The purpose of this study is to find out what the supervisee experiences in the multicultural social justice counselling supervision, explore the essential structure from its experience, and provide the basic data necessary for the multicultural social justice supervision courses in Korea's counselor education and supervision site. In order to achieve this goal, in-depth interviews were conducted after providing opportunities to participate in the individual supervision of multicultural social justice to five counselors who held second or higher level certificates of Korean Counseling Association and Korean Counseling Psychological Association. The collected data were analyzed according to Giorgi's phenomenological research method.
As a result of analysis, 35 themes and 12 core meanings were derived from the multicultural social justice counselling supervision, refelcting the experience of the supervisee. The 12 core meanings were found to be: ‘start with anticipation of learning and growth’, ‘tremble in fear over the burden’, ‘early supervision work is unfamiliar’, ‘experience a safe supervision relationship’, ‘reflecting on cultural values and prejudices that influence the counseling process’, ‘understand and accept the client's worldview’, ‘acquiring a critical perspective on social and cultural influences’, ‘the learning of skills in counseling for multicultural social justice’, ‘seeing clients and me positively’, ‘taking one step toward practicing multicultural social justice counseling’, ‘feeling the client's change in counseling’, ‘experiencing obstacles to practicing multicultural social justice counseling’.
Based on the results of this research, the implications and limitations were summarized. This research is meaningful to understand the applicability of the multicultural social justice counselling supervision in Korea and present the matters to be considered in the multicultural social justice counselling supervision for Korean counselors as empirical data through the voice of the supervisee.
