本研究主要目的在於探討參與本研究之人際退縮青少女於團體手偶劇之經驗，與其參與團體手偶劇後人際困擾狀態之改變，以瞭解團體手偶劇於人際退縮青少女族群之適用性。
本研究對象透過立意抽樣之抽取共計三位人際退縮青少女，介入方式為進行為期9次以手偶劇作為處遇方式之團體遊戲治療，每週進行90分鐘。研究者於團體前與結束後，分別與參與之青少女及其導師進行半結構之訪談，以質性研究中的內容分析法進行資料分析；並邀請青少女填寫「十一歲至十八歲青少年自陳報告表」與「中學生人際關係量表」，導師填寫「六歲至十八歲兒童－教師報告表」，作為量化資料之補充。研究結果說明如下：
一、團體手偶劇作為人際退縮青少女之介入方法
手偶能作為團體初期成員彼此互動的工具，團體手偶劇提供一定的心理與情緒距離，讓成員可以在遊戲的歷程中，透過手偶代言，針對自身人際困擾議題進行演出與分享，此方式對青少女而言，為較無壓力的方式，且手偶類別之選擇，於象徵意義上反映了青少女退縮與害羞的特質。
二、團體手偶劇後，人際退縮青少女之困擾狀態之改變
青少女能透過團體手偶劇重新演出其困擾，於演出後相互分享，進一步使用手偶劇練習新人際技巧，並將所學運用於生活。研究結果顯示，團體手偶劇有助於青少女運用人際技巧因應人際困擾、增加朋友數量、提升正向人際行為、提升人際覺察度、增加人際互動頻率與經驗，並為人際互動特質帶來正向改變。
綜合而論，團體手偶劇為適用於人際退縮青少女之處遇方式，並能改善其人際困擾狀態。依據本研究結果提出具體建議，供未來相關研究及實務工作者之參考。
