To Örebro University

The aim of this study is to, by individual interviews focusing on specific dimensions of supervision,

examine how integratively educated PTP-psychologists experience the interaction

in the supervision they receive as a part of their PTP-work and to describe if and how they

experience that these components of the supervision promote, does not exert a direct influence

on or restrain the preservation and development of an integrative psychotherapeutic

approach and -attitude. The eleven people who are interviewed for this study all belong to

the group of psychologists who graduated from the first group of psychologists with an integrative

psychotherapeutic approach at Örebro university in the year of 2007 and who are

now completing their PTP-work. The interviews were analysed according to a qualitative

content analysis. The results show that ten out of eleven PTP-psychologists experience that

the interaction in the supervision is either good or excellent and that this promotes or does

not exert a direct influence on the integrative approach.
