A Study on Psychological Change of Depressed Children in a Psychotherapy Program with Loess

The purpose of this study is to develop a psychotherapy program using loess that can help to reduce depression and daily life stress and to improve self - esteem. When depression begins in childhood, it is confirmed that the recurrence rate is very high in adulthood. There was no significant change in depression as a physical symptom with the use of loess, but it was significantly decreased in negative depression symptom that derogatory oneself, and significant decrease in loss of interest, behavioral problems, and depressed emotions. This suggests that psychological and social intervention for children with depression can be effectively promoted and depression can be reduced by suggesting appropriate psychotherapeutic interventions for children to cope with depression.
