Profiles of psychological health and well-being among psychotherapists: A cross-cultural survey employing the person-centered approach
This project is a collaberation between the Institute of Clinical Medicine at the University of Oslo, and the Doctoral School of Social Sciences at the University of Warsaw, Poland.
The primary goal of the research project for this doctoral thesis is to examine the heterogeneity of the samples of psychotherapists from several countries with regard to their psychological health (burnout and secondary traumatic stress symptoms) and subjective well-being (life satisfaction and the positive and negative affect) through the use of latent profile analysis (see method).
In particular, the project wants to identify correlates of different profiles of psychotherapists in relation to the aforementioned outcome variables from both personal (self-efficacy, SE) and social (received and provided social support) factors, while controlling for vast categories of sociodemographic and work-related covariates (see Figure 1).
This project refer to the multidimensional model of burnout by Maslach (2001).
