Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The authors developed and studied the effects of a solution-focused and positive-psychology group counseling program for improving the self-esteem and parent-adolescent communication of university students.
Method: The participants were eight university students who had a problem with self-esteem and difficulties in their relationship with their parent. The students participated in a total of eight 90-minute sessions of a solution-focused and positive-psychology group counseling program. The researchers performed the Mann-Whitney U Test and the Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test to determine whether the counseling program was effective.
Results: The solution-focused and positive psychology group counseling program improved self-esteem and parent-adolescent communication in university students.
Conclusions: Through the analysis of the students¡¯ experience and their therapeutic changes, the authors offer implications for this unique counseling approach and for family counseling in general.
