초록
The purpose of this study was to examine researches on empathy systematically in the field of counseling and therapy, identifying recent trend and changes in empathy research in Korean journals of counseling and family therapy. For this purpose, this study examined the literature of 32 empathy-related studies in Korean counseling and therapy journals issued from 2014 to 2018. The results were as follows: First, the trend of the yearly amount of published researches on empathy during the last 5 years was inconsistent. Second, the main research topics related to empathy were attachment, positive psychology, counseling outcome, and trauma. Third, the main research subjects were counselors, adults and college students. Fourth, IRI and BLRI were the most commonly used measurement tools for empathy measurement. The amount of studies on empathy in the field of counseling general was insufficient and even more so in the field of family therapy. Therefore, the authors would like to emphasize the need for more active research on empathy within the field of family therapy.
