Preparing practitioners to respond to resistance: a cross-professional view
Authors: Grossman Pam, Compton Christa, Shahan Emily, Ronfeldt Matthew, Igra Danielle, Shaing Julia
The article explores the preparation of teaching professionals to respond to resistance. The study examined three clinical psychology programs and two teacher education programs. Data was drawn from classroom observations, interviews and observations of field experiences. Results reveal that although both programs prepare students to respond to resistance, the clinical psychology programs provided students with more opportunities to rehearse responses to client resistance in the moment, through the use of role-play and other simulations.
