This paper aims to identify the characteristics of literary therapy in relation to literature education. It also intends to clarify its distinctiveness. Literary therapy is not to teach literature. It does not deliver knowledge on agreed analyses, backgrounds and the nature of genres. Literary therapy encourages participants to fully appreciate one's thought and emotions and express them. The end goal is self-knowledge rather than the understanding of texts. Literary therapy focuses on self-knowledge through literatures as opposed to literature education which aims to encourage understandings of literature texts. In literary therapy, literature is media for personal growth facilitating self-expansion. Literature works enable participants to view oneself objectively by the means of one's responses to literature works. Literary therapy has more permissive viewpoints on recipients' response to literature texts than literature education. In addition, the subject of literary therapy is more unique and individualistic.

This study was conducted to determine the degree of satisfaction and the demand for the current education service of language therapy. We surveyed a total of fifty two nurturers of children who had been diagnosed as autistic. A three-part questionnaire that covered the environment of the therapy institution (7 questions), the programs provided by the Speech-Language Pathologist (7 questions) and the degree of satisfaction and the demand for therapy education (7 questions) was used. The study results showed, in the area of the institution environment for therapy education, that the degree of satisfaction was highest for Social Welfare Center users due to the therapy costs. The level of satisfaction then decreased in the order of private clinic users and general hospital users. However, in the area of education programs provided by Speech-Language Pathologists, it was highest for the users of general hospitals due to the proper contents of the programs and consulting service. The satisfaction level then decreased in the order of private clinic users and Social Welfare Center users. Regarding the level of satisfaction with therapy education and related demand, the degree of satisfaction with language therapy and all therapy education services was generally satisfactory. After the language therapy, the children showed considerable improvement in their living skills (60% of survey respondents) and psychological stability (stress reduction, 30% of the total survey respondents). Regarding the future demand for therapy education, the degree of demand was high for the individual and group language therapy education service. In summary, the results of this study uncovered a number of problems related to services provided by language therapy education institutions and suggested various implications that Speech-Language Pathologists and relevant professionals should endeavor to use so as to enhance the satisfaction level of therapy education for autistic children.

This study is a research study to identify the recognition, experiences, needs of convergence education in occupational therapy students. Therefore, it is intended to provide basic data when developing convergence subjects and non-regular programs within the occupational therapy (department) curriculum. From December 03, 2020, a web questionnaire consisting of 14 questions in 4 areas was distributed over a month, and the data of 130 people were finally analyzed. The results are as follows. First, the recognition and experiences of occupational therapy students in convergence education were low. Second, 57.7% of students recognized that occupational therapy majors need convergence education, and the expected effect of convergence education was 'improvement of occupational therapy job-related knowledge'. Third, it was recognized that 'natural science', 'prosthesis and assistive technology, activity of daily living(ADL)', and 'ADL training' convergence education was necessary for the students of occupational therapy department. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data in the future development of occupational therapy curriculum and non-regular programs for convergence education. In the future, I think that the demand for convergence education and program development in preparation for the 4th industrial revolution will increase in the occupational therapy curriculum. It is expected that the data of this study will be used meaningfully by professors in charge of occupational therapy education at universities.
