The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of food art therapy(FAT) group counseling program on academic self-efficacy of underachiever adolescents. The subjects were 20 students of Middle School in Gwangju, Korea. Ten subjects were assigned to the experimental group and ten to the control group. The experimental group received 8 sessions of FAT program(once a week, each session lasted 90 minutes). But there were no treatments for the control group.
