九位冒險治療實務工作者的對話：投入動機與發展歷程探究

Dialogue with Nine Adventure Therapy Practitioners: Exploring Their Motivation of Job Involvement and Process of Development

冒險治療是一種結合諮商輔導、心理治療與互外的一種專業，引進到臺灣已經有十多年，同時越來越多的本土實證研究也證實冒險治療所能帶來的效益。為了瞭解臺灣冒險治療工作者之投入動機與發展歷程，因此以質性研究中的深度訪談法，透過滾雪球抽樣方式，針對「投入之動機」與「發展歷程」兩大主題為核心概念，蒐集九位冒險治療工作者的看法。結果發現：在投入動機部分，主要是：「看見改變發生」、「與過去經驗有關」、「傳統諮商輔導問題」及「自我期許」四個主要概念；在「發展歷程」之下：過去發展部分，有「源自體驗教育」與「產官學的努力」兩個主要概念；發展現況部分，則有「目前大環境的問題」與「專業性不足」兩個主要概念；未來發展上，則有「讓更多人認識冒險治療」、「提供更好的訓練平台」、「跨專業的學習」與「等待改善環境」等四個主要概念。最後，研究者提供未來研究議題及建議，以增加本研究之貢獻。

Adventure Therapy (AT) was a treatment which combined counseling, psychological therapy as well as outdoor professionals and was introduced into Taiwan for more than ten years. In recent years, more and more empirical researches in Taiwan proved the effects for AT. In order to explore the practitioners’ motivation of job involvement and process of development for adventure therapy in Taiwan, qualitative research of in-depth interview and snowball sampling were used. “Motivation of job involvement” and “process of development” were two thematic core concepts. Data were collected from nine adventure therapy practical workers. As a result, the motivation of job involvement was divided into four main concepts:(1) seeing the changes happen, (2) having related to the past experiences, (3) traditional counseling problems and (4) self-expectation. In the process of development, in the past development of AT, two main concepts: (1) coming from experiential education and (2) the dedications of industry-government-academic. Now the situations were two main concepts:(1)the environment problems, and (2) inadequate professions. In the future of development were four main concepts: (1) the development must let more people know, (2) provided a good platform, (3) trans-disciplinary learning and (4) wait for the improvements of environment. In the end, the researchers also provided future research topics and suggestions to make more contributions.
