Analysis of Qualitative Research in the Korean Journal of Counseling and The Korean Journal of Counseling and Psychotherapy(2013~2017)

본 연구는 상담학 관련 국내 대표 학술지인 『상담학연구』, 『한국심리학회지: 상담 및 심리치료』에 2013년부터 2017년까지 게재된 논문 중 질적연구방법으로 수행된 총 125편의 연구에 대한 동향을 분석하려는 목적으로 실시되었다. 분석 결과를 2012년, 2013년에 실시되었던 질적연구동향 분석 결과와 비교할 때, 전체적인 연구의 편수가 증가하였으며 상담학에서 주로 활용된 질적연구방법은 현상학(47편, 37.6%), 근거이론(33편, 26.4%), 합의적 질적분석(26편, 20.8%) 으로 나타났다. 질적연구방법 중 활용빈도가 높은 현상학, 근거이론, 합의적 질적분석의 방법에 의한 연구에 대해, 연구된 내용, 연구대상, 그리고 연구대상자 수의 관점에서 추가 분석을 실시하였다. 합의적 질적분석의 경우, 상담자 및 상담수련생의 경험의 주제로 가장 많이 연구 되었고, 근거이론의 경우, 외상/어려움 경험 및 외상/어려움에서의 회복경험이 가장 많이 연구되었다. 또한 현상학의 경우, 특정한 경험을 지닌 참여자의 경험 자체를 연구한 경우가 가장 많이 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구 동향 분석 결과를 바탕으로 상담학 분야에서의 질적연구에 대한 시사점을 제시하고 후속 연구에 대한 제언을 하였다.The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends of the qualitative researches in the 『Korean Journal of Counseling』 and 『The Korean Journal of Counseling and Psychotherapy』 from 2013 to 2017. The result of the analysis showed that the number of overall researches during that period increased compared to the result of the study in 2012 and 2013. The primary research methods applied included phenomenology (37.6%), grounded theory (26.4%) and consensual qualitative research (20.8%). The study was conducted from the viewpoint of research topic, research subject, and the number of research subjects, using the methodology of phenomenology, grounded theory, and consensus qualitative analysis (CQR). In the case of consensual qualitative analysis, counselor’s experience was the most frequently studied topic. In case of grounded theory, experience of trauma and difficulty and the recovery from trauma and difficulty was the mostly frequently studied topic. In the case of phenomenology, participants’ experience in specific situation itself was studied the most. Based on the results of the research analysis, the implications were defined for the qualitative research in the field of counseling and suggestions were made for follow-up studies.

Personal growth initiative\u2019s relation to life meaning and satisfaction in a polish sample

This study aimed to develop and validate a Polish version of the Personal Growth Initiative Scale - II (PGIS-II; Robitschek et al. Journal of Counseling Psychology, 59(2), 274–287, 2012). The PGIS-II assesses skills for intentional cognitive, behavioral, or affective change in one’s life. These skills may promote positive mental health (Robitschek and Hershberger Journal of Counseling & Development, 83(4), 457–469, 2005) that could benefit Polish individuals following cultural and political transformation since the late 1980’s when Poland regained sovereignty from communism (Muszczynski 2015). The second aim of this study was to verify the hypothesis that Personal Growth Initiative (Robitschek Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 30, 183–198, 1998, Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 31, 197–210, 1999) may be related to life satisfaction indirectly via presence of meaning in life. Participants were 530 Polish citizens (65.1% female) aged 15–84. Participants completed the PGIS-II (Polish version) and measures to assess construct validity. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a 4-factor structure similar to the original PGIS-II structure, with slight differences in item loadings. Internal consistency estimates for the scale and subscales were adequate to strong. PGIS-II (Polish version) scores correlated positively with measures of well-being, providing evidence for concurrent validity of the scale. There was a significant indirect effect of PGI’s relationship with life satisfaction via presence of meaning in life. The Polish version of the PGIS-II shows sound psychometric properties and may be used with Polish populations.

Effectiveness of a Method for Teaching Self-Compassion to Communication Sciences and Disorders Graduate Students.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of a daily mindfulness practice and 2 types of journaling on participants' development of self-compassion. This was a between-groups design. All participants in a graduate counseling course engaged in a short daily mindfulness practice at the beginning of every class. Participants were randomly assigned to a counseling journal or a gratitude journal group. Participants were to write in their journals 2 to 5 times a week for the duration of the class. Participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003) and a questionnaire created by the 1st author before any mindfulness sessions were held and again at the completion of the course. Participants' level of self-compassion increased from pretest to posttest. The self-compassion scores of participants who kept counseling journals increased more than did those of participants who kept gratitude journals. Qualitative data indicated that participants believed that mindfulness was an important quality for clinicians to possess and that they were accepting of the daily mindfulness practice. Engaging in a 12-min daily mindfulness practice utilizing simple yoga postures, breath work, reflective writing, and journaling done at a separate time appears to be an effective technique for increasing students' levels of self-compassion. Maintaining a counseling journal as opposed to a gratitude journal appears to enhance the effect of the daily mindfulness practice on self-compassion.

