Abstract

The purpose of this study was to help young people with mild intellectual disabilities with counseling and self-supporting life experiences. The topic of the counseling contents could be categorized as follows: "institutional life was clumsy and hard, but it was also full of memories," "my adolescent was aching, growing, and lonesome," "an irresistibie being," "independence process is filled with anxiety, excitement." In his process of going independent, the subject showed a strong will for the preparation for independence where he gets through the unfavorable situation surrounding the arduous and lonely independent process. This result proves the effectiveness of the therapeutic intervention based on the coping skills that meet the needs of the social situation for the adolescents who are discharged from institutions in their independence preparation and job search.

본 연구의 목적은 퇴소를 앞둔 경증지적장애 청소년의 심리치료 상담과정과 자립준비 생활경험에 도움을 주고자 실시하였다. 사례연구의 범주화 내용은 다음과 같다. "서툴고 힘들었지만 추억이 있는 시설생활" "아프고 성장하고 쓸쓸한 나의 사춘기" "의지할 수 없는 존재" "기대감과 두려움의 자립과정"등의 주제로 범주화 할 수 있다. 연구 참여자는 퇴소와 자립준비과정에 대해서 두려움을 가지고 있었으나 심리치료적 개입으로 변화되고 극복되는 의미 있는 결과가 나타났다. 따라서 퇴소를 앞둔 경증지적장애 청소년에 적합한 자립준비와 직업탐색에 치료적 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.
