亲密恐惧，指的是个体在建立或维护亲密关系过程中所经历的焦虑和恐惧，这种心理状态不仅影响个体的社交互动，也对其心理健康造成负面影响。对于经历过失恋这一情感创伤的大学生而言，亲密恐惧可能会更加显著，从而影响到他们未来建立健康亲密关系的能力，严重时会影响到个体的日常社交活动和心理健康。因此，关注经历过浪漫关系破裂的大学生的亲密恐惧问题具有重要的临床意义，本研究旨在探讨针对这一特定群体的有效干预措施，以期提供理论依据和实践指导，帮助他们克服亲密恐惧，恢复社交功能，促进心理健康。

研究者在研究过程中梳理了亲密恐惧的定义、成因、理论基础以及失恋对大学生的心理影响与以往的干预方式，同时回顾了团体箱庭疗法在处理情感创伤和心理障碍中的应用背景。证明了团体箱庭疗法在多个领域显示出了治疗潜力，尤其在关系领域的治疗效果已成共识，但更深一层的治疗机制仍需要进一步探明。故本研究引入功能分析治疗，该疗法聚焦人际关系，在很多疗法的协同工作中被证实有效提升了治疗效果。从理论层面，功能分析治疗强调治疗师与来访者之间关系的重要性，视其为治疗成功的根本。这与箱庭疗法强调的“母子一体性”的咨访关系和“自由与受保护的空间”的治疗假设不谋而合。在这个基础上，本研究提出了一个结构化的整合框架，深化对团体箱庭疗法干预机制的理解，并且在操作层面上实现了对浪漫关系破裂大学生具体的整合型的治疗策略。

本研究以在校大学生为研究对象，通过网络招募的形式，采用团体箱庭疗法结合功能分析治疗的方式进行每周一次、每次2小时、一共8次的线下团体干预，旨在提高个体建立健康稳定关系的能力，改善其对人际交往的态度。

研究者采用被试内实验设计，以评估干预方案对亲密恐惧状态的影响。首先，研究者通过《亲密恐惧量表》和《FAP亲密度量表》以及一对一半结构化访谈，对参与者的初始状态进行了详细评估。基于这些初步数据，研究者选择了4名表现出在人际和亲密关系方面有显著困难的团体成员，且都有过因浪漫关系破裂而引发的亲密恐惧经历。接着，研究者进行了8次团体干预，包括1次团体建设与7次团体箱庭结合功能分析治疗活动。干预结束中期和后期，使用相同的量表对团体成员进行了中测与后测。并在干预结束后对每位成员进行一对一访谈，研究者综合考察了团体整体箱庭作品、每位成员量表得分、自我像选择以及他们的主观体验报告，以此来评价干预效果的有效性。

研究结果表明，团体箱庭疗法与功能分析治疗相结合，对于缓解失恋大学生的亲密恐惧具有一定效果。其中三位成员的亲密恐惧分数均有所下降，整体亲密度得分提升，干预后成员在亲密关系的主观感受中报告感到更少的恐惧和更多的亲近感。在自我像的选择方面，也变得倾向于选择更积极、强大或愉快的自我像。成员们的自我报告也表明他们对团体治疗过程感到满意，感觉到了成长和改变，尤其在人际交往中的自信和开放度有所提升。基于功能分析治疗视角下的团体箱庭干预不仅有助于处理亲密恐惧，也促进了个体的整体心理恢复。

Fear of intimacy refers to the anxiety and fear experienced by individuals in establishing or maintaining close relationships. This psychological state not only affects social interactions but also has a negative impact on mental health. For college students who have undergone the emotional trauma of a breakup, this fear can be more pronounced, potentially affecting their ability to form healthy intimate relationships in the future and, in severe cases, their daily social activities and mental health. Therefore, addressing the fear of intimacy in students who have experienced romantic breakups is of significant clinical importance. This study aims to explore effective intervention measures for this specific group, providing theoretical and practical guidance to help them overcome their fears, restore social function, and promote mental health.

Researchers reviewed the definition, causes, theoretical foundations of fear of intimacy, and the psychological impact of breakups on college students, along with previous intervention methods. The study highlights the potential of Group Sand-play Therapy in treating emotional trauma and psychological disorders, particularly in relational therapy, but calls for deeper investigation into its therapeutic mechanisms. This research introduces Functional Analytic Therapy, which focuses on interpersonal intimacy and has proven to enhance treatment outcomes in conjunction with other therapies. The importance of the therapeutic relationship is emphasized as a key to success in treatment, aligning with the core principles of sand-play therapy.

The study involved college students who participated in an 8-session group intervention using both sand-play and functional analytic therapies to improve their ability to establish stable relationships and attitudes towards social interactions.

A within-subject experimental design was used to assess the intervention's impact on fear of intimacy. Initial evaluations included the Fear of Intimacy Scale and FAP Intimacy Scale, alongside semi-structured interviews. After selecting participants who showed significant difficulties in interpersonal and intimate relationships post-breakup, the researchers conducted eight group sessions. The effectiveness of the intervention was assessed through repeated measures and post-intervention interviews, examining changes in fear of intimacy scores, intimacy levels, self-image choices, and subjective experience reports.

Results indicated that combining sand-play with functional analytic therapy effectively reduced fear of intimacy among participants, who reported less fear and more closeness in their relationships post-intervention. They also chose more positive and empowering self-images, reflecting satisfaction with the therapy and perceived personal growth, especially in confidence and openness in social interactions. This integrated approach not only addresses fear of intimacy but also facilitates overall psychological recovery.
