本研究目的在於透過觀看其他諮商心理師性別意識發展歷程以及在專業上實踐經驗,作為研究者在性別意識以及專業發展上的指引。本研究採敘說研究,透過深度訪談蒐集三位研究參與者的性別意識發展經驗與歷程,將之寫成生命故事,同時進行分析與解釋,藉以瞭解性別意識對諮商心理師專業實踐的作用。
研究發現分為兩個部分,第一部分是諮商心理師性別意識發展經驗與歷程的發現:即使生理性別與性傾向不同,以及遭遇到不同的性別經驗,性別意識發展經驗與歷程仍具有共同性,都會經歷三個面向:1.性別經驗的遭逢與累積,2.重要轉折事件,3.對諮商專業的影響。這三個面向呈現循環狀態,不會因為在性別意識開啟之後就停止,而是隨著在生命中持續遭逢新的性別經驗,會不斷的調整與改變。第二個部分則是性別意識對諮商專業實踐與反思的作用:1.對權力議題的重視,2.對多元差異的尊重,3.性別意識的實踐。
藉由前述三位受訪者的性別經驗,研究者認為性別意識的發展是需要持續理解與覺察的,而且不會有終點。這些理解與覺察也需要透過行動與實踐,才能不斷自我調整,進而協助他人。
The purposes of the study is observe the gender consciousness development process of other counseling psychologists and their professional practical experience, and let them lead the researcher to study gender consciousness and professional development. Employing narrative research method, the study made in-depth interviews with 3 participants of this study in order to collect their gender consciousness development experience and process, and then wrote a life story. Meanwhile, the study made analysis and explanation so as to understand the effect of gender consciousness on the professional practices of counseling psychologists.
The study finds that there are two parts to be studied. The first part is about findings of gender consciousness development experience and process of counseling psychologists. Even though people have different physical genders and sexual orientation of and also encounter different gender experiences, there is commonality in their gender consciousness development experience and process. People always experience 3 aspects: 1. Encountering and accumulation of gender experience. 2. Important transitional events. 3. Effects on counseling profession. These 3 aspects appear to be in a circular state, and this state does not stop even after gender consciousness was developed. With the new gender experience continuously encountered by people along with their lives, adjustment and changes are made ceaselessly. The second part is the effects of gender consciousness on the practice and introspection of counseling profession: 1. Emphasis on the issue of power. 2. Respect for diversity. 3. Practice of gender consciousness.
Through the gender experiences of the above 3 interviewees, the researcher thinks that the development of gender consciousness has to be continuously understood and aware of, and does not have destination. Such understanding and awareness also need to have actions and practices taken. In this way, self-adjustment can be made continuously, and help for others can be further performed.
