Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) qualification training is an experience-centered training course. It emphasizes inner exploration and healing through self-therapy and teaches therapy skills to enhance trainee therapists’ professionalism. The aim of this phenomenological study was to explore the perceived growth experiences of women trainee therapists during their GIM qualification training in South Korea. Method This study utilized a descriptive phenomenological methodology. Seven Korean trainee therapists participated in this study. The data were collected using in-depth interviews. Colaizzi’s method was used to extract significant statements, formulate meanings, identify themes and the essential aspects of the trainees’ perceived growth experiences. Results The data analysis yielded 23 meaning units, nine themes, and three essential aspects related to the trainees’ growth experiences during GIM training. The themes include avoidance and resistance, thorough (esoteric) training, public eye, individual circumstances, therapeutic power of GIM, training methods and environment, motivation and effort to grow as therapists, personal growth, and professional growth. The three essential aspects of the trainees’ perceived growth experiences are growth challenges, the power to grow, and a two-faceted nature of growth. Discussion This study corroborates and extends the research findings of previous studies on the training of GIM therapists. Also, it identifies some contradictions in the trainees’ growth experiences that could be attributed to cultural factors. Although the study was not set up to evaluate GIM training programs, it provides some practical suggestions for GIM training programs in South Korea.

韩国女性培训治疗师在引导意象和音乐资格培训中的成长经历

摘要简介引导图像与音乐（GIM）资格培训是一门以体验为中心的培训课程。它强调通过自我治疗进行内心探索和治愈，并教授治疗技能，以提高实习治疗师的专业水平。这项现象学研究的目的是探索女性实习治疗师在韩国接受GIM资格培训期间的感知成长经历。方法采用描述性现象学方法。七名韩国实习治疗师参与了这项研究。这些数据是通过深入访谈收集的。Colaizzi的方法被用于提取重要陈述，制定意义，确定主题和受训者感知成长经历的基本方面。结果数据分析得出了23个意义单元、9个主题和与学员在GIM培训中的成长经历相关的三个重要方面。主题包括回避和抵抗、彻底的（深奥的）培训、公众视野、个人环境、GIM的治疗能力、培训方法和环境、作为治疗师成长的动机和努力、个人成长和职业成长。学员感知成长经历的三个重要方面是成长挑战、成长的力量和成长的两面性。讨论本研究证实并扩展了先前关于GIM治疗师培训的研究结果。此外，它还指出了受训者成长经历中的一些矛盾，这些矛盾可能归因于文化因素。虽然本研究不是为了评估GIM培训计划而设立的，但它为韩国的GIM培训项目提供了一些实用的建议。

期刊介绍： Nordic Journal of Music Therapy (NJMT) is published in collaboration with GAMUT - The Grieg Academy Music Therapy Research Centre (Uni Health and University of Bergen), with financial support from Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences and in co-operation with university programs and organizations of music therapy in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The Nordic Journal of Music Therapy serves the international community of music therapy by being an avenue for publication of scholarly articles, texts on practice, theory and research, dialogues and discussions, reviews and critique. Publication of the journal is based on the collaboration between the music therapy communities in the five Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and the three Baltic Countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This international but still regional foundation offers a platform for development of communication with the broader international community of music therapy. Scholars from all over the world are welcomed to write in the journal. Any kind of scholarly articles related to the field of music therapy are welcomed. All articles are reviewed by two referees and by the editors, to ensure the quality of the journal. Since the field of music therapy is still young, we work hard to make the review process a constructive learning experience for the author. The Nordic Journal of Music Therapy does not step aside from active engagement in the development of the discipline, in order to stimulate multicultural, meta-theoretical and philosophical discussions, and new and diverse forms of inquiry. The journal also stimulates reflections on music as the medium that defines the discipline. Perspectives inspired by musicology and ethnomusicology are therefore welcomed.
