중국 유학생이 인식한 심리상담에서 도움이 된 요인과 도움이 되지 않은 요인

초록

This study explored helpful and unhelpful factors in psychological counseling as perceived by Chinese international students. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 Chinese international students. Participants’ statements were extracted and similarities were classified using Concept Mapping. The factors were organized into two dimensions, with a counselor’s cultural competence identified as a common element influencing both helpful and unhelpful perceptions. The analysis revealed that helpful factors were grouped into nine clusters, while unhelpful factors fell into six. It was found that client support and assistance in self-understanding, leveraging the client’s strengths and resources, were as highly valued as the counselor’s directive approach. Upon comparing the perceived importance of each factor between counselors and clients, clients highlighted the scarcity of practical information as the most significant concern. Based on the findings, in-depth discussions of practical implications, including the need for culturally appropriate counseling intervention strategies were made.
