Abstract

Based on previous studies that cognitive complexity and coping flexibility are closely related with psychological adaptibility, it can be inferred that they can influence management ability of countertransference in counselling. This study focused on the influence of counselor's cognitive complexity and coping flexibility on the management ability of countertransference in counselling. The survey was conducted on 128 (female 108, male 20) counselors of college counseling center, general counseling center, schools and hospitals. The study employed flexibility scale measures, interpersonal discrimination test, and countertransference factors inventory. The results was that the level of cognitive complexity did not influence countertransference ability whereas the level of coping flexibility influenced countertransference management ability. In multiple regression, it was evidenced that coping flexibility influence countertransference management ability more than cognitive complexity. In sum, our study indicate that coping flexibility is important to enhance the management ability of countertransference in counselling, and that related counsellor training program should be developed in the future.

인지 복합성과 대처 유연성은 심리적 적응에 밀접한 관계를 가진다는 기존 연구에 근거한다면 상담의 주요과정인 역전이 관리능력에도 정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 추론할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상담자의 인지 복합성과 대처 유연성이 역전이 관리능력에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 본 연구를 위해 서울 및 수도권 소재의 대학생활 상담소, 상담센터, 학교, 병원 등에 근무하는 상담자 128명(여 108명, 남 20명)을 대상으로 하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 상담자의 인지 복합성 수준에 따른 역전이 관리능력에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 상담자의 대처 유연성의 수준에 따라서는 역전이 관리능력에 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 또한 중다회귀에서 역전이 관리능력에 있어서 대처 유연성이 인지 복합성에 비해 보다 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 역전이 관리능력을 함양하기 위한 방안으로 상담자의 대처유연성을 향상시키는 것이 중요함을 시사하며 이에 초점을 둔 상담자 훈련 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
