| Description | Existing research suggests that although many master therapists’ characteristics are interculturally valid, at least some of these characteristics are culturally bound. Interviews with nine peer-nominated Czech expert psychotherapists were subjected to thematic analysis which revealed 16 themes, organized into six more general categories: (a) Humble attitude towards mastery, clients, and colleagues, (b) Relationship, (c) Awareness of one’s needs, limits, and resources, (d) Continuous development, (e) Engagement, and (f) Awareness of the complexity of psychotherapeutic work. The results are discussed in the context of cultural differences, as well as specific historical circumstances of the development of the Czech therapeutic scene. |
