The aim of this study is to examine how counselor candidates view therapeutic alliance within the frame of traditional face-to-face counseling and online counseling. The study was conducted with the participation of 11 volunteering counselor candidates (eight female and three male) in the fourth year of their Guidance and Psychological Counseling undergraduate program at a public university in Turkey. Results obtained through content analysis indicated that the counselor candidates were largely able to cooperate with their clients in setting goals, in working towards these goals and in solving problems, and that the counselor candidates formed a personal connection with the clients. However, it was also observed that online counseling led to problems in building cooperation to achieve goals, and in allowing the counselor and client to understand one another.
Özet
Bu çalışmanın konusu, geleneksel yüz yüze psikolojik danışma ile çevrimiçi psikolojik danışma sürecindeki terapötik işbirliğini psikolojik danışman adaylarının nasıl değerlendirdiğidir. Bu çalışmaya Türkiye’de bir devlet üniversitesinde, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışma lisans programı son sınıfta okuyan 11 (sekiz kadın ve üç erkek) gönüllü psikolojik danışman adayı katılmıştır. Yapılan içerik analizinin sonucunda, psikolojik danışman adaylarının; danışanları ile amaçları belirlemede, bu amaçlara ulaşmaya çalışmada, danışanların sorunlarının çözümünde büyük oranda işbirliği sağladıkları ve danışanları ile aralarında kişisel bir bağın oluştuğu bulgularına ulaşılmıştır. Ancak, çevrimiçi danışmada amaçlara ulaşmada işbirliği ve danışanla psikolojik danışman adayının birbirini anlamalarında güçlük yaşandığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