Addressing Impact of Counseling Research: A Comparative Study of Counseling and Psychology Journals

ABSTRACTCounseling researchers, who often work for institutions that place significant value on journal impact factor (JIF), are faced with the choice to publish their manuscripts in professional counseling journals or those of other professions that might have higher JIFs. Publication and journal impact factor data for 6 American Counseling Association journals and 58 American Psychological Association journals were examined. Although both groups compared on issues per year and rejection rates, counseling journals averaged fewer articles per year and lower average impact factor. Implications and recommendations for increasing impact of counseling research publications are discussed.

A story illustrating narrative therapy in a crosscultural conversation with someone approaching death.

The following story uses ethnographic fiction to explore and illustrate the Narrative Therapy practices I might engage with when meeting with a Mäori woman who has a life-threatening illness. Ethnographic fiction blends truth and imagination to create a story that seeks to engage the reader in a situation that is both authentic and instructive, while respecting the limits of confidentiality. In this story I seek to illustrate how a Pākehā counsellor committed to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi might go about a therapeutic conversation with a Mäori woman for whom marginalising discourses and the colonisation of Aotearoa New Zealand have had a key role in shaping her experience of cancer.

Workplace counselling and the contemporary world of work.

In contemporary workplaces, many professionals struggle to cope with increasing pressures and aspects of workplace cultures that can have detrimental effects both personally and professionally. Counsellors can play an important role in supporting clients' functioning at work and their effective coping with work-related stressors. Practitioners providing counselling through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) and other work-related services regularly encounter clients experiencing stress, loss of confidence, and even burnout. It is also inevitable that counsellors in private practice and other settings have clients whose lives, relationships, and wellbeing are being adversely affected by unhealthy workplaces. Although professionals under stress may seek, or will be encouraged to seek counselling, they may experience challenges in and resistance to doing so. Much depends on the quality of engagement and support a counsellor is able to offer, and this relates not only to the practitioner's skills in establishing relationship, but also to their knowledge and understanding of the nature of contemporary workplaces. This article explores the significance of workplace roles and identities, the influence of contemporary working environments on professionals' identities and functioning, and work-related stress and coping, in order to raise practitioners' awareness of the challenges professionals face. Research into workplace counselling, and the implications for counsellors, are then considered.

Enhancing professional counselling practice with mindfulness meditation.

The purpose of this review was to gather evidence about the influence of mindfulness meditation on a counsellor's professional practice when approached as self-care. Relevant literature was searched and critically analysed, guided by an assessment of levels of evidence and an appraisal framework. Results indicated that as a self-care approach, mindful meditation may enhance professional practice by reducing stress and anxiety, yet increasing selfcompassion and personal confidence. The findings further revealed that the practice of mindfulness meditation has been associated with core counselling attributes such as clearer thinking, increased capacity for reflection, empathy, and compassion. Overall, however, the results do not provide conclusive evidence of a direct causal relationship between mindfulness meditation and enhancement of professional practice. Implications based on the evidence gathered are provided for individual practitioners and organisations.

Surviving and flourishing: A study of two counsellor educators' experiences of a year of peer supervision.

Increased economic pressure, reduced resources, new technologies and results-driven educational contexts place continual demands on counsellor educators. In the face of these, peer supervision has the potential to support and develop counsellor educators in their roles. This autobiographical study presents two senior counsellor educators' experiences of peer supervision. The year of peer supervision was recorded by one peer colleague in a reflective journal. Analysis of written conversations and goals concluded that the peer supervision relationship and reflective process were valuable in providing support, managing role demands, enhancing confidence, preserving wellbeing, offering peer modelling, promoting professional development, and supporting teaching performance.

New to school: Supporting secondary school students who move schools during the school year.

School mobility is a widespread problem in the student population of New Zealand secondary schools. It is an ongoing concern for schools, teachers, families, communities, and for students themselves. This article explores the reasons for the movement of secondary school students who change schools frequently. An understanding of the factors influencing this mobility is vital for school counsellors and others involved in pastoral care, because of the potentially related difficulties that may develop. Students may have varied and complex needs and the professionals involved will be better equipped and more responsive if they have this knowledge and understanding. Working with the pastoral care network, teaching staff, and the wider school community, school counsellors can have a further role in advocating for these students.
