Psykoterapeuten har också en kropp: en kvalitativ studie om kroppen och självomhändertagande i psykoterapi
(2021) PPTP06 20211Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- The aim of the study was to achieve a deeper understanding of how psychotherapists consciously work with body signals to better understand the patient and themselves. In relation to overall aim, the study also includes several questions for example: What have psychotherapists learnt during their education about body awareness? Does the integration of the body contribute to any values such as reflecting on the need for self-care? Qualitative
analysis method was used, and data was collected with semi-structured interviews which were conducted with ten registered psychotherapists who are primarily working with adults. The material was analyzed by use of thematic analysis where five themes were identified. Our study clearly shows that there...

Knowledge about psychotherapeutic tools for the conscious and practical use of for example transmission and
countertransference is lacking. Since our study also confirms the overall picture of the professions’ worrying health state, another conclusion is that there is clearly a need of improved self-care among the therapists to prevent compassion fatigue. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med studien har varit att få en fördjupad förståelse kring hur medvetet psykoterapeuter använder kroppens signaler för att förstå den andre och sig själv. Utöver syftet inkluderar studien ytterligare frågeställningar till exempel: Vad har psykoterapeuterna lärt sig om kroppsmedvetenhet under utbildningen? Upplever de några värden med att integrera kroppen, till exempel insikter kring behovet av självomhändertagande? Med kvalitativ analysmetod genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer med tio legitimerade psykoterapeuter vilka till övervägande del jobbar med vuxna.

- Syftet med studien har varit att få en fördjupad förståelse kring hur medvetet psykoterapeuter använder kroppens signaler för att förstå den andre och sig själv. Utöver syftet inkluderar studien ytterligare frågeställningar till exempel: Vad har psykoterapeuterna lärt sig om kroppsmedvetenhet under utbildningen? Upplever de några värden med att integrera kroppen, till exempel insikter kring behovet av självomhändertagande? Med kvalitativ analysmetod genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer med tio legitimerade psykoterapeuter vilka till övervägande del jobbar med vuxna. Materialet analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analys vilket resulterade i att fem teman kunde identifieras. Studien påvisar tydligt att det existerar ett glapp mellan praktik och teori. Kunskap om psykoterapeutiska redskap utifrån kroppen för att praktiskt kunna tillämpa exempelvis överföring och motöverföring, saknas. Då studien bekräftar den generella bilden av ett oroande hälsotillstånd hos yrkeskåren, blir ytterligare en slutsats att det finns ett klart behov av bättre självomhändertagande bland terapeuterna för att förebygga empatitrötthet.
