Abstract
This study aimed to investigate undergraduate students perceptions of personal psychotherapy, as well as its influence in Psychology training. The investigation was divided into two stages: 1) quantitative survey about the experience and importance of personal psychotherapy among psychology internship students (n = 59); 2) testimonials concerning personal psychotherapy and its relation to the psychologist training, obtained from four students who were undergoing personal psychotherapy. Quantatiive data were analysed with descriptive statistics procedures and qualitative data with content analysis. It was verified that a vast majority of interns (84.7%) has done or were doing personal psychotherapy, and 98.3% of respondents consider psychotherapy extremely or very important to the psychologist training. Results indicate that seeking personal psychotherapy is connected to internship practices, and that personal psychotherapy complements academic trainings by promoting self-awareness and personal development, increasing the capacity of listening to and understanding intersubjective processes, as well as favors theory and practice integration.
