Objective: This study examines the therapeutic factors of a Satir Model counseling group for middle-aged adults and its effects on their interpersonal communication. Method: A quasi-experimental design was utilized with an eight-week intervention based on the Satir Model. The experimental group consisted of six participants aged 51-58, with a control group matched by gender, age, parenthood status, and occupation. Instruments included the Chinese version of Yalom's Therapeutic Factors Scale and the Taiwanese version of the Satir Communication Stances Inventory. Descriptive statistics and a non-parametric U-test were employed to analyze changes in therapeutic factors and communication stances pre- and postintervention. Semi-structured interviews with the experimental group provided qualitative insights into therapeutic processes. Results: Pre-test rankings of therapeutic factors such as altruism, universality, and catharsis declined in the post-test, while existential factors, hope instillation, and group cohesion remained prominent throughout the intervention. The“blaming”communication stance significantly differed between groups post-intervention(experimental mean = 2.28; control mean = 1.33; U = 2.00**). Qualitative interviews indicated increased self-awareness of blaming behaviors among participants. The top communication stances across both groups were congruence, placating, and compromising. Conclusion: The Satir Model effectively enhanced interpersonal awareness and provided significant therapeutic benefits, including existential support, hope, and group cohesion, for middle-aged participants. |
