Beschreibung
There has been little systematic research and personal accounts of therapists' and supervisors personal and professional development once they qualified in the profession. Addressing this gap through using systems theory and excerpts from sessions, photography and autobiographical elements, the book documents the therapists and families six-year journey of reciprocal growth. The story starts with the initial handicapped responses: the therapists failure and the families life-threatening non-compliance. Eventually, the therapist and families develop handi-capable responses: families mastering their lives and the illness, and the therapist's increasing competency, finally giving birth to the supervisor. The book examines the consequences of this developmental process for training, supervision, and continuing education. The author concludes that her story is a personal contribution of how therapists and supervisors competence develops through life-long complex, multifactor integration of professional and personal life experiences and transformations.
