Abstract
The majority of psychologists cry in their role as therapists but no research has explored training or supervision in relation to this topic. Psychologists and trainees (N = 686) filled out a survey on therapist crying in therapy. Almost all (96.5%) reported that psychologists should be trained on how to handle their emotions, but only 36.4% reported receiving training on therapist crying. Half of all respondents reported having discussed crying with a supervisor; one-third had never discussed their most recent tears with anyone. Suggestions are offered for supervisors in order to manage discussion of therapist crying in therapy (TCIT) in psychotherapists’ training. © 2015, Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
