Reflections on Reflecting Teams / Vega, Kristen

Reflecting teams have had a remarkable impact on therapy. This process is unique in that it gives the client multiple perspectives from a team of therapists and this sharing of ideas reveals new possibilities for the client. The idea originated from Tom Andersen and its process is described in vast detail. Additionally, Andersen offers several suggestions for therapists who wish to incorporate reflecting teams in practice. There has not been a great deal of research on this topic; however, a summary of a qualitative study will be provided. The study was conducted to obtain clients’ impression of the reflecting process. The research showed the recurrent theme was the value of multiple perspectives, which were most effective when they contained dialectic tensions. In other settings, Andersen’s ideas have been expanded in numerous ways; therefore, a few examples will be given. In one situation, the reflecting team process is used as a tool for training graduate students. Another team demonstrated how personal reflections can be intertwined in the reflecting process, in order to create a more authentic atmosphere. These examples show there are endless possibilities of incorporating reflecting teams, but they would not be possible without Andersen’s idea.
