Abstract

Background: Political values are essential to our sense of self and belonging. Yet the political orientation of clinical psychologists has either been neglected in psychological research or been investigated only in the United States several decades ago. This study therefore aimed to explore political values among psychologists and how they perceive the effect of political values on therapy in Norway. Method: Five clinical psychologists currently in active practice were recruited for semi-structured interviews. Results and discussion: A thematic analysis yielded several distinct themes. Political beliefs appear to play a part in therapy, and may influence both what the therapist thinks about the client and the choice of therapy. Nonetheless, the informants reported that talking about political beliefs in a psychotherapeutic setting was unusual and even uncomfortable for them. Conclusion: We therefore ask whether it is time to break the taboos associated with political values in and around psychotherapy, and conclude that further research should be devoted to this sensitive but vital topic. Keywords: politics, values, psychotherapy, therapeutic alliance, empathy, semi-structured interviews

背景:政治价值观对我们的自我意识和归属感至关重要。然而，临床心理学家的政治倾向在心理学研究中要么被忽视，要么几十年前只在美国被调查过。因此，本研究旨在探讨挪威心理学家的政治价值观，以及他们如何看待政治价值观对治疗的影响。方法:采用半结构化访谈法，对5名在职临床心理学家进行访谈。结果和讨论:专题分析产生了几个不同的主题。政治信仰似乎在治疗中发挥了作用，并可能影响治疗师对来访者的看法和治疗的选择。尽管如此，举报人报告说，在心理治疗环境中谈论政治信仰是不寻常的，甚至对他们来说是不舒服的。结论:因此，我们要问的是，现在是否应该打破与心理治疗及其周围的政治价值观相关的禁忌，并得出结论，应该进一步研究这个敏感但至关重要的话题。关键词:政治、价值观、心理治疗、治疗联盟、共情、半结构化访谈
