碩士 === 國立臺中教育大學 === 諮商與應用心理學系碩士班 === 106 === The purpose of this study is to explore the experience of counseling relationships between junior high school counselors and involuntary clients through narrative methods. With the narration of three female junior high school counselors, I understand: (i) What is the process of counseling relationship changes between counselors and clients under the involuntary counseling? (ii) What is the implied guiding belief in the perception and action of the relationship between counselors and involuntary clients? The collected information is based on the "holistic-formal" analysis framework proposed by Lieblich et al. The specific analysis strategy is to use Hu Yaomin's narrative structure analysis. The results obtained are as follows: I. The process of counseling relationship changes This study explores three cases. Among them, one counselor has experienced a declining relationship in the initial stage. But through the self-reflection and continuous intervention of the counselor, the relationship turns around. The other two counseling relationships show a steady rise overall. In accordance with the process, the relationship can be summarized into six key periods. The first period is "panic and stability". Counselors stabilize themselves, show affability and concern, and put down the authoritarian, so that the clients perceive equity and trust. The second period is "promotion and turning point". Counselors question and listen without judging the clients. They give the domination of subjects to the clients, and set and adjust the counseling goals according to their needs. The third period is "deepening and broadening". Counselors go into the clients’ life space outside the main school, enhance their knowledge of the clients, and actively use systematic resources to build a supportive environment for the clients. The fourth period is "restoration of parent-child relationship". Counselors nourish and strengthen the clients’ ego. They can eventually face their parents who have hurt their feelings. The fifth period is "integrating and the end". Counselors show the care of the whole person's mind and guard clients until graduation. The sixth period is "extension of relations". The counseling relationship has been extended to a long-standing relationship like teachers and friends. II. Counselors’ beliefs about cases Three counselors’ perceptions and actions in the process of counseling relationship show three types of counseling beliefs: (i) The viewpoints on human nature and personality development: They firmly believe that human nature is good, showing the care of the whole person's mind, and there are vulnerabilities of teenagers in the development stages. (ii) The attitude of counseling relationship: Equality and respect, stable companionship, defending the interests of the clients, and the main demands for the clients as a priority (positive counter-transference). (iii) The roles of counseling: Flexible use of multiple roles in counseling relationship, making good use of systematic resources and building a supportive environment in the working system. Based on the above findings, this research proposes research proposals that provide future relevant research or help-workers as a reference.
