The personal themes presented by 210 health care professionals in the training group component of an annual group psychotherapy course are described. The course, begun in 1976, provides inexperienced group leaders with an introduction to theory and a personal group experience in 12 weekly sessions. Within this brief period, the development of a cohesive working group is possible. Members have revealed much personal tragedy which cannot be expressed at work for fear of being thought weak. At times in their clinical work members have felt helpless and hopeless. Giving care and not receiving it has been a burden. The group experience has allowed members to transcend professional rivalries and see each other as people and not in stereotype. Members have often feared damaging their careers by self-disclosure and, for some, the group has provided the first opportunity for intimate dialogue with colleagues. The groups have supported members through personal crises and helped them make career decisions. The results highlight the value to staff of having a safe, non-punitive group setting in which they may speak of personal issues that trouble them, begin to become aware of how their own personality and life experience may impair and enrich their ability as therapists, and surmount the obstacle of stereotyping to meet their colleagues in dialogue.
本文描述了210名医疗保健专业人员在年度团体心理治疗课程培训组中呈现的个人主题。该课程始于1976年，为缺乏经验的团体领导者提供理论介绍，并在12次每周一次的课程中提供个人团体体验。在这短暂的时间内，形成一个有凝聚力的工作团体是可能的。成员们透露了许多个人悲剧，由于担心被认为软弱，这些悲剧在工作中无法表达。在临床工作中，成员们有时会感到无助和绝望。给予关怀却得不到关怀是一种负担。团体体验使成员们能够超越职业竞争，将彼此视为普通人而非刻板印象中的人。成员们常常担心自我表露会损害自己的职业生涯，对一些人来说，这个团体为他们提供了与同事进行亲密对话的第一次机会。这些团体在成员个人危机期间给予支持，并帮助他们做出职业决策。结果凸显了为员工提供一个安全、无惩罚性的团体环境的价值，在这个环境中，他们可以谈论困扰自己的个人问题，开始意识到自己的个性和生活经历如何可能损害或丰富他们作为治疗师的能力，并克服刻板印象的障碍，在对话中与同事见面。
