As a theoretical reference, I used the ideas on Psychology and Spirituality as presented by Kenneth Pargament. This qualitative research was directed towards understanding the life experiences of the aforementioned students as manifested orally or through written accounts. A discussion group composed of six voluntary female adventist students in their last semester of a Psychology graduation class was formed. The four proposed topics for discussion were: 1) The Concept of Spirituality; 2) Dealing with Spirituality in Psychotherapy; 3) A Psychotherapist s Training and Spirituality; and 4) Spirituality itself. The discussions were recorded and the analysis was conducted in accordance with Pargament s proposals, while keeping an open mind on the contributions of other authors associated to the objective of this research. The analysis located fifty units of meaning grouped into four topics: 1) Spirituality; 2) Psychology and Spirituality; 3) Psychology, Spirituality and Psychotherapy ; and 4) Psychologist s Training and Spirituality. This lead to the conclusion that the adventist students of the Psychology graduation class show interest in the topic of Spirituality and desire to better appreciate the two fields in order to offer the client integral care, but also admit a lack of preparation to act in this matter / Nesta pesquisa busquei compreender como alunas adventistas de um curso de graduação em Psicologia relacionam a Psicologia e a Espiritualidade em um grupo temático, a fim de refletir sobre as possibilidades de aproximação entre essas áreas na formação do psicólogo. Utilizei como referencial teórico as ideias sobre Psicologia e Espiritualidade apresentadas por Kenneth Pargament. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, voltada à compreensão de vivências das alunas, manifestadas verbalmente e por meio de relatos. Foi realizado um grupo temático composto por seis alunas adventistas do último semestre de um curso de graduação em Psicologia que se apresentaram como voluntárias. Os quatro temas propostos para os encontros foram o conceito de espiritualidade; o manejo da espiritualidade na psicoterapia; a formação do psicoterapeuta e a espiritualidade; e a própria espiritualidade. Os encontros foram gravados e a análise foi realizada em diálogo com as propostas de Pargament, mantendo-se um olhar aberto às colocações de outros autores relacionadas ao objetivo da pesquisa. A análise localizou 50 unidades de significado, agrupadas em 4 temas: Espiritualidade; Psicologia e Espiritualidade; Psicologia, Espiritualidade e atendimento clínico; e Formação do Psicólogo e a Espiritualidade. Permitiu concluir que as alunas adventistas do curso de graduação em Psicologia apresentam interesse no assunto espiritualidade e mostram vontade de apreciar os dois campos para atender o cliente de forma completa, mas reconhecem a falta de preparo para atuar com esse assunto

Tidigare forskning har visat på att övergången från studier till yrkesliv är en kritisk period där övergångschock kan förekomma. Detta har visat sig gälla även psykologer tidigt i karriären. Det saknas däremot en djupare förståelse kring övergången hos PTP-psykologer i Sverige. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka psykologers berättelser om övergången från studier till första tiden inom professionen och vad som karaktäriserar dessa berättelser. De 15 deltagarna, en man och 14 kvinnor, rekryterades via PTP-samordnare/-rektorer, sociala medier och privata kontakter. Studien genomfördes med en textbaserad datainsamling där materialet, som bestod av livshändelsekalender (LHC) och guidande frågor, skickades via post. Rådata analyserades med en narrativ analysmetod, inspirerad av Labov och Waletzkys indelning av berättelsers delelement. Därefter skapades prototypberättelser som är ett verktyg för att skapa sammanfattningar som blir jämförbara med det fenomen som undersöks. Slutligen skapades fem prototypberättelser utifrån gemensamma kontextuella omständigheter samt vad övergången i övrigt präglades av. Däribland psykiska ohälsa, sociala förändringar och tidigare erfarenhet av yrket. Prototypberättelserna kallas “Arbetslivets labyrint,” “En uppförsbacke,” “Den inre resan,” “Rustad och redo” och “Det sociala skiftet.” Analysen visar på att övergångschock även gäller psykologer i Sverige samt hur den påverkas av organisatoriska omständigheter och bristande eller fungerande socialt stöd. Sammanfattningsvis tycks förklaringen till motgångar flyttas från en själv till kontexten och omständigheterna. Hos samtliga deltagare har övergångschocken avtagit och i de flesta fall gått över, vilket tyder på att psykologers övergång från studier till yrkesliv är en kritisk men avgränsad period. / Previous research has shown that transitioning from studies to working life is a critical period, where the concept of transition-shock can appear. This can also be applied to early-career psychologists. However, there is a need for deeper understanding of the transition for psychologists in training in Sweden. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate psychologists’ stories about the transition from studies to the first years in practice and what characterized these stories. The 15 participants, one man and 14 women, were recruited via PTP-coordinators/-principals, social media platforms and private contacts. The study was conducted by a text-based data collection, consisting of a life history calendar (LHC) and guiding questions, which were sent by post. The data was analyzed with a narrative method, inspired by Labov and Waletzkys’ research on the narratives’ different components. Thereafter prototype stories were made, which is a tool to make the studied phenomenon comparable. Five prototype stories were then created from shared contexts and other circumstances, such as mental health, social changes and work-experience. These are called “The work-life labyrinth,” “The uphill,” “The inner journey,” “Equipped and ready” and “The social shift.” The analysis indicate that transition-shock applies to psychologists in Sweden with the influence of organizational contexts and social support. In summary, the explanation for the setbacks are switched from the individual to the context and circumstances. For all participants, the transition-shock has decreased or passed over, which indicates that psychologists’ transition from studies to working life is a critical yet limited period.
