Reflections on Implementing the POTT Program in a Master's Clinical Program

Abstract

The person of the therapist (POTT) framework is a model of therapist training that can enhance clinicians' attunement and further clinical efficacy. In this autoethnography, two graduate school professors of colour detail their experience of implementing the POTT framework overlaid to academic work. This article presents specific arguments for the use of this model as it furthers therapist accountability and responsiveness. The model's advantages in clinical graduate training are also reviewed.
