Summary/Abstract: The aim of this qualitative research was to gain insight into the motives of experts for enrolment in psychotherapy training and the benefits gained during training. Ten experts from different disciplines participated in the research. Semistructured interviews were the main data collection approach. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Results show that the most common motives for enrolment in the training are: professional development, application of useful knowledge, practising psychotherapy as a profession. Recognized benefits are: strengthening of personal and professional relationships, personal development and skills application. The research provides additional understanding of the multidimensional effects of psychotherapeutic training especially for psycho-social help professions, which makes a scientific contribution of this paper due to the existing lack of research on this topic in the region.
