Abstract:
Object:To describe Chinese systemic family therapy process through analysis on the therapeutic experience of 4 Chinese systemic family therapists.Method:Four well-certificated systemic family therapists in China were selected as research sample.A semi-structure interview under the guidance of a self-compiled interview outline was made with every therapist.Transferred raw data was analyzed with deductive thematic analysis following 5 steps:coding,themes searching,themes reviewing,themes defining and naming,themes merging and revision.Results:(1)Respectively 102,93,97,and 95 codes were got from each piece of interview raw data,which generated 57,52,50,and 33 primary themes.Five main themes emerged from the merging of the primary themes.(2)Themes and sub-themes constructed the theoretical hypothesis on the change process of Chinese systemic family therapy.Conclusion:There is an experiential manipulating model in Chinese systemic family therapy process under the guidance of systemic therapeutic philosophy,which is integrated with some therapeutic technique from other psychotherapy models.This model can be studied with deductive thematic analysis.
