Abstract

common factors psychotherapy training Self-of-the-therapist
The Person-of-the-Therapist Training (POTT) model, developed by Harry J. Aponte, teaches trainees to intentionally and productively use all aspects of themselves for clinical effectiveness. The current study explored the perceived impact of POTT on the clinical work of 20 postgraduates of Drexel University's Master of Family Therapy Program. Findings suggest that POTT is effective, generating a purposeful therapeutic presence that comprises the therapist's way of being and the therapist's way of doing. Also, participants express being transformed by POTT and employing learned skills beyond graduation. Implications for training and future research are discussed.
