Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

児童養護施設(以下施設と略記)における心理的側面からの家族支援は，その意義が先行研究によって指摘され，我が国の行政や現場の施設心理職も強い必要性を認めているが，実際の関わりは不足していることがわかっている(Landsman et al, 2001；厚生労働省，2014)。理由としては勤務体制の不十分等とともに，家族と関わる自信の欠如や必要な心理臨床的スキルの不足等が指摘されている(田附，2012)。本研究において，児童養護施設の心理職の家族支援の教育訓練プログラムの有効性が確認されたことにより，施設における心理職による家族支援の拡充の一助となることが期待される。
