Developing as a Therapist
Throughout your career as a therapist, you will continue to learn, gain in experience, and develop your own set of priorities and values within the work you do.
A sense of progress and growth is essential in order to keep your interest and enthusiasm for your work alive.
Professional Growth
Studies into the reasons why therapists choose their work and stay in the profession have shown that there is a widespread desire amongst the therapist community to continue learning.
Professional growth is one of the main areas that therapists attribute to preventing burn out and keeping their focus.
There are always new ideas and developments emerging in our field, and as part of what we do, we are always encouraging people to learn more in order to grow and develop as a person. So inevitably that is something we also should be doing ourselves.
Setting Goals
Most jobs or study courses have a set of goals as part of an on-going assessment scheme. However, for personal and professional development, many therapists choose to set goals in addition to the ones required by their supervisor or job.

Si tu crees que esta entrada no es para ti, tengo unas cuantas preguntas antes de que abandones esta página: ¿Alguna vez evitaste alguna sesión porque tu cliente no habla español? ¿En caso necesario, sabes como escoger un intérprete y trabajar con él o ella? ¿Estás al tanto de los aspectos legales de usar un intérprete en terapia? Con el crecimiento rápido de inmigrantes a este país, ésta pronto puede ser una situación inevitable en tu carrera.

So You’re Earning Your Doctorate in Psychology…What’s Next?
Greetings! My name is Eric Landrum, and I’ve been a professor in the Department of Psychology at Boise State University for 20 years. Not that long ago, I was serving on a search committee and sitting in yet another session of telephone interviews where my department was hiring a new assistant professor.
Starting Out as a Therapist
Beginning any new venture carries with it a mixture of emotions. With the excitement of new possibilities and challenges, alongside the anxiety of moving into the unknown and taking on new experiences, many people find the combination of taking on new information and balancing these emotions exhausting.

El machismo y el marianismo son temas de actualidad en mi práctica diaria como psicoterapeuta de la comunidad Latina. Los roles de género son sensibles por naturaleza, y a pesar de que los Estados Unidos tiene una historia rica en explorar el significado de sexo, identidad de género, y orientación sexual, la exploración de estos temas en culturas Latinas están todavía de alguna manera menos representados. Afortunadamente, hay algunos psicoterapeutas que investigan la intersección de sexo, género, identidad y orientación sexual en relación a la cultura, esos investigadores admiten que algunos temas son incluso mas complejos en la cultura Latina. Yo no soy uno de ellos y esta entrada es un humilde comentario, lo que si puedo decir es lo siguiente: En los 20 años que he trabajado como facilitador de academias de padres, el tema de roles de género es doloroso cada vez que lo abordamos. Por favor, perdona si alguna de estas ideas te parecen anticuadas. No estoy de acuerdo con todas las…
Machismo and Marianismo: New Models for Old Patterns

Machismo and marianismo are current topics in my everyday practice as a clinician in the Latino community. The issue of gender roles is inherently sensitive, and although the United States has a rich history of exploring the significance of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, the exploration of these topics in Latino cultures is still somewhat underrepresented.
