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.
In this case, we approached an Alopecia client on the basis of therapist's epistemology which is based on the brief therapy. The purpose of this article is to represent a communication process which binds the client's narrative of his present behavior and estimation to direct toward a positive one. We applied questions as follows; which clarifies the client's problem; which clears vicious circle behavior and the exception as virtuous circle behavior ; which constructs therapeutic paradox ; which used reframing.
The client in this case had suffered from Alopecia for seven years. The session was held eight times, once about a month, and the problem was solved in relatively a short period.
This article described the case without any explanation, and discussed it along with the therapist's epistemology. And moreover, the concept of “bind” was re-defined by us. In general therapist have no weapon to the client other than language in broader meaning, whose property is to bind the receiver's behavior.
Finally, considering the therapist's epistemology a context, we proceeded with the therapy.
This paper is a part of study for proposing a new methodology for helping children with emotional problems. Clarifying chief complaints, symptoms, and problems, thus reviewing problem behaviors and problem-solving process from a new viewpoint, the author analyzes interview process of three cases of children with school refusal problems.
The first hypothesis is that parent's implicit aim for coming to counseling is solving their own problems. Thus ploblems of the child, parent, and all family from a circular and hierarchal stracture.
The second hypothesis is that it is bettre to deal with child problem first at initial stage by setting up a separate frame from parent's.
In this way parent problem can be handled effectively. Selection of suitable intervention skils for specific frame is important.
The third hypothesis is that recording the therapy process by the scoring method created by the author is useful.
This thesis aimed to examine the characteristics of family image of second year of junior high school students in Uigur and Japan. In this survey, Family image method is taken to a sample of 411 students in Uigur and of 203 students in Japan.
The main results obtained were as follows :
(1) The parental images of Uigur were quite different from those of Japan. In Uigur, a ninty percent of them imaged their parental relation as the most intimate relationship within their family. In Japan, only half of them imaged the parents were most intimate relationship within their families.
(2) In Uigur, the topographical placement of the parents were differential from the placement of themselves, and their generation boundaries were clear. Conpared to that, in Japan, the placement of their parents were similar to the placement of themselves, and their generation boundaries were not clear.
From these results, we found that when we think of our family image, the most important point was what kind of image children had of their parents.
