本文主要目的是對網路團體諮商的實施狀況做一個初探性的介紹,標題特別以「掃描」這個通用的電腦術語作為論文名稱。研究者安排四名團體諮商員分成兩組,分別對十二名自願參加的團體成員進行為期六週的團體諮商,每次進行120分鐘。藉由對所有網路諮商參與者的深度訪談所收集到的錄音逐字稿,和兩組共十二次網路團體諮商內容的文字錄逐字稿,以分析者三角校正的方法進行內容分析與歸納,用以回答「實施網路即時團體諮商的興衰為何?」這個研究問題。本研究比較網路團體諮商與傳統面對面團體諮商方式的歷程,同時也嘗試由參與團體諮商員和成員的參與經驗,探索受訪者們從做團體諮商的方式中遭遇到網路團體諮商的個人經驗轉變,並透過團體進行內容的逐步分析,了解與辨識網路即時團體諮商的興衰,為日後的網路團體諮商工作提供實證基礎,做為實施網路團體諮商的準備。
