Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT) on Complex PTSD symptoms, acceptance and post-traumatic growth of college students with childhood emotional abuse. Four hundred and fifty students in university completed Acceptance and action Questionnaire(AAQ-II), Structured interview for disorders of extrem stress(SIDES), Korea version posttraumatic growth inventory(K-PTGI). 14 participants was selected from that result. 7 participants were assigned to the ACT group and the others were in the control group. ACT program was administered for 8 sessions twice a week for 2 month, approximately 100 minutes. There was no treatment in the control group. All participants completed post-test at the end of treatment and then follow-up test after 6 weeks. The results were that complex PTSD symptoms level in ACT group was significant decreased and acceptance and post-traumatic growth level in ACT group were significant increased than those in control group at the end of treatment and the follow-up period. Finally, the implications and the limitations of this study, and the suggestions for future study were also discussed.

본 연구는 수용 전념 치료(Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; ACT)가 정서적 학대 경험이 있는 대학생의 복합 PTSD 증상, 수용 및 외상 후 성장에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 4년제 대학교 대학생 450명을 대상으로 복합 PTSD 증상 척도, 수용 척도, 외상 후 성장 척도를 실시하였고, 이를 토대로 14명의 참가자를 선정하였다. 7명은 수용전념치료 집단에, 7명은 통제 집단에 할당하였다. 수용 전념 치료 프로그램은 주 2회, 회기 당 100분씩 총 8회기의 프로그램을 진행하였으며, 통제집단에는 어떠한 처치도 시행하지 않았다. 프로그램 종료 후 사후 검사와 6주 뒤 추적 검사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 통제 집단에 비해 수용전념치료(ACT) 집단에서 치료 프로그램 종료 후 복합 PTSD 증상이 유의하게 감소하였고, 수용과 외상 후 성장은 유의하게 증가되었다. 각각의 수준은 추적 검사까지 유지되었다. 끝으로 연구의 의의, 한계점 및 후속연구에 대한 제언이 논의되었다.
