Riporto alcuni abstract di articoli che mi hanno imprssionato molto su questo argomento. Se non sbaglio la questione non è tanto l'obiettivo terapeutico quanto il ruolo della terapia personale.
Una domanda a neuromancer:
nel tuo modello, quando si fa supervisione, si è maggiormente centrati sul terapeuta o sul paziente?

Riassunto:
This study investigates the effects of clinician personal therapy on therapeutic alliance early in treatment. Therapists who had received personal therapy assessed 30 outpatients, and therapists who had not undergone personal therapy assessed 30 outpatients. These groups of patients were matched on key demographic, diagnostic and psychiatric severity data. Results demonstrated no significant group differences on patient-rated alliance. Significant differences were observed for the therapist-rated alliance variables of therapist confidence, goal and task agreement, as well as overall alliance, with higher scores from those therapists who had received personal therapy. In addition, significant differences were found in the number of therapy sessions attended, with the treatments of those therapists who had received personal therapy being twice as long. The impact of personal therapy in relation to structured training and a therapeutic model of assessment on graduate clinicians' ability to form positive collaborative relationships with their patients is discussed.

Riassunto:
Personal therapy is frequently promoted as an important experience for practising psychotherapists and is often a requirement for training to be a psychotherapist. Studies suggest that large numbers of therapists undergo personal therapy and that it is reported to be beneficial. Few studies have identified how personal therapy has an impact on professional development and practice. This qualitative study investigated how the experience of personal therapy for therapists is seen to influence subsequent therapeutic practice. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight practising therapists. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), was used as an in-depth method to analyse the interview transcripts, and identified three master themes: I learnt how to do therapy; I know myself much better; and a very dissolving process. It was concluded that participants view their personal therapy as a valuable and powerful experience with a long-term personal impact and ongoing influence on therapeutic practice. Illustrative interview quotes are included in the presentation of results. The findings are discussed and the implications for therapists and their practice are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Riassunto:
This study explored psychotherapists' perceptions of how personal therapy has influenced their clinical practice. Semistructured interviews with 20 experienced psychoanalytically oriented therapists probed areas of the perceived benefits and risks of personal therapy, as well as its influence on (1) their clinical practice and (2) how they perceived the interpersonal relationship with their former therapist. Participants whose personal therapy most influenced their clinical practice were more likely to view their treatment as promoting psychological change, to value their former therapist as a professional role model, and to think about their former treater when they were unsure about what to do in a clinical situation. This group of clinicians was more likely to believe that psychotherapy should focus on the working relationship between patient and therapist. Study findings support the hypothesis that the extent to which the former treater is seen as a positive role model is associated with the degree to which participants thought that addressing problems between themselves and their patients is central to their therapeutic activity.
