The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of workplace spirituality of art psychotherapists on the perception and attitudes toward delinquent youths. The subjects of this study included 115 art psychotherapists in Seoul City. The analysis methods were frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 22.0 program. Study results found that the vocational consciousness and transcendental consciousness of art psychotherapists had a significant influence on the perception of delinquent youths, and the inner consciousness, empathy consciousness, and community consciousness did not have a significant effect. Second, it was found that art psychotherapist's inner consciousness, community consciousness, and transcendence consciousness had significant influences on attitudes toward delinquent youths. This means that the higher the art psychotherapist's vocational consciousness and transcendental consciousness, the higher the perception of delinquent youths, and the higher the inner consciousness, community consciousness, and transcendental consciousness, the higher the attitudes toward delinquent youths. The implications of this study are expected to provide basic data for preparing plans to improve the perception and attitudes toward delinquent youths by art psychotherapists.
