The purpose of this study is to investigate the nature of the personal development and professional development experience of a solution-focused counselor in training, and the correlation between personal and professional development. For the purpose of the study, six solution-focused counselors in training were selected as participants by using the Giorgi phenomenological description method as a systematic case selection, snowball sampling, and objective sampling. From June to July 2020, data were collected and analyzed through in-depth interviews, organized into a total of 357 central meanings, 69 semantic units, and 16 sub-components, and then derived through 4 components. The results of the study were that first, counselors entered the training process on their own, and during the training, they perceived suitability with the characteristics of solution-centered counseling theory and practiced solution-centered thinking and behavior. Second, counselors in training reaffirmed their strengths through solution-focused conversations and supervision of senior counselors, and their passion for solution-focused increased. Third, counselors wanted to continue their solution-centered philosophy and perspective while maintaining the ‘initial mind’ that they had immersed themselves in for the first time as experts. The implications of the study results are first. Counselors had personal growth experiences that improved their reflection and understanding due to their characteristics and the suitability of the training counseling theory. Second, it is necessary for counselors to actively practice solution-oriented counseling theory in actual clinical settings. Third, counselors in training try to maintain their ‘beginner mind’ without giving up their curiosity, passion, and loyalty to counseling theory for their professionalism as solution-focused counselors. The limitations and suggestions of this study are presented.

Using Literary Works to Teach Psychopathology: A Qualitative Document Analysis Regarding Alcohol Use Disorder

Bringing real-life cases to the educational environment and presenting them to students is one of the main goals of psychology. However, this is unfortunately not as easy as it is said, both ethically and practically. Since the educational materials to be offered to students on this subject are insufficient, academics and lecturers recommend that their students read case studies in psychopathology lessons or watch videos depicting certain disorders. While the use of films in both national and international literature in psychology and psychological counselling theories and practices is increasing, it is thought-provoking that there is no similar interest/attempt in reading literary works. Despite the (not)reading rates, the using literary works in students' education is overshadowed by films constitutes the main motivation of this studyusing literary works in students' education is overshadowed by films, which constitutes this study's main motivation. In this sense, the main purpose of the research is to provide an example of how literary works can be used in psychopathology teaching.

Positive Psychology and Therapy Animals: A Conceptual Integration for Counseling Practice

Animal-assisted therapy in counseling (AAT-C) provides several key enhancements to counseling practice, including the promotion of emotional regulation and social skills. Various approaches exist for integrating counseling theories with AAT-C; however, the inclusion of therapy animals in positive psychology practice has yet to be explored in the counseling literature. In this article, we propose an integrated counseling treatment approach that blends AAT-C with the PERMA (positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment) theory of well-being. We review key concepts of PERMA and AAT-C, as well as delineate the beneficial mental health effects of human–animal interactions through the theoretical underpinnings of positive psychology. We then link animal involvement in AAT-C to specific intervention strategies and the understood mechanisms of change described in the PERMA model, followed by the description of a brief hypothetical counseling case example. We conclude with ethical considerations and implications for clinical mental health counseling practice and research.

