Abstract
Self-Practice/Self-Reflection (SP/SR) has been proposed both as an adjunct to therapy training programmes, and also as a means for therapist development among experienced therapists. Research suggests it develops aspects of knowledge and skill that may not be addressed through other training methods. With increasing interest in SP/SR, a growing evidence base regarding both participant benefits and potential risks from SP/SR, and the development of SP/SR programmes across a range of therapeutic modalities, we argue it is timely to identify a set of principles that can guide the design, adaptation and implementation of SP/SR programmes. At this stage, there is little empirical evidence to guide trainers wishing to implement SP/SR in different contexts. Accordingly, these principles have been derived from reflection on developing, testing and implementing SP/SR programmes as well as on other training and supervisory experience. The first set of principles detailed in Section (1) draw on various theories of learning and development and frame the processes involved, the next principles speak to the content of SP/SR programmes, and the final principles address structure. Within Section (2) , the principles are then considered for their practical implications. In Section (3) , the sharing of what are initially private self-reflections is then considered together with some implications for SP/SR programmes, especially when there is assessment involved. We argue that SP/SR will continue to progress with well-designed standard programmes, careful implementation, thoughtful adaptation, ongoing innovation, and especially more evaluation. Key learning aims ( (1) ) To understand the principles for designing, adapting and implementing SP/SR programmes that are drawn from theory and from the authors (2) 0 (1) 9; experience of developing and implementing SP/SR programmes over the last (2) 0 years. ( (2) ) To understand the possible factors that guide the processes, content and structure of SP/SR programmes. ( (3) ) To understand how best to maximize effective engagement and learning (and limit harm) when planning or implementing an SP/SR programme.
