The person behind the therapist: a recall study on significant events that contribute to therapists' personal and professional development.

This study explores the interconnexion between personal and professional development in therapist growth. This research examines a self-integrated perspective on training, by looking at the equal importance of nurturing personal development alongside professional skills cultivation. The study uses the concept of Significant Events (SE) which was originally developed to understand client change processes and applies the concept to investigate the development of the person-of-the-therapist.
