Abstract:
Objective:To test Jiang Guangrong's(2005)three-dimension model on the depth of counseling process.Methods:In this process-outcome research,28 sessions in a university counseling center were videotaped and coded in terms of the model.Structure Equation Model(SEM)was used to examine the relations between the coding and counselors and clients' evaluation of the session depth.Results:(1)Clients and counselors evaluated differently on the session depth,and clients' evaluation was more positive than counselors' [(4.95±1.12)vs.(4.23±0.94),P<0.05];(2)The model was significantly correlated with counselors' session depth evaluation(path coefficient = 0.55,P<0.01),but not with the clients';(3)The session curves describing each dimension changing over time had different patterns in sessions of different depth level,through which more about the counseling process could be known.Conclusion:The three-dimension model on the depth of counseling process has got some empirical evidences.
