摘要

Background

Therapists report that working in a framework of therapist rotation decreases their fear of providing trauma-focused treatment, lessens avoidance behaviour and reduces therapists` drift from treatment protocol. In the present study we ask: How do therapists experience providing intensive, trauma-focused treatment within a framework of therapist rotation at Prompt Mental Health Care?

Methods

Two focus group interviews were conducted with the team of therapists. Seven therapist meetings were observed, and field notes were made. Data was analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis.

Results

The analysis yielded three themes: (1) It can be uncomfortable, but we stick to it, (2) Knowing that your team supports you, and (3) We need to treat people with trauma closer to home.

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that teamwork can reduce barriers associated with providing trauma-focused treatment (TFT). It also shows that working in a functional team, within a framework of therapist rotation, has the potential to minimize therapist drift. The shared responsibility and support within the team makes it more feasible for therapists to provide TFTs. Consequently, a collaborative approach can enhance access to evidence-based treatments.
