This study aimed to investigate the interpersonal conflict issue among college students in the context of Chinese culture, and to investigate the outcome and how these clients go through the therapeutic process in the short-term counseling. It was designed to adopt an exploratory approach to study the counseling process.
At the end of 20 months study, 9 college students with significant difficulties
interpersonal conflict completed 12 sessions of dynamic-oriented short-term counseling. Audio-tapes were used to record data of both counselor’s and clients’ verbal content, Interpersonal Process Recall （IPR）was administered every three sessions, and the selected interpersonal episodes from the counseling transcripts were evaluated by follow-up in-depth
interview conducted by independent raters. Content analyses were also made to assess the effective factors as well as the level and quality of the alliance. The test scores on the counseling effect and the alliance were compared between the intake interviews and the post-therapy interviews.
The major findings were as the following : （1）In general, the outcome at the end of counseling was quite satisfactory, with majority marked improvement. （2）Among various effective factors, ‘guidance’ was remarkable that may reflect the supportive and educational-oriented connotation in the counseling relationship. （3）The general analysis of alliance showed that the working dimension was more difficult to develop compared to the affective dimension. （4）The four alliance patterns between the counselor and clients are ‘resistance’ , ’exploration’ , ’dependence’ , and ‘trustfulness’.（5）The counselor’s theoretical orientation are cognitive-behavior and problem-solving, which could be identified through IPR assessment, the validity of which could thus be appreciate. In conclusion, the preliminary finding is rather distinct and interesting from the cross-cultural perspective.
