To explore the nature of professional wisdom, through learning from the experiences of a group of highly experienced senior therapists.
Twelve senior psychotherapists took part in qualitative in-depth interviews about their professional role and their views around a range of aspects of therapy theory and practice. Interview transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis.
The analysis yielded nine wisdom themes, clustered within three domains. Each domain represented efforts to resolve dilemmas arising from the experience of being a therapist, around the use of theory in psychotherapy practice, the type of therapeutic relationship that is most helpful for clients, and the experience of therapeutic failure.
Therapist wisdom can be viewed as a form of contextualized knowledge, which functions as a source of emergent insights that arise as responses to the limitations of prevailing ways of thinking. Research into the nature of therapist wisdom draws attention to sources of knowledge within philosophy and the humanities that have the potential to enhance therapy practice and contribute to our understanding of therapist expertise.
通过借鉴一群经验丰富的资深治疗师的经验，探索专业智慧的本质。
12 名资深心理治疗师参与了关于其专业角色以及治疗理论和实践各个方面的深入定性访谈。对访谈记录进行了主题分析。
分析产生了 9 个智慧主题，分为 3 个领域。每个领域都代表了在治疗实践中使用理论、对最有助于客户的治疗关系类型以及治疗失败的体验方面，解决治疗师经验所产生的困境的努力。
治疗师智慧可以被视为一种情境化的知识形式，它作为突发洞察力的来源，作为对现有思维方式局限性的反应而出现。对治疗师智慧本质的研究引起了人们对哲学和人文学科内潜在的知识来源的关注，这些知识来源有可能增强治疗实践，并有助于我们理解治疗师的专业知识。
