“…In fact, those in advocacy groups report significantly more anger over their experiences with mental illness than those not in such groups (Coursey, Farrell, & Zahniser, 1991). Yet even in outpatient therapy, a study by McCarthy and Frieze (1999) found that the use of personal coercive power on the part of therapists was inversely associated with clients' perceptions of the quality of treatment.…”

We summarize the four papers in this issue by consumers evaluating their mental health treatment, focusing on aspects of their treatment that they collectively found helpful and hindering. These factors include the context of treatment, the therapy relationship, interventions used and issues addressed, helpful experiences outside the mental health system, and hindering views of mental illness and treatment. We then present comments by two clients in outpatient therapy on the same topic. Research on clients' perceptions of their outpatient psychotherapy is discussed in reference to these six consumer perspectives, and future directions for therapists and researchers are suggested. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…During the past decade, a considerable amount of research concerning psychotherapists experiencing job burnout has been conducted (McCarthy and Frieze 1999;McKenzie Deighton et al 2007;Ogresta et al 2008;Rupert et al 2009). These studies have demonstrated that practitioners who are specifically trained to treat individuals suffering from psychological disorders can themselves be overcome with emotional distress.…”

Characteristics of Job Burnout and Humor among Psychotherapists

Humor

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Job burnout is one factor that has led many individuals to be ineffective in their profession. Psychotherapists have been shown to be especially vulnerable to the effects of job burnout in their field of specialization. Because of this fact, coping strategies are needed to protect the psychological well-being of the therapist and the therapeutic process. Humor is one coping technique that has been used in dealing with job burnout in various professions, but humor has also been shown to be detrimental to psychological well-being. In this study, a total of 133 doctoral degreed psychotherapists responded to a survey to determine the relationship between different types of humor (affiliative humor, self-enhancing humor, aggressive humor, and self-defeating humor) and various characteristics of job burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of a sense of personal accomplishment). Regression results indicated that self-defeating humor contributed to the job burnout characteristics of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, whereas self-enhancing humor contributed to a therapist's sense of personal accomplishment. The results seem to indicate that different types of humor may either buffer or contribute to job burnout depending on how humor is used.

“…Moreover, the personal impact of burnout has a detrimental effect on the quality of service delivered resulting in less effective intervention and lower client satisfaction (McCarthy & Frieze, 1999;Sherman & Thelen, 1998).…”

‘Feel the Feeling’: Psychological practitioners’ experience of acceptance and commitment therapy well-being training in the workplace

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This empirical study investigates psychological practitioners’ experience of worksite training in acceptance and commitment therapy using an interpretative phenomenological analysis methodology. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants, and three themes emerged from the interpretative phenomenological analysis data analysis: influence of previous experiences, self and others and impact and application. The significance of the experiential nature of the acceptance and commitment therapy training is explored as well as the dual aspects of developing participants’ self-care while also considering their own clinical practice. Consistencies and inconsistencies across acceptance and commitment therapy processes are considered as well as clinical implications, study limitations and future research suggestions.
