Summary:博士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 諮商心理與人力資源發展學系輔導與諮商研究所 === 106 === The research aims to explore the client’s interactive counseling experience, the meaning of the experience, and further interpret the meaning of this experience on the basis of Object Relations Theory. A counselor and a client were invited to participate in this research. A total of 16 consultations were conducted and one set of interview data was obtained, which would be analyzed by means of hermeneutic phenomenology. The research showed: 1. The client’s interactive counseling experience (1) changes gradually from doubt to trust; (2) A crossing point is generated between the life experiences of the counselor and the client; (3) The counselor’s guidance built the foundation of self-growth. 2. The meaning of the client’s interactive counseling experience is: (1) In the initial phase—coordination; (2) In the middle phase—the build and divide of client-counselor relationship; (3) In the final phase—the transformation of the client and the closing of the case. 3. The meaning of the client’s interactive counseling experience based on Object Relations Theory: (1) The counselor becomes the object of projective identification and transference, providing a chance to develop positive object relation; (2) The counselor improves the sense of ease and security in the client by containing and being the transitional object; (3) The ideal object relation weakens the loyalty of the client toward inner object relation; (4) The counselor’s reverie should be carefully provided. To conclude, based on the research limitation and finding, seven suggestions were provided in terms of future research, counseling practices, and professional training.
