31	The development of a therapist through participation in a reflecting team Hanford, Ann Dowie 30 November 2004 (has links) This thesis is a study of the development of a group of students during the time they spentworking as a reflecting team in family therapy. Due to an increase in the number of students enrolled for the Masters degree in Educational Psychology in the years from 2001, there was concern about the students experience of family therapy, since they would not all be likely to counsel a family. The study, which was undertaken over a period of two years, allows a comparison of two different experiences of being part of a reflecting team. The first year the whole group formed a single team, whereas, the group in the second year split into two teams, working on a fortnightly basis. The growth of the students as therapists was assessed by means of questionnaires and an interview with the trainer in terms of self-reflection, willingness to risk. / Social work / MA(SS)(Mental Health) Family therapy Self-reflection Second order cybernetics Reflecting teams Risk-taking/not knowing position Reflective practice 361.060968 Family therapists -- South Africa Internship programs -- South Africa Family psychotherapy -- South Africa Social systems Group psychotherapy -- South Africa Multiple psychotherapy -- South Africa Solution-focused therapy -- South Africa
