ABSTRACT

The moderners have many diseases. They are various in forms, and especially related to mental illnesses. Thus, various kinds of remedies are required for the moderners, who have raised their intellectual and economic levels. Simple interviews and repeated medication are limited, and also have long mental and physical sequelae even after a perfect cure. Therefore, it would be recommendable to attempt art therapy collectively and actively, to rehabilitate patients. Among the art therapies, the literary therapy is especially expected to have a special effect when considering its features. Methodologies of literary therapy mentioned here are expressed in too great a latitude, so it should be complemented more. However, it is surely more effective to approach with scientific and professional theory, rather than with weak theoretical basis. In this context, I took Kim Yoo-jeong’s novels as a subject of my analysis, to see the device and effect of laughter, with an application of the viewpoint of literary therapy, and its possibility in consideration. Thus, this piece of writing is attempting to study the application of the viewpoint of literary therapy, and its possibility, through the device of laughter represented in Kim Yoo-jeong’s novels, ‘Bom Bom’ and ‘Dongbaekkot.’
