The purpose of this study is to analyze the design and effects of the art therapy program by making analysis framework based on the previous studies. This study aims to establish a clinical · theoretical foundation for introducing the programs for multicultural clients. This study did an literature review based on a journal paper. These papers were published from 2006 to 2018 and collected through the domestic database homepage, Riss. Dissertations were excluded from this study. This study was divided into three categories: basic information(publication year, publisher), research subject, study method(research methodology, major variables), programs(convergence of therapy techniques, session analysis, keyword analysis). First, according to the analysis results of the year of publication, research on multicultural families has been active since 2011, and conducted passively until 2016. After that, research has been actively conducted on children of them. These results reflect that the children of them are experiencing psychological difficulties. Second, the difficulties of the client were investigated according to the main variables of the program for the clients and the convergence of treatment techniques on art therapy. Art therapy program based on their psychological difficulties will be more effective for them. Third, group art therapy was the most common among the key words in the thesis. The program was structured so that they could reach the goal by receiving encouragement among the members through the program. Finally, the amount of thesis to which qualitative research methodology is applied is insufficient compared to other methodology. Most researches used questionnaires to statistically measure the psychological difficulties of the subjects. However, there is a limit to developing research when using only quantitative research methodology to demonstrate the effectiveness of the program. In order to analyze the dynamics of the group, we must consider the advantages of the qualitative research methodology.
