The aim of the present study was to investigate psychodynamic psychotherapists’ experience of the influence of personal therapy on professional growth during training with a focus on the acquisition of knowledge and the development of psychotherapeutic skills. Thematic analysis was conducted on interviews with former students (N=10) at two training institutes for psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The resulting theme “professional subjectivity” indicated that personal therapy was experienced as having a positive effect on learning and growth of professional skill by facilitating the development of a theory- and knowledge-based professional subjectivity, a personally founded, professional attitude. Important elements of this development are “shared experience,” “personal influence,” and “knowledge integration.” The emergence of professional subjectivity proved to be an important factor in terms of professional advancement for future psychotherapists. Finding and relating to their own subjectivity was crucial in the process of developing a personally founded, professional attitude in the clinical work.

个人疗法对心理治疗技能学习和发展的影响

本研究的目的是调查心理动力心理治疗师在培训过程中个人疗法对专业成长的影响的经验，重点是知识的获取和心理治疗技能的发展。主题分析是在两家精神分析心理治疗培训机构对以前的学生（N = 10）进行的访谈中进行的。最终产生的主题“专业主观性”表明，通过促进基于理论和知识的专业主观性（一种个人建立的专业态度）的发展，个人疗法对学习和专业技能的增长具有积极作用。这一发展的重要要素是“共享经验”，“个人影响力”和“知识整合”。专业主观性的出现被证明是未来心理治疗师专业发展的重要因素。在临床工作中建立个人建立的专业态度的过程中，发现并联系他们自己的主观性至关重要。
