Persons with mental illness often have low self-esteem, a lack of self-expression, and poor social skills. This study used a quasi-experimental two-group pre-test-post-test design to investigate the effects of food art therapy on the self-esteem, self-expression, and social skills of persons with mental illness attending community rehabilitation facilities. The authors recruited persons with mental illness aged 18 years or older attending three community rehabilitation facilities. Participants in two rehabilitation facilities participated in food art therapy (experimental groups 1 and 2; n = 15 for each group), and participants in the third rehabilitation facility participated in regular programs of the facility (control group, n = 30). Participants in the experimental groups attended a total of eight sessions of food art therapy twice per week for four weeks. The Korean versions of the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, self-expression scale, and social skill rating system were administered at pre- and post-test in both the experimental and control groups.

The relevance of studying the self- assessment of cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and its relationship with psychological health is due to the need to increase the effectiveness of the system of psychological support for cadets during the period of pre-university education, the purpose of which is to compensate for the deficiencies in the adaptive abilities of adolescents and their further personal and professional self-determination. One of the main criteria for assessing a cadet’s career opportunities in the law enforcement system is his self-assessment. A young man entering the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia does not always proportion the level of his physical, intellectual and personal capabilities with those requirements of the educational environment of a military school. The inability of adolescents to adequately assess their strengths and weaknesses complicates the process of professional self-determination, in connection with which a significant percentage of the pupils who entered the school experience difficulties in adaptation, are disappointed in their choice and make a decision to expel. The study resulted in a correlation between the self-esteem of the cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with the resource of their psychological health, reflecting the ratio of constructive and destructive-deficient central (unconscious) personality functions. Another finding is a significant difference in the self-assessment of cadets assigned to different groups of psychological health. The practical significance of the research findings is determined by the possibility of their effective use in the system of psychological support for pre-university training of cadets of the Suvorov military school, including the period of mass psycho-prophylactic examinations and the provision of targeted psychological assistance to cadets with low self-assessment.
