Exploration, Connecting with Participant-Reader, Changing Story and Seeking Solutions. A participating-reader connects and integrates a literary text with his or her symptom via unique characteristics of each stage in step-by-step features. Third, the effects of literary therapy are practicing sustainable education through self-understanding and psychological growth and emulating the healthy lifestyles and ethics of others. |
