Consultation is regarded as an important activity of school counseling. In Japan, various experts should get together, discuss, and support each other to solve the various complicated problems at school. In this study, I am going to think over the effective consultation of teachers to solve the problems of the female junior high school student who must decide what course should take. In this case, although the teacher want to solve the problem, the teacher’s action for the student kept the bad relation between the student and her mother. I shared this vicious circle with the teacher and urged him to change his action to solve the problem. Through this case, we need to think of the system including not only the student and her family but also family and teacher. Giving teachers the opportunity to use their specialty effects on solving problems. I discussed about the possibility to make consultation for teachers effective.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the qualities of family systems that are more capable of solving problems. In this study, we applied the schema of Integrated Information Theory (IIT), which explains the phenomenon of consciousness, to family research and tested the following hypothesis: higher symmetry leads to greater problem-solving ability in more communicative couples. We understood the couple's difference from the symmetry of their communication, and the couple's interaction from how much they communicate. We also distinguished between ordinary and problem contexts when investigating the difference and interaction in couples. The questionnaire survey was conducted to 312 married respondents (156 males, 156 females; average age 45.18 years). We took the couple's problem-solving ability as a dependent variable, and communication score, symmetry score, and an interaction term for both scores as independent variables, and performed hierarchical regression analysis for both ordinary and problem contexts respectively. As a result of this analysis, it was shown that, in ordinary contexts: (1) greater symmetry means greater solution-oriented attitude in more communicative couples; and (2) relationship-maintaining attitude is greater in more communicative and complementary couples. It was also shown that, in problem contexts: (1) solution-oriented attitude is greater in more communicative couples; and (2) complementary means greater relationship-maintaining attitude in more communicative couples. In the future, it will be necessary to test the hypothesis having controlled for the nature of the problem.

. Reactions to teasing in everyday situations were investigated by focusing on emotions towards teasers and needs for maintaining a relationship. A questionnaire was administered to Japanese university students (N=150, 71 men and 79 women, mean age=19.29 years old, SD=1.38). Covariance structure analysis developed a causal model of teasing reactions, which indicated that emotions toward teasers, including trust and independence, suppressed adverse reactions to teasing. On the other hand, the sense of rivalry caused adverse reactions. It is suggested that anxiety about relationships and needs for mutual respect might cause exaggerated reactions.

The current study examined (a) the current status of eating problems (eating disorder tendencies: EDT) in Japanese adolescents and (b) the association between adolescent EDT and a family structure consisting of three dyadic subsystems (marital, father-adolescent, and mother-adolescent). Participants were 663 high school and university students (341 males and 322 females) in Japan who completed a self-report questionnaire. Survey results revealed that 19 out of 341 males (5.57%) and 53 out of 322 females (16.46%), or 72 out of 663 participants (10.86%) in the entire sample, were categorized as having EDT according to the EAT-26. The male-to-female ratio of participants with EDT was 1 to 2.8. Many of the female adolescents with lower EAT-26 scores had a highly cohesive family structure with a balance of power in all dyads. The current findings suggested that adolescent eating problems are related to an unbalanced family structure. The clinical implications of these findings for family therapy are discussed.

. (cid:1) In this case, IP had been absent a high school for a few days, after she troubled with her boyfriend. Then, her mother came to see school counselor (SC). The mother said, “I hope my daughter to break up her boyfriend”. However, if mother told IP to do so, she argued that her mother did not understand her at all, and did not listen to her mother. SC formulated a bad circle as described above. Then, SC emphasized that IP is kind and great, and her mother appreciate them. SC told the mother how excellent she was and intervened “please send a message to her that you really understand your daughter’s feeling.” After the session, the mother changed how to approach her daughter. Then her reaction was also changed, and they peacefully talked to each other. After all, IP started smoothly to go to school again. The mother regarded that the relationship between her and her boyfriend was complementary communication which means that her boyfriend is in one-up position to control her and her position is one-down. After the session, however, the relationship established in the mother changed into meta-complementary communication which means that the position of IP and her boyfriend seems to be one-up and one-down, respectively. After all, mother could give them the choice to break up or not. And she changed interacting with her daughter, IP started to go to school again.
