The purpose of this study was to determine what experiences for a family of a child with autism spectrum disorder had through family art therapy for resilience and what they meant. For this purpose, a qualitative case study was conducted for exploration. A family consisting of a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, the parents, and two girls, participated in this study. Family art therapy for resilience was given in a total of 20 sessions, 60-90 minutes per session―from July 19 to October 21, 2017. From the results of this study, the following conclusions on the experiences of family art therapy for resilience in the family of a child with autism spectrum disorder were drawn. First, the family of a child with autism spectrum disorder identified the strengths of the family and developed positive views of hardships for the family of a disabled child. Second, the participants were enabled to understand the need to make open self-expression and clarify communication through art therapy. Third, the participants established mutually cooperative relationships through the mutual understanding and support during the course of art. To put these conclusions together, the process of family art therapy for resilience generated positive views of hardship, stabilized the family structure, encouraged the family to embrace open self-expression, and clarified family communication.
