Abstract

This paper reviews psychological studies on university students’romantic relationships with the goal of supporting relationship problem resolution in student counseling. In Study 1, we collected and reviewed domestic and foreign peer-reviewed papers from academic information databases. As a result, we collected forty-five foreign and twenty-one domestic papers. We counted the number of papers according to the progress of students' romantic relationships, and found that most papers concerned the continuation of romantic relationships. Because the domestic papers reviewed in Study 1 did not include case studies, in Study 2 we examined domestic case study papers on support for partial resolution of romantic relationship problems. We collected thirty-nine papers from three academic journals and found that in the case studies, female clients who experienced a lack of proper emotional responses from their mothers sought counseling from female counselors on how to continue their romantic relationships. From results of this study, we found that it is important for therapists to understand the effects of lack of clients' experiences of emotional responses from their caregivers and to help to resolve clients' romantic relationship problems with proper emotional responses.
