Objective : The purpose of this study was to identify effects of intensive sensory integration (SI) treatment and home-program for a child who has a sensory integration disorder. This study also examined whether the positive effect is long-lasting by a follow-up test. Method : A boy with sensory integration dysfunction underwent an intensive SI treatment for 2 weeks. The intervention was consisted of 9 sessions and duration of the each session was 40 minutes. Sensory diet and Wilbarger protocol was provided as home program. The child's sensory function was evaluated before and after the SI intervention. Five month later, re-evaluation was executed for follow-up purpose. Results : In the evaluation after the Si intervention, the child's sensory defensiveness was decreased. Praxis, visual perception, sensory regulation dysfunction (sleep function), affective stabilization and performance of activities of daily living are also improved. In the re-evaluation after the 5 month later, the self-regulation ability, especially sleep function, has been maintained and the visual perception was developing continually. However, the child showed some affective regulation such as bothering his mother and losing his temper. Conclusions : The intensive SI intervention showed positive effects in terms of SI function improvement and the effect lasted long without any additional therapeutic intervention.

What is the level of happiness that Korean teenagers feel? According to a recent survey, the subjective happiness index of Korean teenagers ranks 16th among the 22 OECD countries. However, the measure of satisfaction in life, which represents an individual happiness index among the factors that make up the subjective happiness index, still ranks last among OECD countries. This phenomenon is also seen in a study conducted on Korean teenagers by the PIL (Purpose in Life test). In this article, we would like to reflect on teenagers' resilience in overcoming the existential hardships caused by excessive academic stress and interpersonal disability that Korean teenagers suffer. To this end, the concept of resilience is expanded by supplementing the limits of psychological resilience through philosophical resilience. In other words, we will examine the relationship between adolescents' existential trials and resilience on the one hand, and the therapeutic implications of existential philosophical resilience on the other. Furthermore, we will try a diagnostic and therapeutic approach to adolescents' existential trials. Finally, based on this theoretical review, we will attempt to analyze cases of personal counseling of juvenile delinquents on probation for improving the resilience of the child care target.
