Therapy Incarcerated: An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) exploring psychotherapist experience of working within a prison setting.
Participants required:
I would like to talk to BACP registered counsellors and psychotherapists with at least 6 months experience of working within a male prison setting.
The study:
Completing my placement within a men's prison, I am aware that there are a great deal of issues, challenges and considerations that are not normally considered within the delivery of therapy outside of a secure setting.
The aim of this study therefore is to explore, analyse and understand psychotherapist lived experience of delivering therapy within a male prison environment.
The information collected will be used to produce a dissertation in fulfilment of an Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy MA at Leeds Beckett University.
What will be involved if I take part?
I will conduct a one to one semi structured interview via Zoom (camera can be turned off) or telephone at a date and time convenient to yourself. Prior to the interview taking place, you will be asked to sign a consent form. A copy of the interview schedule can be provided before the interview upon request. The interview will take no longer than 45 minutes.
The interview will be recorded, transcribed and stored safely. If requested, a copy of the recording and transcription can be provided for your records.
If you would like more information and are interested in taking part, please email me at l.odom6562@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk
