Background. Children between the ages of 8 and 10 have communication problems. The strongest need of this age is the desire to be recognized by peers, which possibly overshadows the creative needs of self-expression (Jonynienė, 2013). The inner disharmony of a person, which becomes apparent at the younger school age, may later be more important and lead to emotional, behavioural and learning problems, as well as social disadaptation (Juknienė, 2005). We can assume that in case of low self-esteem and low creative needs for self-expression art therapy sessions could help strengthen a person’s self-esteem and creativity.Research aim. The aim of the study was to identify and evaluate links between 8–10-year-old children’s self-esteem and creativity in the process of art therapy. Objectives of the research: 1. To determine 8–10-year-old children’s self-esteem. 2. To determine 8–10-year-old children’s creativity before and after art therapy. Research question: 1. How do the data of the analysis of research methods relate to each other?Methods. The study applied mixed-methods approach. The self-esteem test by Oaklander (2014), E. E. Tunik’s creativity methodology, analysis of formal elements, case analysis and group art therapy consisting of 10 sessions were applied.Results. Self-esteem was tested during the research was average. The change in creativity after art therapy programs was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The results of the analysis of formal elements and the case study were the most important.Conclusions. Research results showed that art therapy strengthened 8-10-yearold children’s self-esteem and improved their creativity.

Experimental Group

Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures used in various oncological diseases are often accompanied by the unwanted and uncontrolled appearance defects. The presence of an acquired visible difference is a significant source of stress, which is often ignored. The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between self-attitude and body image satisfaction in women with alopecia undergoing chemotherapy for cancer of the reproductive system. The study involved 20 women (mean age 52,15 years) without alopecia who start a course of chemotherapy treatment, and 20 women (mean age 51,55 years) with alopecia provoked by 10-40 courses of chemotherapy. An empirical study was conducted at the Ryazan Regional Clinical Oncology Center. Respondents were asked to fill out the Scale for assessing the level of satisfaction with the own body (O.A. Skugarevsky), the Self-Attitude Questionnaire (S.R. Pantileev), and to perform the projective technique “Human Figure Drawing” (K. Machover, F. Goodenough). Based on the obtained empirical data, specific regression models were revealed for each sample, demonstrating the dependence of self-attitude on the self-assessment of various components of the body image. In the experimental group of patients without alopecia, an adaptive level of self-acceptance is underlied by the high self-esteem of the external appearance of the chest (p=0,028), ears (p=0,039), and hair (p=0,017). Self-attachment among respondents in this group is determined by self-esteem of the abdomen (p=0,037). In the experimental group of patients with alopecia, other components of self-attitude were the most significant. The level of self-accusation is determined by the self-esteem of the pelvic region (p=0,048), ears (p=0,043), and hair (p=0,047). The reflected Self-attitude is determined to self-esteem of the chest (p=0,029), back (p=0,032), and arms (p=0,027). The patterns revealed in each sample are confirmed by the results of the projective technique “Human Figure Drawing”. Women with cancer of the reproductive organs, both before and after chemotherapy, mainly pay attention to those components of the body image that are associated with femininity and physical attractiveness, as well as those that undergo severe changes in the process of radical treatment.

The results of interviews with 10 PLWHA showed that the respondents still felt ashamed and felt that they were not useful for this life and felt excluded by their family and environment. The purpose of the study is to describe the concept of self (PLWHA). The design used in this study is quantitative with a descriptive approach. The sampling method uses accidental sampling as many as 188 respondents. The data collection tool uses a questionnaire. The results showed 113 respondents (60.1%) had a positive self-concept. 98 respondents (52.1%) had a positive body image, 116 respondents (61.7%) had an ideal positive self, 96 respondents (51.1%) had negative self-esteem, 167 respondents (83.5%) had an appearance negative role and 98 respondents (52.1%) had a positive self-identity.
