With growing evidence for the potential value of personal practices (PPs) in therapist training, it is important to determine which PPs may be most valuable for which therapists under what conditions. This is the first study to compare the impact of two different PPs selected by accredited therapy training programs as the most appropriate PP for their trainees. Using the same validated outcome measure, the Self-focused Practice Questionnaire, the impact of personal therapy for counselling psychology trainees was compared with the impact of self-practice/self-reflection (SP/SR) training for CBT trainees. The number of PP hours was similar across the two groups. The SP/SR group were older and may have been more experienced professionally. SP/SR was perceived by CBT trainees to be significantly more beneficial for personal and professional development than personal therapy by counselling trainees. Possible reasons are discussed. Although the study does not constitute a direct experimental comparison of personal therapy and SP/SR amongst matched trainees of the same theoretical orientation, it is notable in demonstrating that in training contexts where PP was mandatory, SP/SR was experienced more positively by the CBT trainees than personal therapy by the counselling trainees.
随着越来越多的证据表明个人实践（PPs）在治疗师培训中的潜在价值，确定哪些 PPs 在哪些条件下对哪些治疗师最有价值是很重要的。这是第一项比较两种不同的 PP 的研究，这些 PP 是由认可的治疗培训计划选择的，被认为是最适合其学员的 PP。使用相同的经过验证的结果衡量标准，自我聚焦实践问卷，比较了咨询心理学学员的个人治疗和认知行为治疗学员的自我实践/自我反思（SP/SR）培训的影响。这两个组的 PP 时间相似。SP/SR 组年龄较大，可能在专业上更有经验。CBT 学员认为 SP/SR 对个人和职业发展的益处明显大于咨询学员的个人治疗。讨论了可能的原因。尽管该研究并不是在相同理论取向的匹配学员中直接进行个人治疗和 SP/SR 的实验比较，但值得注意的是，在要求进行 PP 的培训环境中，CBT 学员对 SP/SR 的体验比咨询学员对个人治疗的体验更积极。
