AB - This study aims to help children enhance their self-esteem at a local children’s center through group play therapy that is applied according to the Object Relations Theory and psychotherapy technique of Donald Winnicott. The study examined the process of children as their self-esteem was promoted and even healed through group play therapy for the children at a local children’s center who had psychological difficulties due to their low self-esteem. As a research method, a pre- and post of children’s self- esteem and a group play therapy program were conducted for 10 sessions of 60 minutes each.
The findings are as follows: first, the therapist created holding opportunities for the research participants in good enough environment that was sufficiently positive within the group play therapy through therapist's endurance and positive support from the members; second, the research participants noticed a false self within themselves, found a true self, and grew independent through the group play focused on Winnicott's theory; third, the research participants enhanced their self-esteem, understanding of others as well as themselves, and sociality through group play therapy; fourth, the study made certain that group play therapy was provided within pastoral counseling care in which the goal was to restore the images of God; finally, the pre- and post-test results based on a self-esteem scale provided a significant finding in that the self-esteem of the research participants made a positive increase.
