In this research, the purpose was to examine the influence of father's image transfer from mother to child ing father image of their child. We focused on two aspects of how to convey father's image by mother, management side and content side. A questionnaire survey was conducted for 217 college students (97 males, 120 females). As a result of the factor analysis, the management aspect of how to convey father's image by mother was constructed with "Peaceful" "Callousness " "Involving" "awkwardness" "serious" in management side and "reference to father's presence" "mother's perspective to the father" in the content aspect. Covariance structure analysis was conducted to examine the effect of mother's father image transmission on family function through mediation of father's image. As a result, it was suggested that referring to father's day-today situation on the content side and "peaceful" "serious" on the management side by mothers promotes family functions by mediating a positive father's image perceived by their child.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a psychotherapy which does not focus on the problem, but on the clarification of the goal state and the extension of the exception. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of both clients’ and therapists’ evaluations of goal clarification on the variables which is considered important in SFBT. A total of 223 participants who responded to all questionnaires were the subject of the analysis. The results of this study showed a correlation between self and therapists’ evaluations for the imagination of the Miracle Question, the concreteness of the goal, and the reality of the goal. On the other hand, none of the relationships were strongly correlated, confirming that the self evaluation and the therapists’ evaluation differed to a certain extent. Goal-related evaluation by the therapist had a positive impact on solution building, solution orientation, and causal analysis. Besides, self evaluation related to Miracle Question and goal had a positive impact on self-efficacy and degree of problem-solving. These findings indicate that self and therapists’ evaluations related to Miracle Question and goal have a diverse effect on problem-solving.
