The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a narrative-oriented picture book group counseling intervention in enhancing emotional management skills and reducing negative emotional experiences among children with emotional disturbances. Adopting a quasi-experimental equivalent pretest–posttest control group design, the study enrolled 16 fifth- and sixth-grade students with emotional disturbances and assigned them to either an experimental group or a wait-list control group. The experimental group attended a six-week, 12-session intervention, whereas the control group received delayed treatment. All participants completed the“emotional experiences questionnaire for elementary school children”and the“emotion management scale for elementary school children”at the pretest, posttest, and five-week follow-up. The data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test. The results indicated that the narrative-oriented intervention significantly enhanced emotion management skills both immediately after the intervention and at the follow-up. Although no immediate reduction in negative emotional experiences was observed, considerable improvement in the occurrence of such experiences was noted at the follow-up. These findings support the integration of narrative-oriented techniques such as therapeutic documentation into school counseling practices. |
