【摘要】不贞行为的表现被认为是伴侣治疗中最具挑战性的问题之一。然而，治疗师在与伴侣一起处理不贞行为问题时的主观体验仍然不太为人所知。我们进行了一项基于治疗师人格（POTT）模型的扎根理论研究来探索这一现象。我们的样本是八位拥有长达20年专业经验、借鉴了一系列专业理论取向的治疗师。我们的分析使我们得出结论，矛盾心理的概念最能捕捉和描述治疗师处理不贞行为的经历。我们确定了这一主题的三个不同方面，并开发了其在治疗过程中的轨迹模型。通过这种方式，我们的工作有助于我们了解治疗师如何处理不贞行为，并为在这一领域工作的治疗师提供一些急需的指导。

[Abstract] A presentation of infidelity has been described as one of the most challenging issues to work within couple therapy. Yet the subjective experiences of therapists as they engage with couples working through infidelity remains poorly understood. We undertook a grounded theory study building on the Person of The Therapist (POTT) model to explore this phenomenon. Eight therapists with up to 20 years’ professional experience who drew on a range of professional theoretical orientations formed our sample. Our analysis led us to conclude that the concept of ambivalence best captured and described therapists’ experiences of working with infidelity. We identify three distinct facets of this theme and developed a model of its trajectory over the course of the therapeutic process. In this way, our work contributes to our understanding of how therapists deal with infidelity and provides some much-needed guidance for therapists working in this field.
