집단상담활동의 유형화 연구 -치료적 요인을 중심으로-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study analyzed the nature of frequently used structured group exercises in terms of therapeutic factors. The analysis was conducted through the following three stages. First, thirty group counseling exercises were selected. In the second stage, the applicability of Kivlighan, Multon, and Brossart`s(1996) classification system of therapeutic factors was determined on the basis of empirical findings on group activities which reflect Korean social and cultural situation. Then, therapeutic factors specific to Korean group counseling was explored. In the final stage, thirty exercises were evaluated and classified into four cluster groups in terms of the therapeutic factors emerged from the analysis of the second stage. Thirty-six professional group counselors (26 males; 10 females) whose experiences as a group leader ranges from 5 to 28 years (M = 9.1; SD = 5.41) were asked to evaluate 30 selected exercises in terms of the five therapeutic factors placed on five-point Likert scale. Cluster analyses was used for data analysis and the following results were obtained: 1) Cluster 1 included structured group exercises that facilitated factor 1 (Positive and Accepting Climate ~ Establishing Trusting Relationships) and factor 3 (Involving in Group Process and Active Participation) strongly and factor 5 (Learning from Interaction with Others) only. 2) Ouster 2 included structured group exercises that strongly facilitate most therapeutic factors, specially, factor 4 (Confronting with Hidden Aspects of Emotion and Personality). 3) Ouster 3 included structured group exercises that are less effective than those in cluster 2. The cluster three exercises seem to facilitate factor 2 (Emotional Awareness and Insights of Problems) and 4 (Involving in Group Process and Active Participation) more than the duster two exercises did. 4) Ouster 4 included structured group exercises that strongly facilitated factor 1 (Positive and Accepting Climate - Establishing Trusting Relationships), factor 3 (Involving in Group Process and Active Participation), and factor 5 (Learning from Interaction with Others).
