Abstract
The purpose of this research is to scrutinize what are characteristics of client-identified significant events and interactional process in Gestalt therapy using the therapeutic media. The subjects of the study were 4 participants. To this purpose, a audio-taped session and a intensive interview were conducted to examine. The collected data for this study were analyzed by Comprehensive Process Analysis. The audio-taped session and interview data were first transcribed and then analyzed for client-identified significant events. A total of 74 pairs of conversations were analyzed to derive the interactional process within the significant event case. In conclusion, it was found that the interactional process of significant events in the Gestalt therapy contributed to the change of the client by interacting with the therapeutic media. 5 major themes of interaction with the therapeutic madia appeared. The 5 major themes are allowance, identification, recognition, acceptance and prospective. Finally, the significance and limitations of the study were clarified and suggested for further study.
