Abstract

Objectives This study was conducted to reveal the structure and meaning of negative experiences by counselors in educational analysis.
 Methods To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with 11 counselors who held counseling-related certificates and had more than 10 educational analysis experiences since the beginning of the training course. The result was analyzed with the phenomenological approach of van Manen(1990) in order to capture and reveal the meaning contained in their experiences.
 Results As a result of the analysis, 32 central meanings, 16 sub-themes, and 4 essential themes are revealed. The 4 essential themes are desire and thirst of counselors, disappointment and discouragement toward psychoanalysts, defence strategies of the counselors, and structural ambivalence of educational analysis.
 Conclusions The key topics derived from these findings were first, the psychological vulnerability of the counselors and the unmet need for dependence, second, the need for self-reflection and awareness of the counselors, third, the establishment of ethical and structural identity and the direction of educational analysis, and fourth, the necessity of containing and expanding psychoanalysts’ understanding of counselors.
