Fractals therapy as a process of socializing pre-school children

Art terapija je oblik ekspresivne psihoterapije koja se ne bavi samo problemima i negativnim aspektima osobe nego otkrivanjem unutarnjih potencijala, kreativnih resursa, razvojem pozitivnih, jakih strana koje joj pomažu da se suoči s problemima, sagleda ih u novom svjetlu, bolje razumije i s njima se nosi na konstruktivniji način. Crtanje fraktala je jedna od formi art terapije. Terapijsku metodu osmislila je Tanzilia Polujahtova, klinička psihologinja i obiteljska psihologinja koja radi i djeluje u Rusiji. Fraktal je slika koja se sastoji od jedne neisprekidane linije i obojenih polja. (Božac, 2017.) Cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrditi na koji način i kako pomoću jedne vrste art terapije se može dublje pogledati u socio – emocionalne odnose među djecom u skupinama, ali isto tako i poticanje djece na stvaranje te osoban razvoj. U ovom istraživanju pratilo se na koji način ova vrsta art terapije može pomoći u socijaliziranju djece predškolske dobi. Istraživanje se provodilo u jednom dječjem vrtiću u Osijeku, u skupini djece starije skupine u dobi od 6 do 7 godina. Sudjelovalo je desetero djece, četiri dječaka i šest djevojčica. Istraživanje je trajalo kroz četiri mjeseca u intervalima. Dobiveni rezultati samo su smjer onoga što bi se moglo još dodatno istraživati, jer je nažalost fraktalna terapija još uvijek relativno nova vrsta art terapije, te nedovoljno istražena.Art therapy is an expressive form of psychotherapy which not only deals with problems and negative aspects of a person, but also helps to discover internal potential and creative resources. It also help on developing of positive and strength sides that helps person to cope with the problems and perceive them in a new light. Morethere, art therapy helps with better understanding of problems and it brings new ways to deal with them in a more constructive way. Drawing fractal is a new form of art therapy. Therapeutic method is developed by Tanzilia Polujahtova, clinical psychologist and family psychologist who lives and works in Russia. A fractal is an image that consists of one unbroken lines and colored fields. (Bozac, 2017) The aim of this reasearch is to determine in what way and how, using just one type of art therapy, it can be deeper look into the socio - emotional relationships between children in the groups, but also encouraging children to create and develop creativity and personal development. In this research we followed the way how can this kind of art therapy help in socializing children of preschool age. Research is conducted in a kindergarten in Osijek, in the group of children older groups. The study included ten children, four boys and six girls. The study lasted for four months in intervals. The given results are just direction of what could be more research, because, unfortunately fractal therapy is still a relatively new kind of art therapy, and not reasearched enough
