Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the tasks, challenges, and perspectives of group-therapy leadership among Mexican American women who are psychotherapists-in-training. The literature regarding counselor and psychotherapist development suggests that culture and gender interact and shape group leadership, along with the group leader's effectiveness, behavior, and style. This study sought to answer the following research questions: (1) What are the experiences of group leadership of Mexican American women who are psychotherapists-in-training (PITs)? (2) What tasks and challenges do Mexican American women PITs encounter as group psychotherapy leaders? Results suggest that Mexican American women group PITs encounter obstacles to group leadership associated with their cultural and professional identities. However, consistent with Anzaldúa's borderlands theory, the Mexican American women group PITs in this study straddle two cultures and competing demands while also turning obstacles into sources of empowerment and strength. Implications for training and supervision of Mexican American women group PITs are discussed.

“我就像一只变色龙”:墨西哥裔美国女性在训练中的团体心理治疗师的经历探索
摘要本研究的目的是探讨在接受培训的墨西哥裔美国女性心理治疗师中,团队治疗领导力的任务、挑战和前景。关于咨询师和心理治疗师发展的文献表明,文化和性别相互影响并塑造了团队领导,以及团队领导的有效性、行为和风格。本研究试图回答以下研究问题:(1)墨西哥裔美国女性在培训中担任心理治疗师(PITs)的团队领导经历是什么?(2) 墨西哥裔美国女性PIT作为团体心理治疗领导者面临哪些任务和挑战?研究结果表明,墨西哥裔美国女性群体PIT在群体领导方面遇到了与其文化和职业身份相关的障碍。然而,与Anzaldúa的边境地带理论一致,本研究中的墨西哥裔美国妇女团体PIT跨越了两种文化和相互竞争的需求,同时也将障碍转化为赋权和力量的来源。讨论了对墨西哥裔美国妇女团体PIT的培训和监督的影响。
