Abstract

Family therapists are not immune to personal or family problems nor exempt from needing therapy. The purpose of the present study was to survey American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) Clinical Members regarding their personal problems and experiences with personal therapy. Results show that the majority of respondents had problems related to their marriages and or families, had received some form of personal therapy since entering the profession, had sought therapy whenever they had problems, and reported a high rate of success and benefits from their therapy. These results are discussed in comparison with previous research, other professions, and the lay public.
