Abstract

Abstract The impact of racism to the individual is arguably immeasurable; however, the impact on psychotherapists who themselves have personally had either one or multiple experiences of racism and work with clients in therapy who have also experienced racism is an area with very little research. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with black cognitive behavioural therapists who have personally experienced racism and have also worked with clients who have experienced racism; data were analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. As this was a pilot study, only two participants were recruited to the study. Superordinate and subordinate themes were identified from the data and explored. The study highlighted that the impact of racism, racist experiences and microaggressions can lead to mental health problems, and there is need for further support for therapists, especially within the contexts of clinical supervision and from their organisation leadership. In addition, the need for further research was also identified, as well as improved training in working with disclosures of racism, and racial trauma within a therapeutic context was considered as important to the therapists of this pilot study. Key learning aims (1) To explore and understand the personal experiences of black therapists who have personally experienced racism. (2) To identify some of the challenges that exist for black therapists who work with clients who have experienced racism and to explore possible solutions to overcome such challenges.
定性探讨黑人心理治疗师的个人种族主义经历,以及黑人治疗师在治疗中遇到的挑战,他们的客户也经历过种族主义。解释性现象学分析的初步研究
种族主义对个人的影响可以说是不可估量的;然而,对于那些个人经历过一次或多次种族主义的心理治疗师,以及与同样经历过种族主义的客户一起治疗的心理治疗师来说,影响是一个很少研究的领域。对黑人认知行为治疗师进行了半结构化访谈,他们亲身经历过种族主义,也曾与经历过种族主义的客户合作;数据分析采用解释现象学分析。由于这是一项初步研究,因此只招募了两名参与者。从数据中识别和探索上级和下级主题。该研究强调,种族主义、种族主义经历和微侵犯的影响可能导致心理健康问题,需要进一步支持治疗师,特别是在临床监督和组织领导的背景下。此外,还确定了进一步研究的必要性,以及在治疗背景下改进种族主义揭露和种族创伤方面的培训被认为对这项试点研究的治疗师很重要。主要学习目标(1)探索和理解亲身经历过种族主义的黑人治疗师的个人经历。(2)确定黑人治疗师在治疗经历过种族主义的客户时面临的一些挑战,并探索克服这些挑战的可能解决方案。
