ABSTRACT

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has posed many unprecedented challenges to psychotherapists, as many clinics swiftly moved to providing services remotely or needed to close temporarily. While some practica were able to offer trainees the option to provide telehealth, some made the difficult decision to terminate psychotherapy training programs for the remainder of the academic year, or longer. This decision has had numerous implications for and impacts on students, such as concern over development of clinical and counseling skills, intervention and assessment hours, and uncertain effects on clients. These concerns are discussed from the perspective of a trainee, and several therapy-relevant resources and ways of managing are also highlighted.

摘要

冠状病毒 (COVID-19) 大流行给心理治疗师带来了许多前所未有的挑战，因为许多诊所迅速转向远程提供服务或需要暂时关闭。虽然一些实践能够为受训者提供提供远程医疗的选项，但一些实践做出了艰难的决定，即在学年剩余时间或更长时间内终止心理治疗培训计划。这一决定对学生产生了许多影响，例如对临床和咨询技能的发展、干预和评估时间的担忧，以及对客户的不确定影响。从受训者的角度讨论了这些问题，还强调了一些与治疗相关的资源和管理方法。
