2000년대 들어 상담에 대한 관심과 상담 수요가 크게 늘어가고 있는 상황에서 상대적으로 직무 특성상 상담자들 또한 심리적인 어려움들을 느끼면서 상담자 스스로 자신의 정신 건강 및 유지를 위한 자기돌봄의 중요성이 증가하고 있는 것이 사실이다. 상담자는 많은 시간을 내담자와의 직접적인 대면을 통해서 내담자의 다양한 문제에 대한 해결과 도움을 제공해 줌에 있어 지속적인 치료 과정을 함께한다. 상담자는 내담자와의 상황 대면을 통한 치료 과정을 함께하면서 치료의 긍정적인 면을 접하기도 하지만, 한편으로는 지속적인 스트레스로 인해 심리적 소진과 다양한 정서적 피로도를 경험하게 된다. 이에 다양한 심리적·정서적 소진과 피로도에 대해 적절하고 유연하게 대처하기 위해서는 상담자 스스로 자신을 보호할 수 있는 자기돌봄이 필요하며, 상담자 자신이 어떠한 상황에서도 긍정적인 마음을 유지 할 수 있는 자기효능감을 향상시키는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 마음 챙김에 기반한 MBSR 프로그램이 다양한 상담 현장에서 심리적 소진을 겪고 있는 상담자들의 심리적 안녕감, 특히 상담자의 자기돌봄 및 자기효능감에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 실제 현장에서 활동하고 있는 상담경력 1년에서 5년 미만의 상담자 40명을 대상으로 주 1회기, 회기 당 2시간의 총 12주간의 MBSR 프로그램을 통한 상담자의 자기돌봄 및 효능감의 변화가 상담자의 심리적 안녕감에 긍정적 요인으로 적용될 수 있다는 것을 확인하여 실제 상담 현장에서의 상담자들이 겪고 있는 심리적 소진의 완화를 통한 안정적인 상담 현장이 조성될 수 있도록 기여하고자 한다.

This study was conducted to explore important factors to consider when designing voice-based psychological counseling agents amid the increasing use of conversational agents in counseling and psychotherapy. 48 participants selected their preferred agent's voice among four types (young women and men, middle-aged women and men) and had a conversation with a psychological counseling agent. They also evaluated the reasons for voice selection, mood changes, perception of the agent's characteristics, and counseling outcomes. As a results, the agent's voice type selected according to the user's gender was not statistically significant. However, the qualitative analysis showed 'comfort' of the voice was an important factor. Next, the user's mood improved significantly after the conversation with the agent, which confirmed the intervention effect. Finally, it was found that expertness and attractiveness perceptions toward the agent contributed to the counseling outcomes. The implications of the study and suggestions for future research were discussed.

This study conducted surveys and in-depth interviews to explore the perception of sports psychology counseling among athletes. The participants included a total of 8 individuals: 307 athletes surveyed, 4 athletes who had received counseling, and 4 who had not. The survey investigated athletes' perceptions and management of psychological training, the perceived necessity of seeking advice for everyday concerns, willingness to use and perceived need for sports psychology counseling, prior experiences, and pre-engagement considerations. According to the survey results, 69.1% of athletes recognized the importance of mental training, but only 33.2% actually underwent psychological training. Furthermore, while 67.8% expressed a desire to receive education on psychological training from professionals, only 19.9% reported having searched for related information. When asked about their willingness to pay for sports psychology counseling services, 55.7% expressed willingness. Reasons for wanting to receive counseling, reasons for not wanting to receive counseling, and preferences or considerations for counseling sessions were listed as well. In the in-depth interviews, participants were classified into those who had received counseling and those who had not, delving deeply into motivations for seeking counseling or reasons for not doing so, perceptions during counseling sessions, considerations, preferred types of counselors, and program preferences. Based on this research, discussions and recommendations were provided with the perspective of utilizing sports psychology counseling as foundational data for providing high-quality services to users.

최근 전 세계적으로 불안감, 우울증 등을 비롯한 정신 건강 관리에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 특히 COVID-19 팬데믹 사태로 인해 경제적, 사회적으로 고립되는 시간이 길어지면서 정신 건강이 악화되고 있다. 한국의 경우도 심리상담을 받는 비율이 증가하는 등 정신 건강 관리의 수요가 높아지고 있다. 정신 건강 관리를 위한 여러 진입 장벽들을 극복하기 위해 개발된 비대면 심리상담들이 인기를 얻고 있다. 특히, 인공지능 기술과 정신 건강 관리를 결합하려는 시도가 많아지고 있으며, 미국, 중국 등 해외에서는 이미 워봇(Woebot), 유퍼(Youper) 같은 심리상담 챗봇이 상용화되어 서비스 중이다. 그러나 한국에서의 심리상담 챗봇은 아직까지 해외만큼 상용화 단계에 이르지 못했다. 또한, 이러한 챗봇을 구축하기 위한 데이터셋 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 익명 심리 플랫폼을 통하여, 심리전문가가 비식별화한 고민과 해당 고민에 대한 전문가 답변을 활용하여 구축한 MICA를 소개한다. 또한, 본 데이터셋을 활용해 딥러닝 기반의 언어 모델을 학습하고 정량적, 정성적 성능 평가를 통해 챗봇의 가능성을 확인하였다.

There is a growing interest in psychological counseling and pyschotherapy and many experts are working to help clients more efficiently. Given the many advantages of cyber counseling can be a good alternative to traditional face-to-face counseling. This paper examines the trends of cyber counseling and psychotherapy in South Korea. As a result, when comparing traditional counseling with cyber counseling, cyber counseling had advantages such as high accessibility, convenience, cost reduction effect, and inconvenience in face-to-face counseling. In addition, cyber counseling in South Korea began in the late 1980s, and many studies were conducted for teenagers who are familiar with ICT. Lastly, I briefly researched the current status of cyber counseling and psychotherapy in South Korea. Currently, more active cyber counseling and psychotherapeutic interventions are being carried out using images, AI, and VR. However, because the interdisciplinary approach is somewhat lacking, it is necessary to develop various counseling and psychotherapy programs and verify the effectiveness through the interdisciplinary approach.

Then, the content validity and facial validity were verified by the counseling experts with a first-degree qualification as a counselor in Korean Counselling Psychological Association, and a total of 20 final questions of 4 areas. The final questions were conducted on psychological counselors(N=306) to investigate reliability and validity. As a result of conducting an exploratory factor analysis, validity of the two-factor structure have been verified. And In the confirmatory factor analysis, two factors were shown to be appropriate. The two-factors were named 'The collection and utilization of information' and 'Association with the Organization of Information'. Also, the scale of final selection of questions were found to have a good degree of concurrent validity, interitem consistency and test-retest reliability. The implications of the present study is significant in that it is a measure of community resources linkage capability scale of counselors. In addition, this scale is expected to be useful in Wee Class, Wee Center, Youth Counseling Welfare Center, and other counseling sites.
