Sitting In: The Experience of Learning and Practicing Family Therapy through Being a Co-Therapist in Hong Kong.

Abstract:

:This article explores family therapy trainees' subjective experiences of working as cotherapists with a supervisory-level therapist in a Chinese context, regarding their perceptions of and positioning in it and also their opinions on the benefits and/or pitfalls of cotherapy. Individual interviews with a total of six cotherapists revealed three themes: (1) Cotherapy was perceived as an experiential learning journey that evolved from anxiety and excitement to empowerment and nurturing; (2) a collaborative master-apprentice relationship of openness, trust, and mutual respect was developed with both sides' interactive effort, which included common commitment and concern for the client, the supervisor's awareness and explicit address of the role hierarchy, principle setting prior to the cooperation, and honest pre- and-postsession sharing and discussion; (3) the dual-purpose supervisor-trainee cotherapy brought direct benefits for all involved parties and for others. The findings have useful implications for integrating treatment and training for optimal training/learning outcomes and for advancing knowledge transfer from senior to junior and from academia to the field, with reference to local cultural characteristics. :Este artículo analiza las experiencias subjetivas de los practicantes de terapia familiar en su trabajo como coterapeutas con un terapeuta supervisor en un contexto chino, con respecto a sus percepciones de la coterapia y a su posicionamiento en ella, y también sus opiniones sobre los beneficios o los inconvenientes de la coterapia. Las entrevistas individuales con un total de seis coterapeutas revelaron tres temas: (1) la coterapia se percibió como un viaje de aprendizaje empírico que pasó de la ansiedad y el entusiasmo al empoderamiento y el estímulo; (2) se desarrolló una relación colaborativa de sinceridad, confianza y respeto mutuo entre el maestro y el aprendiz con el esfuerzo interactivo de ambas partes, que incluyó el compromiso común y la preocupación por el paciente, la comprensión del supervisor y el abordaje explícito de la jerarquía de roles, la fijación de principios antes de la cooperación, y el intercambio y el debate sinceros antes y después de la sesión; (3) la coterapia con doble finalidad entre el supervisor y el practicante tuvo beneficios directos para todas las partes implicadas y para los demás. Los hallazgos tienen consecuencias útiles para la integración del tratamiento y la capacitación a fin de obtener resultados óptimos a nivel de capacitación y aprendizaje, y de fomentar el traspaso de conocimiento desde los profesionales experimentados a los profesionales noveles, y desde el mundo académico al ejercicio de la profesión, con referencia a características culturales locales. :本文研究对象是在中国背景下参与家庭治疗培训的学员, 调查了他们与治疗师督导 一起合作实施治疗的主观经验, 包括他们对共同治疗的看法和在共同治疗过程中的自我定 位, 以及他们对共同治疗的好处和/或缺点的认知。本研究涉及总共六位参与共同治疗过 程的学员, 逐个进行单独访谈, 分析后得出了三个方面的主题: (1)共同治疗被视为一 种体验式学习经历, 学员经历了从焦虑和兴奋到被赋权和成长进步的学习之旅;(2) 通 过双方的互动努力, 形成了开放、信任、相互尊重的协作型师徒关系, 包括对来访者承担 共同的责任和关注同样的重要方面、督导对角色等级的认知和明确表述、合作前共同制定 原则、每次治疗会谈后双方进行坦诚的反思分享和讨论;(3)督导-学员共同治疗的实践 实现双重目的, 给所有相关方和其他各方都带来了好处。这些研究发现对于把具体治疗实 践和培训结合起来, 实现培训/学习成果的最优化, 促进知识从高级治疗师到初级学员的 迁移以及从学术界向实际场景转移, 并考虑到当地地域文化特性等等方面都具有有益的启 示意义。.
