THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LOGOTHERAPY COUNSELING MODEL DEVELOPMENT TO IMPROVE LOW SELF-ESTEEM OF WOMEN VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING
ABSTRACT: The research aimed
to produce an effective developmental model of logotherapy counseling to improve
the low self-esteem of women victims of traffi cking. The research employed
descriptiveanalytical method, using quasi-experiment because it aimed to
describe, analyze, and test the effectiveness of logotherapy counseling model.
The activities of the research consisted of a series of model validity test,
namely model rationality test, model practicability test, limited test and fi
eld test; hence, the research used research and development, participatory approach,
and a mix of qualitative and quantitative research. The techniques of data
collection used were interview, questionnaire, and observation. The results of
the research demonstrated that the use of logotherapy counseling as an
intervention program for the experimental group was more effective and had
given better results in the dynamics of behavior changes among women victims of
traffi cking. The effectiveness was also proven by the results of observation
and interview, showing positive values in the dynamics of victims’ behavior
changes. Logotherapy counseling model has its strengths in self-exploration,
self-acceptance, dissociation, self-transcendence, attitudinal values, and
self-awareness, which are integrated with self-potential, self-activity and self-evaluation,
so that the model can trigger positive changes among the women victims of traffi
cking. Therefore, there should be a training manual of logotherapy counseling
model for social workers in order to improve both conceptual and empirical
aspects of treatment, where the former focuses on material comprehension,
problem and skill development; and the latter on technique, counseling strategy
and approach.
