Book The Impact of Personal Therapy on Graduate Training in Psychology

Download or read book The Impact of Personal Therapy on Graduate Training in Psychology written by Eric Everson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While broad support exists for trainees in professional psychology who decide to seek personal therapy, surprisingly little literature has focused on their perspective of the experience of attending therapy while in training. The impact of such experiences could have important implications not only for trainees, but also for their training programs. Given the relative lack of empirical attention in this area, this study hoped to provide a rich understanding of how trainees are affected by personal therapy while in training, as well as how this experience was viewed by their graduate programs. Eleven master{u2019}s- and doctoral-level trainees were interviewed. Most participants had attended therapy at least once prior to beginning their training programs, and they largely reported forming healthy, effective relationships with their therapists. Participants had mostly positive experiences in therapy, feeling that it had a beneficial influence on their functioning personally, academically, and clinically. They viewed their academic programs as being supportive of personal therapy for trainees, and most shared pieces of their experience with peers and faculty/staff members. Nearly all participants felt strongly that personal therapy is an integral part of graduate training, asserting that programs should encourage such therapy for their trainees. Limitations and implications for training, practice, and research are addressed.

Book Exploring the Effects of Personal Counseling on the Development of Counselors in Training

Download or read book Exploring the Effects of Personal Counseling on the Development of Counselors in Training written by Kathleen H. Driscoll and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Graduate students from all disciplines report stressful experiences related to academic workload, lack of a healthy work life balance, assistantship responsibilities, and finances (Fox, 2008; Mazzola et al., 2011; Oswalt & Riddock, 2007; Wyatt & Oswalt 2013). Specifically, counselors in training (CITs) experience a combination of graduate school academic rigor with the practice of sitting with clients and developing skills, knowledge, and counseling style. Becoming a counselor is emotionally demanding (Folkes-Skinner, 2016; Folkes-Skinner, Elliot, & Wheeler, 2010; Howard, Inman, & Altman, 2006; Orlinksy & Rønnestad, 2005; Skovholt & Rønnestad, 2003) and interpersonal and intrapersonal changes are elicited through training (Furr & Carroll, 2003). As self-exploration is emerging in training, perturbation of the self is also developing, occasioning developmental transitions that present unique challenges. It appears that CITs need support throughout their counselor development journey to buffer personal and psychological distress. Although there may be many such factors, including emotional, logistical, and financial support from family and friends, the support of other students in the program, and faculty who are sensitive to student struggles, personal counseling seems one approach to self-care and self-awareness that warrants attention. It seems possible that personal counseling may be an avenue for CITs that could facilitate increased self-awareness, healthy counselor development, and personal well-being. To date, research on personal counseling has been primarily a) international, b) with participants who were mandated to access counseling, and c) with participants who were from a range of interdisciplinary mental health training programs. Accordingly, little is known specifically about US-based CITs' experiences related to accessing personal counseling during their training program. That is, counselor education researchers have yet to uncover the breadth and depth of the lived experiences of US-based CITs who voluntarily access counseling services. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of CITs accessing personal counseling and how this impacts counselor development in specific regards to self-awareness, empathy development, self-reflection, tolerance for ambiguity, self-efficacy, and self-care. The following research questions were addressed through this study: (1) What are the experiences of CITs utilizing personal counseling during their training program? (2) How do CITs understand how their personal counseling experience has influenced their development as a professional counselor? Through qualitative interviews, the experiences of CITs and the impacts on counselor development were explored, as well as the positive and negative aspects of these experiences. In analyzing ten individual interviews with master's level CITs voluntary seeking counseling, five domains emerged that provide insight into the research questions. The domains include the following: (1) previous counseling experience, (2) motivation, (3) personal takeaways of going to counseling, (4) professional takeaways of going to counseling, and (5) other. Categories and subcategories emerged within these domains as well including the following: a) academic/professional encouragement, b) meaningful counseling experiences, c) family, social and cultural influences, d) logistical barriers, e) counselor relationship, f) learning from the counseling, g) positive impact on counselor development, and h) personal counseling is considered "best practice". Research results, study limitations, implications for counselor educators, counselor training, and CITs, and future research directions are discussed."--Abstract from author supplied metadata

Book Personality Factors  Self care  and Perceived Stress Levels on Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Doctoral Students

