Abstract

Koncept samopomoći je prepoznat kao važan alat za psihoterapeute i za unaprjeđenje njihove dobrobiti, kako osobne tako i profesionalne. Cilj ovog rada bio je dobiti uvid u doživljaj i iskustvo prakticiranja koncepta samopomoći u privatnom i profesionalnom životu kod psihoterapeuta. Provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje u kojem je sudjelovalo osam psihoterapeuta koji su kroz polustrukturirani intervju ispitivani o svojiim doživljajima, iskustvima i stavovima o primjeni strategija samopomoći u privatnom i profesionalnom životu. Rezultati pokazuju da sudionici smatraju da bi provođenje strategija samopomoći trebao biti zahtjev za svakog psihoterapeuta te da ne postoji univerzalan način samopomoći koji se odnosi na psihoterapeute generalno. Također, rezultati ukazuju isključivo na prednosti prakticiranja koncepta samopomoći koje pritom štite od rizika poput profesionalnog sagorijevanja i sukoba obiteljske i profesionalne uloge. Najznačajnije strategije za psihoterapeute su one iz fizičkog, psihičkog, emocionalnog i duhovnog područja s naglaskom na osobnu terapiju i superviziju. Postizanje primjerene ravnoteže između privatnog i profesionalnog života je usko povezano s primjenom samopomoći. Ovaj rad ukazuje na važnost i raznolikost primjene strategija samopomoći kako u privatnom, tako i u profesionalnom životu psihoterapeuta, što čini znanstveni doprinos ovog rada.

Abstract (english)

The importance of self care is recognized for psychotherapists as a tool to improve their well-being, both personal and professional. The aim of this paper was to gain insight into the experience of using self care strategies in private and professional life of psychotherapist. A qualitative study was conducted with eight psychotherapists who were interviewed through a semi-structured interview about their experiences and attitudes about the application of self care strategies in their private and professional life. The results show that participants believe that the implementation of self care should be a requirement for every psychotherapist and there is no universal way to apply self care in general. Also, the results point exclusively to the benefits of practicing self care by protecting againts risks such as burnout and work-family conflict. The most important strategies for psychotherapists are those from the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual field with an emphasis on personal therapy and supervision. Achieving an appropriate balance between private and professional life is closely linked to the application of self care. This paper points out the importance and diversity of application of self care in both private and professional lives of psychotherapist, which also makes the scientific contribution of this paper.
