Abstract:
Mandala drawing therapy is a kind of art therapy, which has been widely used in the field of
clinical psychological intervention. In China, the current research on the application of mandala drawing
therapy in clinical psychological intervention is not systematic, and the analysis of these studies can
provide reference for the development of this therapy in the future. This study expounds the protective
and integrated therapeutic mechanism of mandala drawing therapy from three aspects: structural
characteristics, color dimension and the Self, and defines the specific operation mode of short-term
mandala drawing therapy. Then it distinguishes and summarizes its application in two groups of patients
with mental disorders and patients with non-psychological disorders. It also combs the specific effect of
mandala drawing therapy in clinical psychological intervention from the three dimensions of symptom,
emotion and quality of life. Finally, it presents the controversy that still exists in the practical application
of mandala drawing therapy, and points out the direction of its further application.