Download or read book Personality Factors Self care and Perceived Stress Levels on Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Doctoral Students written by Jennifer L. Bauer and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral students in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education training programs are commonly thought to experience high levels of stress due to the nature of graduate school (Badali & Habra, 2003). Many (Blount & Mullen, 2015; Meyers, 2015; Moorhead, Gill, Minton, & Myers, 2012; Sawyer, 2013) argue that self-care is an important and necessary topic to discuss and integrate into graduate training. This study quantitatively explores aspects of personality, self-care, and perceived stress levels of graduate students in American Psychological Association (APA) accredited Counseling Psychology doctoral programs and Counselor Education doctoral programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The rationale for this study is to gain a deeper understanding of doctoral students so that topics such as self-care may be addressed by doctoral programs in the future. It is imperative for doctoral students to create healthy self-care habits during training as those habits are likely to continue into their professional life after graduation. A total of 116 students completed a survey consisting of demographic information, self-care frequency questions, the Big Five Inventory, the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Semantic Differential Scales, and the Perceived Stress Scale. The data were analyzed using statistical computations including a hierarchical regression, correlations, independent-samples t tests and ANOVA to answer hypotheses. The major findings in this study include the following: (a) there is an association between mindful acceptance and lower reported perceived stress level; (b) there is an association between higher use of expressive suppression and higher reported perceived stress; (c) there is a positive relationship between the personality factor Agreeableness and self-care frequency; (d) there is a negative relationship between the personality factor Agreeableness and reported perceived stress; and (e) there is a strong correlation between the personality factor Neuroticism and perceived stress. Results indicate there is a negative correlation between perceived stress and mindful acceptance, self-care frequency, and three personality factors, which are agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness. This means that as mindful acceptance, self-care frequency, agreeableness, openness or conscientiousness increase, the reported perceived stress levels decrease. There are positive correlations with perceived stress and suppression and the personality factor neuroticism indicating that graduate students who report higher levels of neuroticism or expressive suppression also reported higher levels of perceived stress. This topic is important because it is likely that graduate students will continue to practice self-care strategies learned during their training program into their professional lives. Essentially, incorporating self-care into graduate programs could alleviate future impairment, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Based on the results of this study, implications, recommendations, and limitations are discussed.

Book Testing and Assessment in Counseling Practice

Download or read book Testing and Assessment in Counseling Practice written by C. Edward Watkins, Jr. and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this revision remains identical to that of the first edition--to show how key personality, cognitive/behavioral, and vocational tests/assessment procedures can be used by counselors in their work with clients. Too often, assessment books only provide the reader with information about tests and assessment procedures. They do not, however, take the next step--showing readers how these tests/assessment procedures can be used and integrated into the actual work of counseling. This revision is designed to fill that void. Chapter authors, all of whom are experts in their respective topic areas, share the theoretical and research backgrounds about a particular test/assessment procedure and then provide a case example or examples to show how assessment data can be meaningfully incorporated into the counseling process.

Book The Effects of Self care Practices on Perceived Stress of School Psychology Graduate Students

Download or read book The Effects of Self care Practices on Perceived Stress of School Psychology Graduate Students written by Nicole Zelhofer and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perceived stress levels of psychology graduate students across the nation is greatly increasing. Stress can lead to many mental health disorders in students, along with a lack of enthusiasm and meaning in one's work, impairment in ethical decision making, lack of compassion for clients, burnout, and neglecting one's physical health. A majority of the research regarding perceived stress and psychology graduate students include clinical and counseling psychology, yet school psychology graduate students share the same responsibilities and roles. School psychology graduate students balance rigorous coursework, graduate assistantships, supervising meetings for their training, research, and additional service opportunities with life outside of graduate school. A stress reduction technique commonly researched with graduate students is self-care, the process of actively initiating a method to promote holistic well-being. According to the participant's responses, self-care practices do not have an effect on school psychology graduate students' levels of stress. However, the graduate students noted that program expectations, such as time limitations and an excessive workload, are their largest stressors and physical and emotional self-care practices are utilized the most amongst the participants.

Book People Skills for Behavior Analysts

Download or read book People Skills for Behavior Analysts written by Carmen Hall and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People Skills for Behavior Analysts provides a much-needed introduction to the people skills needed to succeed as a behavior analyst. Divided into two primary parts – Foundational Skills and Specialized Skills – this book addresses an impressive breadth of people skills, focusing on intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, collaboration, consultation and training, leadership, and resource development. Relying on recent evidence-based practices and relevant literature tailored to meet the new BACB Task List, Professional & Ethical Compliance Code, and Supervised Independent Fieldwork requirements, the text includes contributions from leading figures from a wide variety of applied behavior analysis subfields to provide a truly balanced overview. The book delves into the literature from fields related to behavior analysis, such as counselling, psychology, graphic design, management and education, and applies these perspectives to behavioral theories and principles to provide students, new graduates, and seasoned professionals with research, best practices, reflective questions, and practical techniques. From reflecting on one’s practice, to learning essential therapeutic skills, running a great meeting, becoming a ‘super’ supervisor, and delivering a memorable presentation, all people skills are included in one place for the behavior practitioner. This is a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students studying Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and will also appeal to recent graduates and behavior analysts looking to improve their existing skillset.
