협의이혼 상담에서 상담자의 진정성 경험에 관한 합의적 질적연구

Abstract

This study attempted to analyze the meaning of authenticity perceived by consensual divorce counselors, how the counselor’s authenticity is promoted, and how the counselor’s authenticity affects counseling performance. For this purpose, ten uncontested divorce counselors were interviewed in depth and the data were analyzed using Consensual Qualitative Research(CQR). The data were drawn into a total of 5 areas, 11 sub-areas, and 42 categories. First, the uncontested divorce counselors conceptualized authenticity as an attitude to understand and accept the client’s problem and to have a willingness to help. Second, counselor’s effort and client’s positive response were the factors to promote counselor’s authenticity. Third, the obstacles to the counselor’s authenticity were the client’s resistance and rejection, the counselor’s motivation and passion, and the situational limitations. Fourth, counselors’ personal coping and counselors’ coping were found to be the recovery factors of counseling divorce counselors’ authenticity. Fifth, it was found that the effect of the authenticity manifestation of the uncontested divorce counselor was that the client’s perception changed, the counselor became proud as a counselor, and the result of successful counseling was obtained. Therefore, since authenticity affects therapeutic effect in counseling relationship, it is suggested that efforts should be made to develop authenticity of uncontested divorce counselors.
