The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship among counselors' developmental level, soothing ability, and countertransference management ability. In order to solve the research problems the following hypotheses were set up.
[Hypotheses 1] Soothing ability, and countertransference management ability will be significantly different according to counselor's developmental level.
[Hypotheses 2] There will be significant corelations among counselors' developmental level, soothing ability, and countertransference management ability.
[Hypotheses 3-1] Counselors' developmental level will have significant effect on soothing ability.
[Hypotheses 3-2] Soothing ability will have significant effect on countertransference management ability.
[Hypotheses 3-3] counselors' developmental level will have significant effect on countertransference management ability.
In order to verify the above hypotheses which set up this study sampled 105 counselors in Korea(Seoul, Kyonggi and Pusan area). The instrument used for this study were 「Korean counselor Level Questionnaire」(Shim, 1998), 「Self-Report Mesure of Soothing Receptivity」(park, 1999),
「 CFI:Countertransference Factors Inventory」(Chang, 1999). The data analyzed by difference test, correlation analysis and regression analysis(stepwise) using SPSS/WIN 11.01 program. All static values were tested in the level of significant p<.05.
The result of this research were summarised as follows:
First, there was partially significant difference in soothing ability, and counter-transference management ability by counselors' developmental level.
Second, there were partially significant correlation of counselors' developmental level, soothing ability, and countertransference management ability. There was significant positive correlation between counselors' developmental level and soothing ability(r=.298, p<.01). Also there was significant correlation in the range of .192~.413 between their sub-factor (p<.05). There was significant positive correlation between soothing ability and countertransference management ability (r=.373, p<.05). Also there was significant correlation in the range of .212~.529 between their sub-factor(p<.05). There was significant positive correlation between counselors' developmental level and countertransference management ability (r=.653, p<.01). Also there was significant correlation in the range of .276~.644 between their sub-factor (p<.05).
Third, counselors' developmental level and soothing ability will have partially significant effect on soothing ability, also counselors' developmental level will have significant effect on counselors' developmental level. Humanistic and ethical attitudes among the sub-factors of counselors' developmental level had a influence of 13.3% on the entire soothing ability. Resiliency among the sub-factors of soothing ability had a influence of 16.2% on the entire countertransference management ability. Emotional awareness among the sub-factors of counselors' developmental level had a influence of 41.7% on the entire countertransference management ability.
