“…Halgin and Murphy (1995) noted that people who are interested in becoming therapists have more than the average number of personal problems and dysfunctional backgrounds. There is evidence that such backgrounds may even influence psychotherapists' choice of theoretical orientation (Rosin & Knudson, 1986). Additional research on how therapist characteristics interact with treatment can inform selection and training decisions.…”

This article discusses the role of empirically supported treatments (ESTs) in the training of clinical psychologists. Training in ESTs can be integrated in ways that vary depending on the level of training and setting. Predoctoral programs, internships, postdoctoral programs, and continuing education are discussed in regard to special challenges and sequencing of training. A preliminary set of guidelines for training in ESTS is suggested. A positive impetus for training in EST skills is the current Guidelines and Principles for Accreditation of Programs in Professional Psychology (APA, 1996) and its mandate regarding sufficient attention to the empirical basis of psychological methods:The relative emphasis a particular program places on science and practice should be consistent with its training objectives. However, all programs should enable their students to understand the value of science for the practice of psychology and the value of practice for the science of psychology, recognizing that the value of science for the practice of psychology requires attention to the empirical Karen S.

“…Bronfenbrenner's (1979) human ecological theory suggests that individuals develop as a result of influences from and between various environmental systems. Human ecological theory focuses on contextual factors or sociological/cultural drives and development and, further, assumes that the environment has a strong influence at multiple levels on the choices that we make, the lives we live, and as a result, the therapeutic interventions we implement (Rosin & Knudson, 1986;Whipple, 1996;Booth & Cottone, 2000;Arthur, 2001).…”

This qualitative study explored ecosystemic influences on therapists' responses to partner abuse. Research questions focus on aspects of personal and professional development of attitudes and belief systems surrounding partner abuse. In-depth interviews with seven therapy trainees indicate that family of origin experiences, clinical experiences, and therapist developmental processes affect values, beliefs, and clinical reactivity to cases involving partner abuse. Implications for therapists' self-work, clinical training, and the process of supervision are addressed.
