摘要:The aim of the study is to investigate how attitudes of potential trainees form to build the basis for further training and how experienced psychotherapists differ in their therapeutic attitudes. Two random groups are investigated by means of TASC-2 scales and associations as well as connotations (indirect attitudes). Multivariate variance analysis, group comparisons and qualitative contents analysis are carried out. The performance of the potential trainees on the TASC-2-scales implies that a general education in the therapeutic field serves to form the base for establishing a therapeutic attitude. Potential trainees tend to a coping perspective, psychotherapists tend to clarification perspective.
