Creative Improvisation Through Literature

Abstract

Previous studies indicated the effectiveness of using art-therapy methods in preventing psychological problems or improving emotional intelligence. In this study, 40 participants engaged in a narrative therapy–based intervention group (CILP group), aimed at increasing emotional intelligence. In parallel, another group (art-therapy group) also composed of 40 participants, using other art-therapy techniques was conducted. A control group, consisting of the same number of participants ( n = 40) who did not engage in any intervention, was included in the study. Results indicated significant increases in emotional intelligence in the CILP group between pretest and posttest. In addition, there were significant differences observed between the CILP group and the art-therapy group, as well as between the CILP group and the control group, all at the posttest stage. Implications, limitations, and future research directions are addressed.
