團體帶領者僵局經驗之初探性研究

Group Therapists' Experience of Group Impasse

文獻至今對於團體帶領者僵局經驗的探究仍甚少，基於了解團體僵局經驗之目的，本研究以發現取向之質性研究方法，採半結構式一對一深度訪談方式進行，探討團體帶領者僵局經驗之本質。本研究共邀請22位帶領者自願參與研究，分享他們印象最深刻的團體僵局經驗。研究參與者年齡在25-46歲之間，平均年齡34.4歲；團體諮商工作資歷在1個月至17年之間，平均年資為7.3年；諮商與心理治療相關專業工作年資在1個月至20年之間，平均專業工作年資為9.5年；其中4位男性，18位女性。研究結果發現，國內團體帶領者的僵局經驗主要可區分為五大類型：團體氣氛凝滯、成員反抗帶領者、成員間衝突、成員展現問題特質、以及帶領者間衝突等五類型的僵局經驗。有效的介入方式則包括：涵容自己的負面情緒，聚焦於此時此地，直接面對僵局現象與回應成員的感受與需求等。最後研究將針對上述僵局經驗進行描述與討論，並針對實務與未來研究提出建議。

The current study was to explore the group therapists' experience of group impasse. There were 22 group therapists (4 males and 18 females, age 25-46, mean age=34.4) with mean group counseling experience of 7.3 years and mean counseling experience of 9.5 years. Data were collected by individual in-depth interviews and analyzed by a discovery-oriented qualitative method. The findings indicated that there were five major types of group impasse experience: (a) group atmosphere impasse, (b) members' resistance against group therapists; (c) conflicts between members, (d) members' problematic characteristics, and (e) conflicts among therapists and co-therapists. The effective interventions were: (a) restraining negative feelings, (b) focusing on here and now, (c) directly facing group impasses and members' affects and needs. The detailed results and suggestions for further research and practice were discussed.
