Abstract(s)
Neste artigo, as autoras debatem os custos e benefícios
do exercício da psicoterapia no próprio psicoterapeuta.
Começam por assumir os benefícios da psicoterapia
para o cliente, fundamentando o impacto positivo que
falar sobre as experiências emocionalmente difíceis ou
potencialmente traumáticas pode ter no seu crescimento
e mudança. Por outro lado, não esquecendo o carácter
relacional da psicoterapia, as autoras debatem o impacto
negativo que o acto clínico de escutar relatos terríveis
e/ou presenciar a expressão do sofrimento, pode ter no
próprio terapeuta. Assumindo o carácter de risco que
representa a profissão de psicoterapeuta, mas notando
a resiliência de muitos terapeutas, as autoras discutem
o outro lado da questão, sublinhando a oportunidade de
crescimento e desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional
que esta actividade também pode oferecer. Por fim, sugerem
um conjunto de cuidados aos terapeutas, a ter em consideração
consigo próprios, para prevenir os riscos e potenciar
os benefícios do exercício da psicoterapia.
In this paper, the authors discuss therapist’s costs and benefits from to practice psychotherapy. Assuming the benefits of psychotherapy for clients, they justify the positive impact of talk about emotional hard full or potentially traumatic experiences on their growth and change. Nevertheless, not forgetting the relational character of psychotherapy, the authors discuss the negative impact that the clinical act of listen hard narrations and/or to witness the client’s suffering, can have on the therapist him self. Assuming psychotherapy as a risk job, but looking at resilient psychotherapists, the authors discuss the others side of question, and underline psychotherapy as an opportunity for personal growth and professional development. Finally they suggest some kinds of self-care indications for therapists, in order to prevent risks and to increased benefits from psychotherapy practice.
