Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the current state of educational activities of the Korean Association of Family Therapy for training family counselors, including both degree (bachelor, master’s, and doctoral) and private non-degree programs.
Methods: We searched related degree/non-degree programs using search terms such as “family counseling” on Internet search engines. To supplement existing information and discover missing information about the schools/private institutions, interviews were conducted with experienced family counselors and researchers working in the related fields.
Results: We found four bachelor programs, 27 master’s programs, and two doctoral programs that offer family counselling majors. Since 2005, more schools have opened family counseling majors, and the curriculum has become more diverse and enriched. As of 2018, the number of private institutions that provide family counseling trainings has also increased significantly from 2005.
Conclusion: The field of family counseling in Korea is growing rapidly. However, with this quantitative growth, it is time for us to ask ourselves, “Where do we stand in 2018 and where are we going? Or, more importantly, where do we want to head?”
