This paper examines two group art psychotherapy programs held in 2017 at the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMST). It focusses on three contemporary artworks by Kimsooja, Ilya Kabakov and Sophia Kosmaoglou belonging to the EMST collection and how working with these groups was explored through objects relations theory. The paper looks at how these artworks became evocative as transformational objects to bring about change. The conclusion is that contemporary art is beneficial when working psychotherapeutically in the museum environment through relating it to existing object relations theory. We conclude that professionals who run museum and gallery-based psychotherapy groups will find the contributions of object relations theory and contemporary art beneficial in this way.

本文研究了2017年在雅典国家当代艺术博物馆（EMST）举办的两个团体艺术心理治疗计划。它重点介绍了属于EMST的Kimsooja，Ilya Kabakov和Sophia Kosmaoglou的三幅当代艺术品，以及如何通过对象关系理论探索与这些群体的合作。本文着眼于这些艺术品如何成为引起变革的变革对象而令人回味。结论是，当代艺术在博物馆环境中进行心理治疗时，通过将其与现有的对象关系理论联系起来是有益的。我们得出的结论是，经营基于博物馆和画廊的心理治疗小组的专业人员将发现对象关系理论和当代艺术的贡献以这种方式有益。
