ABSTRACT Reflective practice is an essential competency in clinical psychology training and practice. However, evidence is limited to support the role of reflection in clinical practice. This study investigated the lived experiences of clinical psychologists’ use of reflective practice in the context of their clinical work. Seven clinical psychologists completed reflective diaries and semi-structured interviews to facilitate in-depth reflections on clinical events. Interview transcripts were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three superordinate themes and six subthemes were developed from the data: Exploratory Questioning (gaining a different perspective, new insight, and opening new possibilities), Containment of own Thoughts and Feelings in Practice, and Human Survival (managing the emotional impact, self-sustaining and leaving work at work). Consideration of these findings suggested that reflective practice plays a key role in clinical psychologists’ perspective-taking abilities; allowing them to maintain an open and curious clinical perspective. Reflective practice enables containment, which impacts the building and maintaining of therapeutic relationships. Reflective practice relieves discomfort and promotes personal resilience. Further research on clinician use of reflective practice can contribute to understanding this core competency which is highly relevant to the training and ongoing development of clinical psychologists.

“您正在接受新的和不同的想法”：临床心理学家对在临床工作中使用反思性实践的理解和经验：一种解释性的现象学分析

摘要反思性实践是临床心理学培训和实践中必不可少的能力。但是，证据仅限于支持反思在临床实践中的作用。这项研究调查了临床心理学家在临床工作中使用反思性实践的真实经验。七名临床心理学家完成了反思日记和半结构式访谈，以促进对临床事件的深入思考。访谈笔录使用解释性现象学分析进行分析。从数据中得出了三个上级主题和六个子主题：探索性提问（获得不同的视角，新的见识和开辟新的可能性），在实践中遏制自己的思想和感觉以及人类生存（管理情感影响，自我维持并让工作继续进行）。对这些发现的考虑表明，反思性练习在临床心理学家的观点采摘能力中起着关键作用。让他们保持开放而好奇的临床观点。反思性实践可以遏制，这会影响治疗关系的建立和维持。反思性练习可以减轻不适感，并增强个人韧性。对临床医生使用反思性实践的进一步研究可以有助于理解这种核心能力，这与临床心理学家的培训和持续发展高度相关。让他们保持开放而好奇的临床观点。反思性实践可以遏制，这会影响治疗关系的建立和维持。反思性练习可以减轻不适感，并增强个人韧性。对临床医生使用反思性实践的进一步研究可以有助于理解这种核心能力，这与临床心理学家的培训和持续发展高度相关。让他们保持开放而好奇的临床观点。反思性实践可以遏制，这会影响治疗关系的建立和维持。反思性练习可以减轻不适感，并增强个人韧性。对临床医生使用反思性实践的进一步研究可以有助于理解这种核心能力，这与临床心理学家的培训和持续发展高度相关。
