Description

We conducted a questionnaire survey of beginner therapists and explored their growth process based on the results. The First and second year therapists found qualitative differences in their parents’ psychological understanding and technical maturity. The first year therapists focused on the psychological state of individuals involved in parenting. They also tried to stay true to the goals of the Parent’s Association program. The second year therapists felt the psychological transformation of the parents due to the interaction between participants. They were also flexible according to the group dynamics. These differences were because the therapist’s wider observation range allowed them to pay attention to multiple parents. Therapists need to be educated to integrate clinical practice with the theory of group therapy.
