The work of a psychologist: Interesting and Useful 938 Good afternoon, Dear Friends! And you and I continue to study the work of a therapist, we continue to study its various features, we continue to share our experience and knowledge accumulated during practice. I bring to your attention the nine hundred and thirty-eighth article in the series. In my articles the year before and the year before, I gave an example about a psychologist who, apparently, came to the conclusion that frustrating a client is very useful in this particular case, but went too far with it and the client left him . Yes, I suggested that the psychologist might think that being such a kamikaze from psychology, when he frustrates the client as much as possible, is the most optimal way for the development of healthy aggression in the client, which he lacked in life, creating various problems and difficulties. And perhaps the psychologist was right...Personally, my opinion here is that being such a kamikaze is not a very good idea, after all. Although it certainly has a right to exist. Personally, I think that, nevertheless, if the therapy had continued, then perhaps it would not have given such a sharp rise for the client (and was there such a rise? How can a psychologist understand this if the client could not withstand such pressure and left him?) , but could still bring a lot of benefit. It cannot be that the benefit of therapy lies only in frustration and that it cannot be useful in anything else. Yes, and such a psychologist cannot really track the effect of frustration, as I wrote, if the client left him. The client in my example complained that he was leaving empty-handed. He said that he missed discussing his feelings. Perhaps the client did not even leave empty, as the comments suggested to me, but devastated from the constant struggle with the psychologist that arose in him in response to frustration. Even though frustration itself, as we assumed, was beneficial. But here the psychologist did not clarify what it means to “leave empty.” Perhaps if he had clarified this, the client would have told him that he was devastated. And when and why can devastation occur? I think that not when a person thinks that he is right, when he is confident in himself and responds to frustrations from such a position. But rather, when he is offended, when he despairs of “influencing” the therapist. Of course, there will be benefits for the client in such a struggle. He struggles, fights, develops his strength. In general, even if you are such a kamikaze, it is important to clearly understand that this kind of therapy, even if very short-term, will bring maximum benefit in a relatively short period of time. Otherwise, it is better to act using “usual” methods. Do you also want to share something? Please write below in the comments! It will be important and interesting for everyone to learn something useful for their work or just for themselves! Thank you for your attention! The next, nine hundred and thirty-ninth article in the series will be published soon, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!
