ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to introduce a person-centered training activity called the Contemplative Dialogue Method and to explore the experiences of those who participated in an instance of the training. The Contemplative Dialogue Method is based on two theoretical bases: philosophical values as a way of being and person-centered integration. Firstly, the aims of the Contemplative Dialogue Method, its procedures, and the role of the facilitator are explained. Secondly, the dialogue of five participants in the Contemplative Dialogue Method is analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore their experiences in the sessions. Three themes are found through the analysis: ‘Integration of a way of being from experience, theory and dialogue’, ‘A transit point in the learning process’ and ‘A space for exploration with others’. Finally, from the findings, it is argued that the group’s climate and the relationships among the participants contributed to their exploration and integration of their own philosophical values. Also, it is suggested that the participants’ clinical experience as therapists and clients is an important factor in considering the timing for implementation of the Contemplative Dialogue Method.

摘要

本研究的目的是介绍一种以人为中心的培训活动，称为“冥想对话法”，并探讨参加培训实例的人员的经历。冥想对话法基于两个理论基础：作为一种存在方式的哲学价值观和以人为中心的整合。首先，解释冥想对话法的目的、程序以及引导者的角色。其次，利用解释现象学分析法对沉思对话法中的五名参与者的对话进行分析，以探讨他们在会议中的经历。通过分析发现了三个主题：“经验、理论和对话的存在方式的整合”、“学习过程中的转折点”和“与他人探索的空间”。最后，从研究结果来看，该群体的氛围和参与者之间的关系有助于他们探索和整合自己的哲学价值观。此外，建议参与者作为治疗师和客户的临床经验是考虑实施冥想对话法时机的重要因素。
