This paper describes the experiences of psychotherapists who, as part of a practice research network (PRN), collaborated with researchers in designing and conducting a psychotherapy study within their own clinical practices. A qualitative analysis of interviews conducted with these psychotherapists led to the delineation of several benefits (e.g., learning information that improved their work with clients and feeling that they were contributing to research that would be useful for psychotherapists) and difficulties for them and their clients (e.g., time and effort required to integrate research protocol into routine clinical practice) that psychotherapists associated with their participation in the PRN. Also identified were a number of strategies used by psychotherapists to address obstacles that they encountered, as well as general recommendations for future PRN studies. As a whole, the experiences of these psychotherapists are likely to provide valuable lessons for the survival and growth of what is viewed by many as a promising pathway for building a stronger bridge between practice and research.
本文描述了心理治疗师的经验，他们作为实践研究网络（PRN）的一部分，与研究人员合作，在自己的临床实践中设计和进行心理治疗研究。对这些心理治疗师进行的访谈的定性分析导致他们确定了一些好处（例如，学习了可以改善他们与客户工作的信息，并且感到他们正在为对心理治疗师有用的研究做出贡献）和他们及其客户面临的一些困难（例如，将研究方案整合到常规临床实践中所需的时间和精力）与他们参与 PRN 相关。还确定了心理治疗师用来解决他们遇到的障碍的一些策略，以及对未来 PRN 研究的一般建议。总的来说，这些心理治疗师的经验可能为许多人认为有前途的实践与研究之间建立更强桥梁的途径的生存和发展提供了宝贵的经验教训。
