Abstract

Previous research, conducted primarily in psychology, indicates that many practitioners in the core mental health professions enter psychotherapy at some point in their careers. This may occur during the period of professional training. Several studies suggest that personal psychotherapy has a mixed but mainly beneficial effect on practice. The research reported here explores the significance of personal treatment to the emerging professional roles of advanced graduate students in clinical social work. The paper focuses on the educative value of treatment which includes the therapist as model, integration of theory with skills, enhancement of empathy, understanding the helping process and personal treatment as a complement to supervision.
