본 연구에서는 단기상담 핵심기법과 발달단계별 상담자 역할 훈련프로그램이 상담자 발달수준 점수의 변화에 유의미한 효과가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 독립변수는 단기상담 훈련을 위한 3단계 프로그램(강진구, 2005) 중 제1, 2단계 훈련프로그램으로서, 피험자들에게 공감, 자기노출, 맞닥뜨림 등 단기상담 핵심기법을 훈련하고(5주 15시간), 이어서 단기상담 발달단계별 상담자 역할을 훈련하였다(6주 18시간). 종속변수는 상담자 발달수준척도(심흥섭, 1998) 점수로서, 훈련프로그램이 대학생들의 상담자 발달수준 점수를 유의하게 변화시키는지를 검증하였다. 연구대상은 충청지역 C대학교의 심리학 과 4학년 남녀 학생 26명이었다. 이들에게 사전, 사후1, 사후2, 추수검사로 4회 반복측정한 평균 점수를 HLM 6.0으로 다층분석한 결과, 검사시기별 상담자 발달수준 점수의 발달곡선에서 유의한 차이가 있었으나 개인배경변수인 성별 효과는 없었다. 본 연구의 의의는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 개발된 단기상 담 훈련프로그램의 효과를 11주 동안의 훈련과정으로 재검증하였다. 둘째, 개발된 프로그램은 상담자 발달수준 점수에 유의한 효과를 가져왔다. 셋째, 다층분석모형(HLM)으로 분석함으로써 시간에 따른 성장 효과와 개인배경변수의 효과를 규명하였다.

This study was based on the hypothesis that brief therapy training is an effective tool which could increase the efficiency of brief therapy operation. This study explored ways to evaluate the subsequent programs. The methods of the programs were based on previous studies including important training factors. The training programs were divided into two stages; first stage was to train basic counseling skills such as empathy, self-disclosure, and confrontation, and second was to train the roles of developmental stages of brief therapy elaborating the skills learned in the first stage. The major training methods utilized in these programs were modeling, role-playing, and peer interaction. The training subjects were consisted of 26 undergraduate-level students who enrolled in counseling practicum course. They were operated using the first stage program for 15 hours (3 hour sessions per week for 5 weeks each) and the second stage program for 18 hours (3 hour session per week for 6 weeks each). The results were analyzed by multilevel analysis method using HLM 6.0. The study shows the following results: The training programs increased counselor developmental level using by Korean Counselor Level Questionnaire(KCLQ) significantly. This result was statistically meaningful. But there`s no significant effect on the trainees` sex difference. After comparing the results of this study with previous literature, this study provides with the following conclusions. The training programs for brief therapists developed in the previous study is effective in increasing the counselor`s developmental level. This study also shows that the programs should be supplemented by supervision stage providing more intensive counseling experience in order to have effect on brief therapy.
