本文旨在回顧國內十五年來有關團體治療與諮商研究的文獻，探討國內團體研究的現況、成果與缺失，並嘗試提出未來團體研究的趨勢與方向。文中首先瞭解團體治療與諮商研究的目的在於建構團體治療與諮商的理論，並發展更有效的臨床技術。繼而提出一個七向度的團體治療與諮商研究架構，指出團體研究應涵蓋團體前預備向度、成員向度、領導員向度、團體處理向度、團體過程向度、團體階度發展向度及團體效果向度等七大層面的變項。同時進一步援用此七向度的團體治療與諮商研究架構對國內、外團體研究在變項選擇上的狀況與差異。最後，針對國內的文獻，經由研究目的、受試者、團體類型、團體進行時間、領導員、實驗設計、評量工具、自變項、依變項、統計方法及研究結果等十一項指標，作逐項分析，得出國內研究在各項指標上的現況，並據以建議未來國內團體研究的方向。

The purpose of this paper is to review the empirical studies which related to group work (both counseling & psychotherapy) in Taiwan during the past 15 years. Based on 11 indexes (purpose of study, type of group, duration of group, members, leaders experimental design. Independent Variables, depdndent variables, measurement statistical method, methodology and research outcome). A critical review of these studies is presented, and the future direction for group research is suggested. Before reviewing the group papers of past 15 years the goal of conducting group researeh is discussed first, and a multi-dimensional framework for group research is presented, too. 7-dimensions is included in this multidimension frame work, they are: pre-group dimension, members dimension, leaders dimensios, group treatment dimension, group process dimension, group development dimension, and and group outcome dimension.
