Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: This study examined therapists\' dispositional empathy profiles and how they differ based on professional and personal characteristics.
METHODS: A total of 376 clinicians was recruited for this study. Dispositional empathy was assessed with the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). Profiles were generated using latent profile analysis. Predictors of profiles were assessed with multiple self-report questionnaires measuring demographic and professional characteristics, romantic attachment styles, five-factor personality traits and vulnerable narcissism.
RESULTS: A four-profile solution was retained with the following proportions: rational empathic (20%), disengaged/detached (10%), empathic immersion (35%) and insecure/self-absorbed (35%). Overall, few relationships were found regarding demographic and professional characteristics. In contrast, significant relationships were found between profile membership and personal characteristics, including avoidant and anxious attachment, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, intellect/imagination and vulnerable narcissism.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings show that differences in therapists\' empathic dispositions are linked to personality dimensions. Implications for psychotherapy research, practice and training are discussed.

摘要：
目的：这项研究调查了治疗师的性情，以及他们在专业和个人特征上的差异。
方法：本研究共招募了376名临床医生。使用人际关系反应性指数（IRI）评估性格移情。使用潜在轮廓分析生成轮廓。使用多个自我报告问卷评估概况的预测因素，测量人口统计学和专业特征，浪漫的依恋风格，五因素性格特征和脆弱的自恋。
结果：保留了以下比例的四档解决方案：理性移情（20％），脱离/分离(10%),移情浸入（35％）和不安全/自我吸收（35％）。总的来说,关于人口统计学和职业特征的关系很少。相比之下,在个人资料成员资格和个人特征之间发现了显著的关系，包括回避和焦虑的依恋，令人愉快，尽责,神经质,智力/想象力和脆弱的自恋。
结论：研究结果表明，治疗师移情倾向的差异与人格维度有关。对心理治疗研究的影响，实践和培训进行了讨论。
