Summary

One of the art therapy techniques that can provide psychological support and healing is mandala painting. Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning 'circle'. The purpose of the circle is to encourage meditation, concentration and integration by narrowing or limiting the visual field towards the centre. In mandala painting, the individual can focus on the lines, stay in the moment, separate themselves from the concerns of the past and future and allow them to recall the consciousness of the moment. Studies in the literature have reported that making mandalas is an effective method for reducing negative mood and anxiety in people.This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to help women who experience postpartum sadness get through this period more easily.
