Personal practice (PP) is often considered as a central component in psychotherapy training aiming to promote personal and therapeutic competences. However, its implementation varies considerably in practice.
The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the current practice of PP regarding the frequency/occurrence and perceived usefulness/impairment of topics, techniques and effects, as well as its helpful characteristics in psychotherapy training.
407 German psychotherapy trainees (214 cognitive behavioural therapy; 178 psychodynamic therapy) were surveyed online as to their current practice of PP.
For trainees, personal and therapeutic related topics were discussed. Reflection techniques and self-experiential practice were among the most frequently reported strategies, while the fostering of personal and interpersonal competences was among the effects with the strongest occurrence. However, negative PP effects were recorded as well. Differences in PP practice emerged between therapeutic orientations.
As certain techniques which are central to PP (e.g. self-experience) were also rarely or not used, and negative effects reported, its potential might not be fully utilized.
个人实践(PP)通常被视为心理治疗培训的核心组成部分,旨在提升个人能力和治疗能力。然而,在实际操作中其实施情况差异很大。
这项探索性研究的目的是考察个人实践在主题、技术和效果的频率/发生率以及感知到的有用性/损害方面的当前实践情况,及其在心理治疗培训中的有益特征。
对407名德国心理治疗学员(214名认知行为疗法学员;178名心理动力疗法学员)进行了在线调查,了解他们个人实践的当前情况。
学员们讨论了与个人和治疗相关的主题。反思技术和自我体验实践是报告最多的策略,而个人能力和人际能力的培养是出现频率最高的效果之一。然而,也记录到了个人实践的负面影响。不同治疗取向在个人实践方面存在差异。
由于个人实践的某些核心技术(如自我体验)也很少被使用或未被使用,并且报告了负面影响,其潜力可能未得到充分利用。
