Compassion - från riskfaktor till friskfaktor? En tematisk analys av hur terapeuter som arbetar med compassionfokuserad terapi upplever sin metod
(2021) PPTN76 20211Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med denna studie var att få en fördjupad förståelse av hur terapeuter som arbetar med compassionfokuserad terapi (CFT) upplever sin arbetsmetod jämfört med sedvanlig KBT samt hur arbetet med CFT påverkar deras upplevelse av stress, både yrkesmässigt och privat. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta terapeuter som arbetar med CFT på olika sätt. Tematisk analys användes som metod för att analysera datan, vilket resulterade i sju teman: Fylla luckor – den saknade pusselbiten; Teoretisk bredd – styrka eller svaghet?; Common Humanity – vi sitter i samma båt; Självomhändertagande – vad behöver jag nu?; Sätta gränser – good enough; Ändrat förhållningssätt gentemot andra – att njuta av att vara snäll; Integration – att leva som...

Resultaten visade att terapeuterna upplever att det finns ett flertal fördelar med att arbeta med CFT jämfört med sedvanlig KBT. Resultaten visade även att terapeuterna integrerat metoden i sina liv, vilket i sin tur upplevs vara en skyddsfaktor i förhållande till stress. Resultatet är i linje med de studier som har kunnat påvisa sambandet mellan självmedkänsla och resiliens mot stressrelaterade symptom. (Less)
- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to reach a greater understanding of how psychotherapists, working with Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), experience their psychotherapeutic method compared to usual CBT and how working with CFT affects their experiences of stress, professionally as well as in private life. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight therapists working with CFT in different ways. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and seven themes were identified: Filling in gaps – the missing piece; Theoretical width – strength or weakness?; Common Humanity – we are all in the same boat; Self-care – what do I need now?; Setting limits – good enough; Change of attitude towards others – enjoying being kind; Integration –...

The results indicated that therapists experience several benefits working with CFT compared to usual CBT. Another finding was that therapists have integrated their therapeutic method in their everyday lives, which in turn was seen as a preventive factor against stress. The results are consistent with studies that have been able to demonstrate the correlation between self-compassion and resilience against stress related symptoms. (Less)
