受苦是人類必經現象，雖然受苦令人不安，但眾多的研究都證明受苦生命經驗可以令人發現生命的意義，並經由受苦經驗的轉化成長，形成個人生命的智慧。在心理治療中，心理師會協助當事人面對生活中的困境，但在現實生活裡，心理師也會面臨人生的苦難。因此本研究將焦點集中在瞭解心理師的受苦生命經驗內容、心理師經歷受苦生命經驗時獲得意義的方式、心理師經歷受苦生命經驗後的轉化，以及心理師的受苦生命經驗轉化在治療實務工作上的應用。
　　本研究採用敘說研究法，讓故事反應受訪者的經驗，同時採用「整體—內容」與「類別—內容」兩種資料分析方式。本研究共訪談三位資深心理師，第一階段的分析呈現三位受訪心理師的受苦生命經驗故事，並個別就三位受訪心理師的敘說故事，針對四個研究問題提出主題整理與研究者的詮釋。
　　第二階段則根據研究問題與目的進行跨案例分析及綜合討論。在「心理師的受苦生命經驗內容」方面，歸納出「求不得苦」、「愛別離苦」及「怨憎會苦」等主題；在「心理師經歷受苦生命經驗時獲得意義的方式」方面，則歸納為「承擔與接受」、「寄託與盼望」，及「堅持與相信」等三個主題；在「心理師經歷受苦生命經驗後的轉化」方面歸納為「隨緣不變，不變隨緣」、「盡其在我」，及「吃苦了苦，回甘人生」等三個主題；在「心理師的受苦生命經驗轉化在治療實務工作上的應用」中則歸納為「悲心作意」、「以不忍人之心，行不忍人之政」，及「漫漫治療路，你我同行」等三項主題。
最後，根據研究結果對讀者、心理治療實務工作、心理師養成教育及未來研究方向提出相關建議。

Suffering is an essential course experienced by everybody, psychotherapists are no exception. The purpose of this study was focused on suffering life experiences of psychotherapists. I explored the contents of their suffering life experiences, how the psychotherapists understood and constructed meanings of the experiences, the potential transformation of the experiences and how psychotherapists use their learning from these experiences in their clinical work.
Narrative analysis indicated that psychotherapists interviewed in this study identified a number of suffering life events including what they wanted, losing what they loved, and encountering what they disliked. They got meaning of the suffering life experiences by defining the experiences as:” bearing and acceptance”, “commitment and expectation” and “insistence and believing”. Transformations indentified by the participants included: “it’s all up to me”, “following conditions (sui-yuan) while remaining unchanged (bu-bian) , remaining unchanged while following conditions.” and “ went through suffering and rejoice over life again.”
Results of this study also showed that after suffering life experiences, psychotherapists had more compassion toward their clients, with a commiserating mind was practiced a commiserating practice, and as a patient companion during the long process of psychotherapy.
