摘要

本研究目的是以表達性藝術治療，探究在921地震災後四年之十位失落悲傷成員工作坊之效果研究。十位參與者，其中六位家中房屋全倒，八位曾經歷過親人死亡，三位因地震失去親人。工作坊前成員已重建家園並參與兩週一次進行半年的讀書會。研究者應成員邀請帶領二天工作坊，處理成員悲傷失落經驗，協助其面對、接受此失落經驗，重新面對其未來生活。資料來源有「非參與觀察記錄」、「團體回餿問卷」、團體後一個月的「追蹤訪談」、半年後的「焦點團體」。研究者以開放編碼、分析歸類工作坊效果資料，成員檢核確認後呈現。
研究結果發現本工作坊在失落悲傷團體的效果是：1.透過象徵圖示表露悲傷失落情緒與溝通，倍感安全；2.藝術爲過渡空間，可將自我內、外在世界經驗連結；3.視覺圖像重新創作，轉化悲傷失落爲再出發的能量；4.作品具體存在，日後改變的提示物；5.面對死亡恐懼、了解生命限制，與死者告別完成未竟事務。本研究討論上述發現的意義，並針對悲傷失落工作提出相關討論與建議。
