本研究針對國小中年級父母離異兒童進行繪本閱讀團體諮商,研究目的為:(一)探索繪本閱讀應用於父母離異兒童團體諮商之學習經驗;(二)探討繪本閱讀應用於父母離異兒童團體諮商之團體轉變情形;(三)探討繪本應用在父母離異兒童團體諮商中所發揮的功能,因此設計為期十次以繪本閱讀為媒介的團體諮商方案,用以協助父母離異兒童族群進行團體諮商。 本研究採「質性研究法」之方式,透過參與觀察、訪談、文件分析為主要資料蒐集策略,以「主題分析法」做資料分析,研究結果如下: (一) 成員參與繪本閱讀團體之學習經驗,包括「願意脫離想像,了解爸媽離異原因」、「對關係議題有所覺察」、「抒發痛苦經驗,學習表達情感」、「對情緒的認知及覺察,並獲得情緒因應方法」、「人際關係的學習與因應」、「練習表達和展現珍貴的自己」。 (二) 成員在團體歷程之變化,分別有「談新生-從『繞他人轉』到『為自己轉』的自我議題」、「談自由-從『過街老鼠』到『對的存在』的依附議題」、「談邁進-從『想像虛構』到『認清現實』的離異議題」、「談探索-從『套牢』到『解套』的情緒議題」、「談怡然-從『後母情結』到『姑且停看聽』的新成員議題」。 (三) 繪本閱讀在父母離異兒童團體發揮的功能,包括「成為蒐集資料的工具」、「能引領迅速切入核心主題,促進討論開展」、「容易使成員投射出想法或感覺」、「使孩子降低防衛,得以溫柔接觸難以說出口的悲傷」、「給於多感官的刺激及催化」、「繪本本質吸引孩子投入」、「能成為孩子具體討論的素材」、「是多元發揮、靈活運用的絕佳媒材」、「為開啟沉默孩子自在表達的鑰匙」、「培養設身處地、邏輯思考的能力」、「能促進孩子建構對世界的觀察及看法」、「提供情緒紓解及釋放管道」、「具有經驗交融,並尋找自己答案之功能」和「影響力具有持續性」。 根據研究結果,分別對政府或社福相關單位、父母離異兒童周邊系統、專業助人工作者、繪本媒材應用及未來研究提出相關建議。
