This study aimed to investigate the relations between the transformation of the mother who had low esteem for her husband and the transformation of the high school student with behavior problem. 7 mothers-counseling cases in which clients (=mother) had low esteem for their husbands in intake guidance, were analyzed in terms of 8 target behaviors: mother's esteem for her husband, mother's own insight, mother's esteem for her son or daugter (IP = Identified Patient), etc.
The result was as follows: There were 4 cases in which the IP's problem was solved, and there were 3 cases in which the IP's problem was not solved. In 3 solved-cases, “Mother's possitive husband esteem” appeared befor the IP's problem was solved. But, in 2 un-solved cases, “Mother's possitive husband esteem” did not appear at all befor the IP's problem was solved.
The result indicated that there was some relation between the transformation of “Mother's husband esteem” and transformation of “IP's problem behavior”. But, it could not be said that there was one solved case without appearing “Mother's possitive husband esteem for her hasband” befor the IP's problem was solved, and there was one un-solved case where these occured another example of “Mother's possitive esteem for her husband”. So, it is necessary to investigate many more cases from now on.
Finally, the family system of solved-cases were analyzed in the same way, and it was suggested that the constellation of possitive linkage within “Mother-Father (husband)-IP” was formed in later counseling session.
