“…This complexity needs to be understood in light of continuing debates about the benefits of psychological therapy. Bellamy et al (, p. 14) note that in the current era where “health decisions are being increasingly driven by economic agendas,” and there is more demand on health resources due to an increasing and aging population, psychologists are under increased pressure to demonstrate that their services are efficient and effective. Perceived threats come from other professions offering more “cost effective” options, such as medication or low cost, manualised therapies.…”

Although the psychologist's own emotional management is an integral part of psychological therapy, it is often assumed rather than discussed; the “feeling rules” for the profession are unarticulated. This research explores psychologists' accounts of emoting within the therapeutic relationship to explore the profession's norms and expectations for emotional expression and to look critically at their function. We use the affective practice theory of emotion to consider how emotions come to be patterned within the frames set by the occupational identity of the psychologist. Through analysing transcripts from interviews with practicing psychologists, we produce accounts of three interpretative repertoires and associated subject positions. We consider how psychologists have come to construct their emotions in dilemmatic ways and how this construction of emotions is part of what demarcates them as a social group.
