The psychotherapy researcher practice relationship: Through a clinical supervision lens.
Abstract
Se ha lamentado hace tiempo el desfase entre la investigación y la práctica clínica, pero aún se sabe menos sobre esta brecha respecto al entrenamiento clínico. Evaluamos a investigadores en psicoterapia que además realizaban supervisión clínica, sobre su manera de integrar la investigación en psicoterapia y la supervisión clínica. Encontramos que los supervisores investigadores-clínicos valoran la investigación sobre psicoterapia y la encuentran útil para su tarea de entrenamiento clínico. Sin embargo, a semejanza de otras investigaciones, los encuestados indicaron que consideraban más útiles para orientar su supervisión otras fuentes de información, incluyendo su propio trabajo clínico. Además, los supervisores clínicos-investigadores en psicoterapia valoraron en mayor medida las investigaciones sobre procesos psicoterapéuticos y factores comunes que las relativas a tratamientos empíricamente validados y basados en la evidencia. Aunque la brecha entre investigación y práctica en supervisión parece menor que en la práctica clínica, aún sigue evidenciándose. Las razones e implicaciones de estos hallazgos se comentan.
The research and practice gap has long been lamented, but less is known about this divide with regard to clinical training. We surveyed psychotherapy researchers who also engage in clinical supervision, assuming they would be most likely to model research practice integration in a training context, about how they integrate psychotherapy research and clinical supervision. We found that psychotherapy researcher clinical supervisors valued psychotherapy research and found it useful for training purposes. Similar to other research, however, respondents indicated that they considered other sources of information, including their own clinical work, more helpful for directing their clinical supervision. Psychotherapy researcher clinical supervisors also valued psychotherapy process and common factors research more than they did evidence-based and empirically supported treatments. Although the research practice gap in clinical supervision appears smaller than in a practice context, there was still evidence of a gap. Reasons and implications for these findings are considered.
