Abstract

The author uses clinical examples to epitomize developmental “stuckness” during adolescence, noting struggles of pupils along a continuum of ability level, circumstance, and socioeconomic status, including gifted individuals. By regularly using a developmental template, counselors may ascertain which tasks are contributing to presenting issues. Just as with individual counseling, counselors who convey nonjudgmental, respectful attention, and a one-down posture in development-oriented small-group work can help adolescents move forward.

摘要

本文以一些臨床例子，概括青少年成長的「黏滯」，指出學生（包括資優或資弱的、處於各種生長環境和社會經濟地位的學生）所面臨的各種掙扎。輔導人員定期參照青少年成長的模板，便可確定哪些成長或發展過程中的挑戰會導致青少年現有的問題。正如個別輔導一樣，在成長導向的小組輔導工作上，只要輔導人員不持裁決性的態度，事事尊重，且不擺出高高在上的姿態，定能幫助青少年邁步向前。

Abstract

Youth counseling is a dynamic profession undergoing continual metamorphosis with the ever-changing psycho-socio-political context of Hong Kong. Several inter-disciplinary research conducted on juvenile gang, non-engaged youth, and adolescents at risk within the school system provided important evidence-based conceptual framework and models for the paradigm shift in the delivery of youth counseling services. The major breakthroughs include: holistic development for adolescents; early detection and early intervention; the delivery of primary, secondary, and tertiary preventive programs; and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The role of the youth counselor is no longer confined to the personal counseling services in the counseling room; the multiple roles include advocacy and intervention at the systemic and structural level, bringing about changes in the families, schools, and even government policies.

摘要

青少年輔導工作是一項充滿動力的專業，它隨著香港不斷變化的心理、社會和政治處境而持續蛻變。一些以童黨、雙待（待學、待業）青年及校內高危青少年為對象的跨界別研究，為青少年輔導服務的思維更新提供了重要且以實據為本的理念架構和模式。其主要突破包括：青少年全人培育、及早識別和及時預防、三級預防服務，以及跨界別合作。青少年輔導工作者的角色已不再局限於輔導室內的個人輔導，更應包括系統上及結構上的倡議和介入，以期在家庭、學校甚至政府政策方面帶來轉變。

Abstract

This article reported a qualitative research based on Giorgi’s (1975a, 1975b) phenomenological methodology that studied male identity formation of Chinese Canadian immigrants who grew up in China and later settled down in Canada. The purpose was to explore how their male identity developed, their current ideas about being men, and what they wanted to become in the future. The data yielded a theme that they learnt to be men by their own searching. Their experience of navigating across two cultures revealed some characteristics of growing up in a Chinese culture and the journey of searching for male identity in Canada.

摘要

本研究利用Giorgi的現象學，探討男性如何建立性別角色認同。參加者是一批在中國長大，其後定居於加拿大的加拿大華裔男士。這項研究旨在了解男性如何發展出性別認同，他們對身為男性有何想法，以及他們對未來的展望。結果顯示，參加者透過摸索，學懂成為男性。他們生活在兩個文化的經驗，揭示了他們在中國成長的特徵，以及在加拿大尋找性別認同的旅程。

Abstract

The relationships among acculturation, acculturation stress, and depression among a sample of 177 Koreans and Korean Americans were examined. Results showed that 49% of the participants obtained a score on a depression scale that would indicate a diagnosis of depression. A path analysis indicated that both acculturation and acculturation stress were predictors of the depression scale scores. Discussion focused on how the results could be interpreted within the context of the Korean culture. The possibility that Western measures of depression were culturally biased to the Koreans’ and Korean Americans’ disadvantage was also discussed.

摘要

本文報道了一項以177名韓國人和韓裔美國人為對象的研究，探討文化適應、文化適應導致的壓力和抑鬱之間的關係。研究結果表明，49%的參與者所得的抑鬱評分值可被診斷為患有抑鬱。路徑分析顯示，文化適應和文化適應導致的壓力都是抑鬱評分值的預測因素。本文集中討論如何在韓國文化的前提和氛圍下闡釋以上結果，亦會探討西方量度抑鬱的方法可能有文化偏差而對韓國人和韓裔美國人不利。

Abstract

Singapore is a cosmopolitan state with a mix of Eastern and Westernized values, attitudes, and lifestyles. Like people of other developed countries, Singaporeans do face problems of depression, anxiety disorders, and schizophrenia among other mental illnesses. They, however, have a choice of Western or traditional therapies for managing these illnesses. This article reviews the literature on the efficacy of counseling or psychotherapy with Chinese Singaporeans, the predominant group. Implications for cognitive behavior therapy are discussed, and considerations for conducting therapy with Chinese Singaporean clients are outlined. This resource on the counseling and psychotherapy position in Singapore is offered as a further contribution to this emerging literature.

摘要

新加坡是個融會東、西方價值、態度和生活方式的大都會。新加坡人跟其他已發展國家的人民一樣，都面對憂鬱、焦慮和精神分裂等精神健康問題。然而，新加坡人在應付這些問題時可選擇西方或傳統的治療方法。本文回顧有關心理輔導或治療對新加坡華人（新加坡主要的族群）的效益的文獻。文章亦會討論認知行為治療的意義，以及對新加坡華人進行心理治療時須注意之事項。本文所提出新加坡心理輔導和治療的定位有助相關文獻的發展。
