ABSTRACT

This interpretive qualitative study investigated relationships and relational processes that facilitate social connection in a group-therapy intervention for Syrian refugees in Jordan. Drawing from grounded theory analytical methods, a core relational process, sharing stories eases pain, was derived from the data to explain how group members came to develop close, caring relationships, which led to other psychosocial benefits. The findings fill a gap in the group treatment literature specific to refugees and advance understanding of group relationships as an active ingredient promoting change. Findings also suggest that group based treatment may be uniquely suited to address some of the broader social-relational consequences of conflict and forced migration.

摘要

这项解释性定性研究调查了在约旦叙利亚难民的团体治疗干预中促进社会联系的关系和关系过程。从扎根理论分析方法中汲取核心关系过程，分享故事减轻痛苦，从数据中得出，以解释小组成员如何发展亲密、关怀的关系，从而带来其他心理社会益处。这些发现填补了针对难民的群体治疗文献中的一个空白，并促进了对群体关系作为促进变革的积极成分的理解。研究结果还表明，基于群体的治疗可能特别适合解决冲突和强迫迁移的一些更广泛的社会关系后果。
