Abstract:
By using an example of a freshman who was unable to study and live normally due to the issue
of bereaved uncle, this paper introduced an application of family therapy and narrative therapy in a case
of treatment of loss and grief issues. At first, the counselor boosted this freshman’s confidence to fight
against problems through narrative practice and helped this freshman to strengthen his self-identity. At
the same time, the counselor utilized family therapy to explore the family relationship network which
entangled with the freshman’s mental illness. The combination of narrative therapy and family therapy
significantly alleviated this student’s symptoms, reducing his self-injurious behaviors and suicidal
ideation. In addition, the combination of two counseling approaches enhanced his sense of self-esteem,
facilitating his emotional expression, optimizing his family relations, and putting him back on the right
track. In sum, the expected objective of consultation has been achieved. This case successfully provided
counseling interventions for loss and grief issues for a college student, which provides a significant
reference for deepening our understanding of bereavement grief and for grief-targeted psychological
counseling practice
本文以一位因亲人离世而无法正常学习和生活的大一男生为例,介绍了家庭治疗和叙事疗法在哀伤辅导中的运用。本案例通过叙事心理治疗,鼓励来访者与问题抗争,帮助来访者强壮自我认同,同时采用家庭治疗探索问题所根植的家庭关系网,二者有效结合,使来访者症状明显缓解,自伤自杀意念消除,自我价值感提升,家庭关系得到改善,恢复正常生活和学习,完成了预期的咨询目标。本案例成功地对大学生进行了哀伤辅导,为哀伤辅导的理论发展和心理辅导实践提供参考。
