青少年問題日益嚴重,使得原本較少被關注的非行少年矯正輔導課題也開始受到重視與研究。本研究是以休閒的觀點來探討非行少年參與作為藝術治療之戲劇活動時所產生的休閒體驗、作用與改變,進而與現行的藝術治療理論有所對話。 本研究採用質性研究方法,藉由參與觀察、田野日誌與深入訪談。本研究發現,非行少年由於通常都有相當複雜之生活背景與成長經驗,因此,一般均具有內在壓力緊繃、框架束縛嚴密、動盪混亂無知、缺乏單純投入以及自我價值虛無等生活背景和休閒特性。而透過戲劇活動之參與,則有放鬆、脫離、自覺、忘我、自我成就等一連串休閒體驗與休閒作用的產生。進而,也帶給他們對於自己、家庭與人際關係,在觀念、態度和行為上的改變。而這些改變,其實是來自他們對於休閒自由之潛在需求的獲得滿足。 不同於以往之藝術治療理論是從各類藝術的原理去推敲促成各種心理作用與行為調整。本研究則是從休閒的統合觀點來觀察非行少年在戲劇藝術治療過程中所歷經的對休閒之自由涵義的豐富體驗。並藉由案例經驗更清楚地點出,休閒體驗在戲劇藝術治療過程所發揮之重要中介作用。此一研究發現應有助於補充與豐實藝術治療相關理論,並使往後藝術治療中之休閒中介意義受到更多關注,甚而改善非行少年之輔教方案。
The problems of teenagers have become serious increasingly, which result in more attention on the studies of juvenile delinq uency then ever. From the leisure standpoint, this research discusses the effect created by drama therapy in acting on juvenile delinquency, then making some interaction with related theories of art therapy. This study puts to use the methods of qualitative studies including of observing and participating, countryside daily recording and in-depth interviewing. It shows that there is usually a quite complex background and growing experiences being company with juvenile delinquency. Therefore, their backgrounds of life and characters of leisure are generally content of mental over-stress, constraint, disorder, out of focus, and the lack of self-confidence. By participating in the activities of drama, they produce a series of the action of leisure, such as relaxation, escape, self-consciousness, selflessness, sublimation, and self-achievement. Moreover, the following changes in their opinions, attitude, and behaviors happened on themselves, family, and human relationship. Yet, these changes result from the pent-up demands satisfied for the leisure liberty. This study from an integral standpoint of leisure is different from previous researches of art therapy, which mainly based on several kinds of art theories to deliberate psychological effect and behavior adjustments. We touch abundant experiences of leisure liberty during the drama psychotherapy. Through cases study, we point out that how important leisure experiences played in drama art psychotherapy as an agency. The findings of this study might enrich the related theories, catch more attention in future related researches, and in addition improve the lent support to projects of juvenile delinquency.
