The purpose of this study is to propose a literary therapy approach to alleviate the psychological difficulties of parents and adolescent children in the process of divorce.This was carried out based on the awareness of the lack of interest and understanding of parents and children who experience complex stress during the divorce process and looked into psychological difficulties by referring to the concepts of parental ostracism syndrome and loyalty conflict.In order to achieve the purpose of the study, we examined parental bullying syndrome and loyalty conflict among the psychological difficulties experienced by parents and adolescent children during the divorce process through previous research and derived two themes of psychological difficulties.First, when talking to adolescent children about their parents' divorce, and second, when adolescent children refuse to interview and negotiate with non-custodial parents.In addition, texts and works that can be used as a literary therapy approach were also suggested.Research results: First, the text selected when talking to adolescent children about their parent's divorce was the movie "Scattered Night," and second, when adolescent children refused to negotiate interviews with non-custodial parents, the movie 'Bandage Club' was suggested.Accordingly, the significance of this study is that it suggests the need to develop a literary therapy program to alleviate the psychological difficulties of parents in the process of divorce and their adolescent children, as well as primary data for constructing the program.We want to verify its effectiveness in follow-up studies targeting parents and adolescent children in the process of divorce.
