Abstract

|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to provide an in-depth and systematic understanding of the structure and process of countertransference experiences of family counselors, and to develop a substantial theory on the countertransference experience.
Methods: The Grounded Theory method was applied to in-depth interviews with 12 participants who had more than 10 years of clinical experience with 1st or 2nd class licenses issued from the Korean Association of Family Therapy.
Results: 255 concepts, 71 subcategories and 21 categories were derived with open coding. The relationship between these categories was presented as a paradigm model. Through process analysis the following five stages were found: aware, contemplate, get insight and understanding, integrate, and master. Selective coding further identified three types: monitoring-self, reflecting-client, and opening-self feelings.
Conclusions: It was found that the countertransference experience of family counselors was associated with maintaining neutrality, prefacing an understanding of inner psychological aspects as well as interpersonal relations among family members. Results suggest that more studies and discussions may be required surrounding the countertransference experience of family counselors.
