Use of the first round of the Delphi method to determine self-reflexive competencies of the psychologist. Educ Med Super [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.3, pp.397-410. ISSN 0864-2141.

A qualitative explanatory research study, which is the first round of a Delphi study, was conducted to set the dimensions of competencies called self-knowledge and self-control for the development of adequate therapeutic relationships of psychologists in undergraduate education. This study used an inclusive qualitative design of multiple cases through in-depth interviews to 15 experts. The method consisted of transcription of recorded interviews, finding of data, information segmentation, data coding, determination of dimensions, and creation of categories. As a result, 45 dimensions of the competence self-knowledge and 59 dimensions of the competence self-control were defined and grouped in five categories. A dimension/rank scale of assessment (Likert type) was created to be applied in the second phase of the Delphi study, so as to conclude the definition.

Keywords : self-knowledge competence; self-control competence; adequate therapeutic relations; Delphi study.
