Basics of qualitative research: Grounded theory procedures and techniques

Qualitative methods in psychology: A research guide

Analysis terminable and interminable.

This article offers both a practice-friendly review of research on therapists' personal therapy and a new study of personal psychotherapy among 3,995 psychologists, counselors, social workers, psychiatrists, and nurses in 6 English-speaking countries. The prevalence of personal therapy as it relates to professional discipline, theoretical orientation, gender, and career level are studied. Findings showed that 87% of the overall sample embarked on personal therapy at least once: 94% of analytic/psychodynamic therapists, 91% of humanistic therapists, 73% of cognitive-behavioral therapists, 82% of the novice therapists to 89% of senior therapists. Both the existing research and this new study demonstrate the extraordinary commonality of personal therapy among psychotherapists, and encourage further use for professional training, clinical practice, and therapist self-care.

Utilization of personal therapy by psychotherapists: a practice-friendly review and a new study.

A qualitative study was carried out with recently qualified and trainee counselling psychologists to investigate their opinions as to the impact of mandatory personal therapy on their professional development. The methodology employed was grounded theory using data obtained from indvidual and group interviews. The results indicate that mandatory personal therapy can lead to perceived positive outcomes in terms of professional development including: a sense of the self as a professional through developing reflexivity as a result of being in the role of client; socialization into a professional role through validational and normative experiences such as the therapist modelling good and poor practice; support during times of personal difficulty; and, personal development that leads to a perceived improved ability for the participant to distinguish between personal issues and those of the client. An important effect for participants who did not have a previous substantial experience of personal therapy appear...

Counselling psychologists' perceptions of the impact of mandatory personal therapy on professional development--an exploratory study

In order to become a registered practitioner in most forms of therapeutic
training in the UK it is now a requirement to have had personal therapy. The
great majority of member organisations of the UK Council for Psychotherapy require their members to have had personal therapy, although at least
three from both cognitive-behavioural and systemic orientations do not
require it. For counselling psychologists to be eligible for Chartered Psychologist status with the British Psychological Society (BPS) they must have at
least 40 hours of personal therapy during training BPS (2003). Since October
1998 the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) has
required applicants for Individual Counsellor Accreditation to complete a
minimum of 40 hours of personal counselling, or demonstrate that they have
had an equivalent experience of being a client, consistent with their core
theoretical model, although not necessarily during training (BACP 2003a).
Applicants must describe how therapy has contributed to their development
as a counsellor and how it beneﬁts their work with clients (BACP 2003b).
Currently there is no requirement for trainee clinical or educational psychologists to have any personal therapy. For the purpose of this chapter the term
‘therapy’ is used interchangeably with counselling. The term ‘therapist’ is
used to refer to psychotherapists, counsellors and psychologists.
