“…Preliminary evidence has been helpful in reflecting and validating both the need for a systematic PPD approach within the Course (as highlighted by the trainees' concerns regarding the stressors of their role), as well as the intended value of, and areas for further consideration within, the current PPD methods. For example, specific attention can now be directed towards promoting the buddy system, and in general towards facilitating a positive attitude towards help-seeking behaviour (Dearing, Maddux, & Tangney, 2005). On the basis of feedback and trainees' essays on their understanding of PPD, it appears that the PPD model is relatively successful in making the links explicit between the various components of the course and the experiential learning cycle, promoting a person-centred framework for trainee development.…”

Staff development has been identified as a key way to improve the delivery of psychological therapies, particularly through enhancing professionals' capacity for reflective practice. Traditionally, the 'reflective practitioner' model has guided how we train professionals to deliver therapies, but this model is vague and needs refinement. We therefore outlined a more coherent model, by integrating the ideas and methods of these and other educationalists into our working definition of the 'Personal Professional Development' (PPD). We proposed that reflection can be made explicit within a circumplex model that is based upon an experiential learning cycle. This allowed 'reflective practice' to be developed systematically and analyzed empirically. We detailed how PPD is addressed within one clinical psychology training program, and provided some initial, promising evaluation data to support the approach. The need for further development and evaluation of our model and its associated methods is discussed as an appropriately reflexive next phase.

“…As willingness to seek help is related to actual help seeking in the general population, 41 the RWP survey responses are a good indicator of future behavior. The rate of RWP utilization at our institution was 5% of trainees in 2004-2005 and 12% of trainees in 2009-2010.…”

Background High rates of burnout and distress in resident physicians suggest a significant number would benefit from counseling. Intervention A resident wellness program (RWP) was designed to lower known barriers limiting resident access to services. Methods In 2011, medical residents and fellows were surveyed and logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify demographic and training program differences in perceived barriers and willingness to access the RWP. Results Of the 88% of trainees who knew about the RWP, 87% indicated they would be very likely or somewhat likely to seek out services. Time remained the biggest barrier for residents to getting help. Being male (odds ratio [OR] = 0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.34–0.84) or an ethnic/racial minority (OR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.28–0.85) was associated with greater unwillingness to seek counseling. Reluctance to access the RWP was associated with concerns about helpfulness, confidentiality, being unable to take a break, and stigma. Women (OR = 1.60, 95% CI 1.06–2.42) and primary care residents (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 0.98–2.54) were more likely to be concerned about taking a break. Men were more likely to question the helpfulness of counseling (OR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.36–0.85). Conclusions The RWP removed barriers of cost and knowledge about counseling services. More educational outreach is needed to address sex and ethnic differences about RWP utilization and attitudes in medical culture about a physician's right to address personal health care needs.

“…A recent study of 262 United States counseling psychology graduate students found that perceived barriers to personal therapy included cost, time, and confidentiality concerns (Dearing, Maddux, & Tangney, 2005). Seeking therapy was associated with year in the training program, believing that therapy was necessary to training, having positive attitudes towards help seeking, and concerns about confidentiality.…”

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

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.
