The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the clarity of counselor''s cognitive intention on counselor''s anxiety, and outcome of the counseling process. An intention clarity training group with eight sessions was implemented to study the effects of the training program。This study adopted matched-pair experimental design. The subjects were ten counselors of Taipei Teacher Chang and the interpersonal process recall (IPR) procedure was used to analysis the initial interview. The clients were twenty volunteers who were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. This instruments were used the Intention Clarity 9-point scales, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), The Session Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ).
The major findings were as follows: First, there was a negative correlation between counselor''s intention clarity and counselor''s anxiety level. This revealed that the higher the counselor''s anxiety level, the more disturbance in his or her cognition, which means that the counselor''s state-anxiety level will affect his or her understanding of the client''s problem and thus influences both the counselor''s ability in formulation and clarity in intention. Second, both the somewhat higher than normal level of counselor''s state-anxiety and the anxiety initiated by the experimental process were found to improve the outcome of the counseling process. Third, counselors who had trained in the intention clarity group had better awareness ability, better intention clarity expression and better outcome of the counseling process. This made clients feel more satisfactory, and the counseling process was deeper and smoother.
