Žrtve loše psihoterapeutske prakse

Abstract

Oblast profesionalne etike u psihoterapiji nije do sada bila tema domaćih istraživanja u oblasti mentalnog zdravlja. U ovom istraživanju autori su želeli da ispitaju u kojoj meri je prisutna loša psihoterapeutska praksa, koja od korisnika usluga psihoterapije može napraviti žrtve psihoterapije. U prigodnom uzorku učestvovalo je 45 psihoterapeuta, koji imaju licencu nacionalnog udruženja, kao i 109 korisnika psihoterapeutskih usluga. Od instrumenata korišćeni su: upitnik autora iz SAD (Pope, Tabachnik, Keith-Spiegel), kao i kratki upitnik napravljen za potrebe ovog istraživanja. Rezultati su pokazali da je loša psihoterapeutska praksa prisutna u našoj državi, iako velika većina terapeuta postupa etički. Autori smatraju da bi bilo dobro uvesti bolji monitoring rada psihoterapeuta zbog manjine koja ne poštuje etičke standarde.

The area of professional ethics in psychotherapy has not yet been the subject of a national research in the field of mental health. In this study the authors wanted to examine the extent in which bad psychotheraputic practice, which can transform a client into a victim of psychotherapy, is present. In a convenience sample there were 45 psychologists psychotherapists with licenses from the national association and 109 users of psychotherapeutic services. As instruments, we used a questionnaire made in the United States (Pope, Tabachnik, Keith-Spiegel), and a short questionnaire designed for the purpose of this research. The results showed that bad psychotherapeutic practice is present in our country, although the vast majority of therapists is acting ethically. The authors argue that it would be good to introduce better monitoring of psychotherapists, because of the minority that does not comply with ethical standards
