To date, the research on psychotherapy outcomes has tended to concentrate on psychotherapies and treatments rather than on the characteristics of psychotherapists themselves. Perhaps surprisingly, there has been little systematic research on therapists' own personal and professional development. This volume documents an ambitious, multinational survey that helps correct that situation.
This course is designed to help you:
- Identify and assess psychotherapists’ experiences of cumulative career development, and the factors that promote development at different career levels,
- Identify and assess the growth and depletion aspects of current development that are experienced by psychologists and other therapeutic practitioners,
- Recognize and select relevant strategies for preventing or reducing levels of currently experienced depletion that may lead to professional burnout,
- Identify and assess independent fulfilling and stressful aspects of therapeutic practice experienced by psychologists and other mental health professionals,
- Recognize and select relevant strategies for reducing stressful experiences in therapeutic practice, and for buffering its negative impact on professional development,
- Analyze the reciprocal relations between currently experienced growth and depletion and different patterns of therapeutic practice, as an evidence-based framework for making individual career decisions, and planning and implementing clinical training programs, and
- Acquire a model of systematic empirical research that uses quantitative methods in a clinically-informed and clinically relevant way.
