Research Abstract

This research investigated effectiveness of imagery in psychotherapy for breast cancer as somatization. The results suggested that Baum test was more sensitive and effective to assess patients’ anxiety and unstable boundary than questionnaire method. Sand play therapy was suggested to be effective and significant in that it brought about psychological changes among patients, such as reflection of their life, awareness of their inner essence and building up new relationship with others. In order to consider more suitable psychological support for breast cancer patients, it is important to provide various kinds of psychotherapy, including psychotherapy of imagery, according to assessment of individual needs.
