본 연구는 놀이치료 숙련자가 경험한 놀이치료 진행단계에 따른 부모상담 내용을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 상담경력이 5년 이상이며, 슈퍼비전 경험이 80회 이상인 놀이치료 숙련자 34명이다. 조사방법은 자기보고식 질문지를 실시하였고, 자료보완을 위해 추가적으로 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 내용분석을 실시하였으며, 그 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 놀이치료 진행단계에 따른 부모상담 내용을 부모상담 형태(회기별 부모상담, 독립된 개인 부모상담)별로 분석한 결과, 각각의 형태에서 동일하게, 놀이치료 초기는 ``사례개념화``, ``라포형성``, ``부모역할수행``의 범주로 분류되었고, 놀이치료 중기, 말기는 ``상담을 통한 변화탐색``, ``부모역할수행``, ``상담동기 유지``의 범주로 분류되었으며, 놀이치료 종료시기는 ``상담을 통한 변화의 일반화``, ``부모역할수행``, ``상담종결 후 자립``의 범주로 분류되었다. 또한 회기별 부모상담과 독립된 개인 부모상담 모두에서 동일하게 놀이치료 초기는 ``사례개념화``가 가장 높은 빈도를 나타냈으며, 놀이치료 중기는 ``부모역할 수행``이 가장 높은 빈도를 나타냈다. 또한 놀이치료 말기는 ``상담을 통한 변화탐색``이 가장 높은 빈도를 나타냈으며, 놀이치료 종료시기는 ``부모역할 수행``이 가장 높은 빈도를 나타냈다.
