Supporting Physicians During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cumulative Feminist Autoethnography

Abstract

Three marriage and family therapists discuss their experience providing therapy and support interventions for physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic. They present three feminist autoethnographic accounts about the unique intersectionality of their lives as they served physicians on the frontlines of the pandemic whilst also negotiating the pandemic themselves. Three themes from the narratives are presented and explored and implications are given for other therapists whose clinical services for medical care professionals also carried a personal and emotional cost.
