Abstract

Objectives: Solution-focused(SF) group counseling has been used as an intervention in various clinical settings. However, there are not many systematic reviews showing the landscape of SF group counseling. The goal of this study was to understand the trends of SF group counseling studies published through Korean academic journals from 2007 to the first half of 2023. Methods: For this purpose, major search engines such as RISS were used to collect the data. Seventy-one articles were extracted. The research topics were analyzed applying content analysis. Results: Key findings were as follows. First, an increasing volume of research in SF group counseling has been conducted every year since 2007 but has declined sharply since 2020 likely due to the aftermath of COVID-19. Second, the research area of SF group
 counseling is expanding and diversifying. Third, despite the growth of research, there are not enough data available to judge the quality of the studies, the principles, and central philosophies of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and the dynamics of the groups. Conclusions: Based on the results, directions for follow-up research and practice were discussed.
