This qualitative study investigates the development of child psychotherapy programs in Seoul, building on research that highlights stigma surrounding mental health issues in Korean communities and focusing on shifts in psychotherapeutic circles. Therapists noted that parents are more open to bringing their children for treatment but often hesitate due to residual stigma. Meanwhile, a growing emphasis on improving academic performance has increased and stimulated service-seeking behaviors. Separate studies have explored the role of stigma around mental health and the obsession with academic achievement in Korea, but this study is situated at the intersection between stigma and demand. The combination of stigma and demand has created an environment for play therapy to emerge as an appealing alternative for dealing with psychological issues. The insights gleaned from child psychotherapists in Korea have broader implications for understanding how stigma can both hinder access to treatment and diversify services