KAYGIYLA BAŞA ÇIKMADA İNŞİRÂH/HİSLERİ GENİŞLETME: KURAMSAL BİR MODEL DENEMESİ

Bu çalışmada, zor yaşam olaylarına maruz kalan bir insanın yaşadığı kaygıyla başa çıkabilmesinde, “Kur’an temelli inşirâh (hisleri genişletme) kavramı üzerinden yerel bir model önerilebilir mi?” sorusuna cevap aranmaktadır. Amacı ise “Biz senin göğsümü genişletmedik mi?” (İnşirah suresi, 1) ayetine dayanarak yaşanan psikolojik sorunlara karşı algı ve hisleri genişletmenin işlevsel değerini ortaya koymak, buradan hareketle bilim dünyasına evrenselle yereli harmanlayan, Doğu bilgeliğiyle Batının bilimselliğini iç içe sokan kuramsal bir model denemesi sunmaktır. Veriler literatür taramasına dayalı olarak toplanmış, betimsel analiz tekniğiyle çözümlenmiştir. Kaynaklardan edinilen bilgilere göre inkıta-ı vahiy (vahyin bir müddet kesilmesi hadisesi) yaşadığı dönemde iç ve dış faktörlerin etkisiyle kaygı ve endişe düzeyi ziyadesiyle yükselen Hz. Peygamber, zihinsel ve duygusal açıdan sıkıntılı günler geçirmiştir. Bununla birlikte o, Duhâ suresinin nüzulü ile kendisini rahatsız eden duygu ve düşüncelerden (kaygı halinden) kurtulmuştur. İnşirah suresinde ise Hz. Peygamberin yaşadığı sıkıntılı hallerden neden ve nasıl kurtulduğuna yönelik psikolojik izahlar mevcuttur. Duhâ ve İnşirâh surelerinde vurgulanan hususları çözümleyecek ve günümüz kavramlarıyla ifade edecek olursak şu tespiti yapabiliriz: Her iki surenin nüzul sebebi, anlamı ve verdiği mesajlar; kısmen bilişsel davranışçı, kısmen fenomenolojik, kısmen varoluşçu danışma kuramları kapsamında değerlendirilebilecek özgün bir model içermektedir. Ancak vurgulamak gerekir ki söz konusu özgünlük, Batılı yaklaşımların eklektik bir şekilde sunumundan değil İslam bilgi anlayışı ve insan modelinden kaynaklanmaktadır. “İnşirah” modelinde insan, kartezyen felsefeden mülhem bilinç-beden, şekil-öz, madde-mana, fizik-metafizik ayrımına tâbi değildir. Bu nedenle bahsi geçen çağdaş psikolojik danışma kuramları için “kısmen” ifadesi özellikle kullanılmıştır. Çünkü inşirah modelinde sadece bilişsel düzeyde yanlış ve mantıksız düşüncelerden kurtulmak değil göğsün genişle(til)mesi de önemlidir. Bu bağlamda, inşirâh ya da hisleri genişletme haline yönelik açıklamalar ve verilen örnekler, Kur’an-ı Kerim ve İslam kültürüne dayalıdır. Bununla birlikte önerilen model her ne kadar yerellik içerse de Batılı kuramlara bütünüyle ters değildir.

아버지의 외도를 경험한 성인자녀의 성찰경험에 대한 자문화기술지

The present study aimed to what background children have who experienced father’s infidelity and examined the process of understanding and overcoming father’s infidelity in terms of multicultural social justice. The research question was set to What did I experience through my father’s infidelity? and was conducted by applying a reflective autoethnography research method to explore how the father’s infidelity was affected by the researcher’s life trajectory and how the researcher lives in the context of multicultural social justice. The results of the study show that the first category is 〈facing my father in 25 years〉, the second category is 〈stagnant life tied up in the past〉, the subcategory is 〈looking at parents as an individual〉, 〈bid male discourage〉, 〈beast capitalism〉, the third category is 〈digging out father’s love in a grave〉, the fourth category is 〈traveling to find me〉 and the subcategory is 〈coming out of the cave I made〉, 〈finding me through my mother〉, 〈my changes my parents feel〉. Through the results of the study, the practical implication of this study was to understand infidelity as an integrated perspective by analyzing the sociocultural context in which infidelity is inevitably viewed negatively, the understanding of each individual’s positionality and positionality surrounded by the social justice aspects. In addition, counseling theories such as multiculturalism and social justice conducted a reflective analysis to expand awareness of cultural prejudice, social discrimination, and oppression in the study of autoethnography

학교상담 역량에 대한 초등 전문상담교사와 중등 전문상담교사의 요구도 차이 비교 연구

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the needs of the school counseling competency of elementary and secondary school counselors in order to ascertain whether there is a difference in the required competencies of school counselors depending on the school level. Methods: An online survey was carried out with 211 school counselors across the country, and 209 responses were utilized for analysis. The competency needs were then analyzed and the priority was determined using the overlap of the Borich’s formula and the The Locus for Focus model. Results: In common with elementary and secondary school counselors, the first priority competency needs were ‘understanding students’ and ‘improvement of professionalism’. ‘professional attitude’ was identified as the first priority competency need in elementary school and identified as the second priority competency need in secondary school. In addition, the ‘theory and technique of counseling’ was the second priority competency need for both elementary and secondary school counselors. On the other hand, ‘parent and teacher consultation’, ‘utilization of community resource’ and ‘communication and cooperation’ were identified as the second priority competencies only for elementary school counselors. For secondary school counselors, ‘role harmonization’ and ‘adaptation to school organization’ were classified as the second priority competencies. Conclusion: Based on the research results, this study was able to derive implications for improving the training curriculum and education for school counselors in areas such as supporting supervision and case study groups for the development of school counselors’ professionalism.

Using a Consultation Assignment to Enhance Trainees’ Understanding and Implementation of Consultation and Social Justice in Career Counseling

Social justice advocacy and career counseling are foundational competencies for counseling professionals. However, training in advocacy and consultation outside of the classroom (i.e., in the community) is infrequent and career counseling courses, despite conceptualizing systemic issues, often focus on individual-level interventions. There is an opportunity to merge these competencies into a single experience for graduate trainees. Graduate students in a clinical psychology master’s program completed a pilot, semester-long assignment in their career counseling class, which required them to work as consultants to organizations on a social justice oriented, career counseling focused project. We used a multi-method qualitative approach to analyze students’ career theory knowledge and application and social justice advocacy. Data were generated through students’ written assignments. Using coding reliability thematic analysis, data indicated most students were able to describe consultant and individual difficulties from an advocate and social justice framework, but about half the students struggled to integrate these social justice frames into career counseling theories and interventions. Five themes relating to student development emerged (e.g., recognizing privilege, self-efficacy), alongside three themes related to the logistics of the assignment design and implementation. Results are discussed alongside how to improve the assignment.

