Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research generated four clear results as follows: First, the a clear and sophisticated definition of the support network was generated, from the point of view of mutual feedback loop process wherein a material object is personalized and a person is materialized. Second, the categorization of intervention skills in the therapy was systematized. Each of the social worker's therapeutic messages which have plural purposes, are divided into a main purpose and a secondary purpose and categorized based on the categories of circular questions. Third, the development of measurement methods for the generative processes of the differentiation of the elements which composed meaning construction and behavior selection was illustrated using a case study. Fourth, an international clinical research program for a generative support network was started. The client in the United States dealing with irritable bowel syndrome was able to generate, more a functional, life-script through this approach.
