다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is to investigate the current state of behavior therapy professional training programs, placement and service offerings. In South Korea, behavior therapy related professionals are trained by private institutions, academies, associations and graduate and undergraduate schools. Some private institutions, academies and associations don``t have sufficient training systems. For example, there may be no qualification requirements, very short education periods, just on-line courses, no guidelines for academic approaches and so on. And job specifications of a lot of private institutions, academies and associations are unsuitable for the nature of behavior therapy. Undergraduate and graduate schools for fostering behavior therapy related professionals are few. But their training programs are appropriate to cultivate the behavior therapy professionals as a developmental rehabilitation services personnel accepted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2014. The behavior therapy related professionals work in many different fields. But the user rate of behavior therapy is lower than any other developmental rehabilitation service such as speech/language therapy, art therapy and so on. Usually, in the field of therapeutic support as a special education related service, the user rate of behavior therapy is not calculated in any advanced research studies. In this study, some suggestions are addressed about the current training programs for behavior therapy related professionals, and some further research studies are suggested for investigating the cause of behavior therapy’s low user rate.