활동이론의 관점에서 인간중심 상담공동체의 수련 활동체계 분석

This study is a case study that analyzed the training activity of a person-centered counseling community. The purpose of the study is to analyze the activity system of counselor training as a context for a community of practice for learning, and Engeström’s activity theory was used as a framework for analysis. For this purpose, six trainees who had participated in the training activity of A counseling institute for 3~5 years participated in the study, and interviews and class observations were conducted. As a result of the analysis, the six components of the activity system were identified, and contradictions within and between the components, and between activity systems were identified. In the activity system of the counselor training, supervisors and trainees participated as “subjects” in the activities to achieve the “object” of being a person-centered counselor; and “mediating artifacts” between subject and object were the person-centered counseling theory, the supervisor as a tool, modeling techniques, and person-centered culture. The counseling “community” was operated based on the implicit “rules” of autonomy, openness, and acceptance and the autonomous “division of labors” of clients, observers, and counselors. As the activity theory emphasizes contradictions as a core principle of community development, there are three major contradictions found in the activity system. First, confusion among “subjects” was indicated as a contradiction within an activity component; Secondly, objectification of the tool and the conflict among communities, subjects, and rules were identified as a contradiction between components; Lastly, as a contradiction between activity systems, a dilemma caused by the conflict of world views was identified. These contradictions were overcome by “exposure”, “awareness”, “expansion of perspective”, and “solidification of identity”. Based on the results, the concept of a counseling community was presented as an educational alternative to the counseling training process.

段建業 盲派命理에 관한 연구

Maengpa Myeongli(盲派命理), which foresees the GilHyeungHwaBok(吉 凶禍福) of the destiny based on the Sajupalja(四柱八字) was introduced to Korea from the blind people who were telling divination in China. Then, it was handed down and spread by the people having normal eyes who are telling divination. However, since the considerable parts of the data with regard to Maengpa Myeongli are hidden, everything in fact has not been proven even in the case of the Maengpa Myeongli theory that is being applied. This study discussed and systematized the overall contents of the Maengpa Myeongli theory, thereby exerting to seek a way of utilizing it.
 Maengpa Myeongli, which is being discussed in the divination-telling market of the Korea, generally refers to the Maengpa Myeongli of Tuan Jianye(段建 業). The Maengpa Myeongli of Tuan Jianye, which flowed into Korea in the 2000s, reveals its theory both in educational settings and Saju counseling of individuals. Tuan Jianye created a new theory of Myeongli by adding his own method of interpreting Sajupalja to the practical know-how that was conveyed from his Blind master(盲師) and this is referred to as the Maengpa Myeongli of Tuan Jianye. The theories of such a Maengpa Myeongli include Libub(理 法), Sangbub(象法), and Gibub(技法), which should be appropriately used in combination with each other depending on the case.
 Since it is based on Japyeong Myeongli(子平命理), one of the theoretical characteristics claimed by Maengpa Myeongli is in that it does not care about the Soewang(衰旺) of Ilju(日主). Moreover, it does not consider Gyeokguk(格局) and Yongsin(用神). In addition, the technique, which adds Maengsagugyeol(盲師口訣: the know-how of the Blind master) to SaenggeukjJehwa(生剋制化) of Ohaeng(五行), is being used to interpret the Sajupalja of individuals. When interpreting Saju of an individual foreseen in the Myeongli book, the Sajupalja of an individual in the case of Maengpa Myeongli was interpreted using the placement of Ch’eyong(體用), Binju(賓主), Ganjibaechi(干支配置) and the names of Neungryang(能量) and Hyoyul(效率) instead of the concepts of Gyeokguk and Yongsin as well as the Soewang of Ilju.

Show Me the Real You: Enhanced Expression of Rogerian Conditions in Therapeutic Relationship Building with Autistic Adults.

