Abstract
Introduction: This study quantitatively evaluates a novel application of Self-Practice/Self-Reflection (SP/SR) to CBT therapists from minoritised ethnic backgrounds. / Aims: The primary aims of the study were to explore the impact of the SP/SR programme on therapists’ skills in working with ethnicity in their clinical practice, their ethnic identity development, as well as on their perceived levels of personal and professional wellbeing. A secondary aim was to consider if any impacts were maintained following the completion of the programme. / Methods: This study adopted a multiple baseline single case experimental design to explore the overall and individual impacts of the programme, across baseline, SP/SR and follow-up phases. Participants were CBT therapists from minoritised ethnic backgrounds, and the outcomes of six participants who completed the programme are presented. Measures were developed and adapted for the purpose of this evaluation and weekly outcomes were collected. Outcomes were analysed using visual and statistical analysis. / Results: The results from this study suggested that overall, participants appeared to show increases in level and positive trends from the baseline to the SP/SR phase, however, these were only significant in the cases of some participants across outcomes. Significant improvements across three baseline conditions were only made in the skills to identify and address similarities and differences in ethnicity outcome, demonstrating a functional relationship. Outcomes from the follow-up phase presented a more mixed mixture. / Conclusions: The study gives some support for the impact of the SP/SR programme in developing therapist skills in working with ethnicity, as well as highlighting differential outcomes for participants related to levels of experience and engagement. The findings from this study have possible implications for the personal and professional development of ethnically minoritised therapists, as well as future quantitative SP/SR literature.
