Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 諮商與臨床心理學系 === 101 === This study is aimed at exploring the experiential process in the clinical encounter of clinical psychologists in Taiwan with their psychotic patients. In order to, disclose where they situate themselves within the medical institution system. It should be noted that the main objectives of this study is not the patients but the lived experiences of clinical psychologist among others in medical institutions. The phenomenological research method used in this study is the hermeneutical phenomenology analysis developed by Wei-Lun Lee (2004a) on the situatedness of a person. Four clinical psychologists currently working in medical institutions were interviewed for this study. The results showed the situatedness of a clinical practitioner in their professional practicing presents an experiential disparity between theoretical-based knowledge practice, clinical-encounter practice, and practice based on the medical institution model, thus revealing an intermingled condition of "knowledge events", "clinical events" and "institutional operating events" for the situatedness. Based on the findings that all three events appeared to exist equally with good reasons, the author proposed “creative professional practice” as a way of integrating the three events to allow the clinical psychologist to achieve responsible caretaking in the process of practice.
