Thus, this study proposed a concept for the 'Healing Games' and sought to draw key features.

Functional Games, which have developed in Korea until now, is only for the healthy people's education. There are less functional games for neglected people, specially for the disturbed's healing. I define 'Green Contents' as contents which is helpful to both of nature and human, especially to the week, and also they are not developed only for the commercial aim. Functional Games for the disturbed's healing should be developed as' Green Contents.' If functional games for the disturbed's healing will be developed as aspects of technology and contents development, they will have more effects to people, and also people will need them more. For this study, I analyze art therapy, which is a normal treatment to give a social nature and self respect to the disturbed. Also I developed a functional game program for the disturbed's healing as based on psychoanalyst's theories and suggest it's Road-map. This study will be useful for the developer who want to develop this kinds of games afterwards, and various functional games for the disturbed's healing as Green Contents should be more developed in the near future.

교육용 게임의 목표는 교육 게임 산업보고서에서 밝힌 것과 같이 게임 사용자의 지식, 기술, 지력, 정감, 태도, 가치관, 그리고 교육적 효과를 가지도록 해야 하는 특징을 가진다. 특히 오락성에 못지않게 규칙, 경쟁, 도전 같은 요소들 또한 내포되어 있어야 한다. 또한 중요한 요소는 게임이 주는 교육적 효과라고 볼 수 있는데, 만약 교육적 효과가 높다면 좋은 게임이라 볼 수 있다. 그러나 다른 일반적인 게임과 마찬가지로 교육용 게임에 대한 시선은 좋지 못한 것이 사실이며, 이러한 시선으로 인해 교육용 게임은 크게 보편화되고 있지 못하고 있다. 본 논문은 중국에서 많이 사용하고 있는 교육용 게임에 대해 소개해 본다.
