摘要

本研究乃經由初次接案晤談的問題內容，來瞭解促使成人個案尋求心理諮商協助的問題為何。經分析195位個案問題的主訴與諮商期待，可以發現：兒童與青少年問題是已婚成人求助的最主要問題，孩子的問題則包括學業問題、行為偏差、人際適應與情緒控制、精神疾病症狀的評估與處理、學習能力與性向評估、親子衝突，以及性侵害事件的身心復健等。除了孩子的問題之外，婚姻關係亦是已婚成人重要的諮商主題，其中包含夫妻溝通、配偶外遇、分居與離婚等。未婚成人個案則自我瞭解與探索，以及愛情關係方面有較多討論，其中多需涉及情緒議題的處理。大體而言，成人個案的困擾與其發展任務生活角色的轉換有關。另外，精神疾病個案在求助精神科醫師之後，也多會求助心理諮商做進一步的調適與復健，此類個案的病狀呈現多樣類型，如何予以有效處理，也是社區諮商工作者必要的專業知能。