Research in psychotherapy and counseling theory has shown the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship. However, in the context of working with autistic adults, the relationship appears to be de-emphasized, or "different approaches" are recommended without specifying these. Neglect of relationship building may contribute to autistic adults' negative experiences with health care professionals identified in previous studies. I interviewed 17 autistic adults about their relationship building experiences with a wide range of professionals primarily from mental and medical health backgrounds. I also interviewed two mental health counselors and one psychologist who had experience working with this client group and had been recommended by autistic participants. I elicited best practice recommendations from all participants. I analyzed the data in an interpretive-interactionist framework and present them through creative analytic practice. I address one major theme in this article: the importance of Rogerian/person-centered relationship conditions. All had to be practiced in an enhanced way: (1) Enhanced congruence could be demonstrated through therapist self-disclosure and refraining from phony relationship building "techniques" such as vocal adjustments. (2) Enhanced empathy could be demonstrated through genuine listening and accurate interpretation; however, interpretation needed to be phrased tentatively. (3) Enhanced unconditional positive regard could be demonstrated through explicit verbal expression, practical demonstration, and remembering. Results largely mirrored research with non-autistic populations: different approaches were not needed for relationship building. Participants emphasized the importance of Rogers' person-centered conditions and described pivotal relationship building moments associated with enhanced expression of these conditions.

The theory of correctional counseling and modern challenges - focusing on human-centered psychotherapy -

수용자들의 바람직한 수용소 적응과 사회 복귀시 건전한 사회생활을 위하여 교정상담은 필수적이나 교정상담 관계자들의 소통부재와 적절한 상담기법의 미비 등으로 문제가 발생하고 있으며 교정현실에서 효과적인 상담기법에 대한 논의가 활발히 진행되지 못하고 있어 이에 관한 심층적 연구가 필요하다. 교정상담의 이론을 살펴보고 이의 기초위에 상담기법의 모습과 현대적 과제를 제시하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 다양한 접근 중 심리치료모형에 따라 정신분석적 상담에 연구의 범위를 한정한다. 주로 문헌연구와 자료, 그리고 교정상담기법의 현황분석에 따른 현대적 과제를 검토하였다. 연구결과 교정상담 기법의 현대화, 교정상담 인적 인프라의 전문화, 위기상황에 따른 전략수정필요, 수용자 전문병원(일반, 정신)설치 등이 필요하다는 것을 알게 되었다. 이 연구가 21세기 첨단교정의 선진화라는 교정목표를 달성하는데 일조가 될 것으로 기대한다.In-depth study is needed for correctional counseling, which is essential for inmates to adapt to the prison and to live a healthy social life when returning to society, as problems arise due to a lack of communication among people concerned with correctional counseling and a lack of appropriate counseling techniques, etc. but discussions on effective counseling techniques are not actively progressing in the reality of correction.

A Local Approach Toward Multicultural Counseling in Malaysia

Malaysia is a multicultural and multi-religious country. The importance of multicultural counseling has been widely recognized and discussed. Counselors need to be multiculturally-knowledgeable when dealing with multicultural clients. The effectiveness of counseling may likely be improved by integrating Malaysian approaches that are tailored to this country’s traditions and insights, into the current conventional counseling practices. Most of these counseling and psychotherapy theories are based on, and biased towards, the Euro-American culture. Novice counselors in particular frequently reported a lack of skills in dealing with culturally-diverse clients. Multicultural counseling competency is an evolutionary progress that is meant to achieve an effective treatment, and greater inclusion of minorities in mainstream society. Therefore, this paper highlights multicultural counseling competencies and the evolution of counseling in Malaysia. Using narrative method literature review, this paper presents local approaches toward counseling in Malaysia, based on various religions, which are specifically focused on an Islamic approach. This paper then compares and contrasts the local approaches with those of the conventional Western based counseling methods. Some recommendations that merit further investigation are highlighted for future studies.

Leave No Trace, Willful Unknowing, and Implications From the Ethics of Sustainability for Solution-Focused Practice Outdoors 🇨🇳 🇹🇼 🇩🇪 🇮🇷 🇪🇸

Taking talking therapy outdoors is becoming increasingly popular, especially gaining traction in response to COVID restrictions on what can be done face-to-face indoors, and with increasing awareness of benefits from being outdoors in nature (Ewert & Davidson, 2021). In this paper, we draw on ethics of sustainability from the outdoor activity sector to look for metaphors for therapeutic practice outdoors, especially solution-focused brief therapy. We start with what is currently regarded as good practice for the preservation and conservation of the environments and habitats we frequent. We then develop these tenets of ethics, such as Leave No Trace, as metaphors for deliberate solution-focused therapeutic work outdoors, especially with regard to honoring the voices of our clients. Metaphors are provided to demonstrate why, and how, outdoor therapy practitioners should aim to ‘leave no trace’ in the lives of those they serve, as they would leave no trace of their presence on the land they travel. We illustrate how our practice can draw on sustainability ethics to enable the decolonization of our solution-focused outdoor work (Mlcek, 2017), and consider how a privilege-aware approach to practice can be used to help ‘decolonize’ therapeutic practice. We suggest that solution-focused approaches to outdoor therapy require additional work in counseling theory and ethics to supplement outdoor leadership qualifications.
