1	The learning and teaching of systemic therapy : an action research approach Louw, Willem P. 04 1900 (has links) Text in English / The training of psychotherapists not only determines what new therapists learn about the practice of therapy, but influences significantly their identity and the development of a professional self. This dissertation explores the professional development of a trainee therapist, taking into consideration the training context and training approach, the trainee's unique training needs and the influence of own interactional style. The study was undertaken from an action research perspective, therefore emphasising solving a problem in the field and feeding this information back into the system during the course of the research project. The researcher describes how the training context (in this case, the Agape Healing Community in Mamelodi, South Africa), the training approach (systemic family therapy), and his personal style shaped his professional sense of self. He found however, that it was the process of action research which encouraged movement from feelings of inadequacy to competence in his professional development. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology) Action research Systemic training Professional development Agape Healing Community Supervision Trainee psychotherapist Postmodernism Therapist helplessness Self-reflexiveness 616.8914 Psychotherapy Systemic therapy (Family therapy)

3	Talking sticks and BMW's: ritual, power and authority in a psychotherapy training placement Jansen, Shahieda 01 January 2002 (has links) This study explores trainees' experiences of power dynamics within a ritualised training context, with reference to the three major aspects of the study: training, ritual and power. The psychotherapeutic training took place at Agape, a community-based counselling service in Mamelodi, whose theoretical approach to training included a mixture of postmodern, ecosystemic and African traditions. A substantial literature survey examines the major concepts and issues related to the research subject, such as psychotherapeutic training approaches, the philosophies and theories that may inform training procedures, ritual practices in psychotherapy, and organisational and power aspects of psychotherapeutic training. The research process was executed using the qualitative, interpretive research methodology. A sample of six of the trainees who had completed their training at this placement was interviewed, and two of the trainers. The researcher's reflections on her own training experiences are woven into the material. Using the interview technique and through asking a series of open-ended questions, the researcher obtained an account of the subjective, sacralised training interactions at Agape. Themes were identified that had emerged during the interview process. In brief, the themes referred to trainees' theoretical and practical experiences in the training placement, how they made sense of the sacralised therapeutic experiences, and comments on their relationship with trainers and fellow trainees. The most common theme that emerged was that of power. The end product of this study portrays the trainees' understandings of power within a sacralised psychotherapeutic context and their responses to this. This study makes explicit the links between ritualisation and power within an evaluative psychotherapeutic training context, and the consequences of this for training. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology) Psychotherapy Ritual Power Psychotherapy clinic Healing Community Trainees Sacralised training ineractions Training placement Theoretical orientation Psychotherapeutic training Therapist's power Trainer-trainee relationship Community African healing paradigm Training institution Community-based counselling service Ecosystemic Sangoma Postmodern Ecology Constructivism 616.89140715 Internship programs Psychologists -- Training of Tutors and training -- South Africa Psychotherapy -- Training of
