The work of a psychologist: Interesting and Useful 1049 Good afternoon, Dear Friends! You can learn a lot of important things for your work during supervision. I hope that the situations that I have now described below for you will further interest you in supervision, because it is in them that, for the most part, you can learn such subtleties that relate specifically to working with your clients. My examples are just examples of what can be achieved. I hope that, nevertheless, these are useful examples, despite the fact that the clients here are made up. A client complains to us about his wife. He says that he is dissatisfied with many things in his relationship with her now. He says that he even discusses this with her. And he argues with her at the same time. He says that at the same time, she remains close to him for everyone, supports him as best she can, although she is also dissatisfied, continues to take care of him in some way (cooks food, for example). Here you can draw the client’s attention to the fact that his wife’s big advantage is that she can withstand him with such manifestations, accepts him... Our client has complex relationships with people in general in life. But therapy helps him, let’s say, precisely by the therapist’s involvement, his sincere interest, sympathy, understanding, mutual sympathy (no boundary violations), willingness to meet at certain moments, and the like. If the client and the therapist are of different sexes, and if neither of them has sexual transference in this situation, and the rapprochement is based precisely on human sympathy, then we can say that what is needed from the therapist is emotional. We can also say that, and draw the client’s attention to this, that (remembering his difficult relationships with people mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph) he displaces this spiritual part from life into therapy. When working with a client, everything should be clear to us. So that our understanding would also be clear to him. That is, we asked questions, and then he understood himself better. Now, if our client from the first example says that because of “his relationship” with his wife, he doesn’t even want to go home, he often goes out to wander outside, smoke, etc. It would seem to us that everything is clear here - a difficult relationship with my wife! But it’s better not to think so, because here we have the idea that everything is clear to us. Is this really so? Here it’s better to ask: “What will happen if you don’t leave the house? What will happen if you go home right after work? Something important may also be revealed in this. I hope you liked it and I was able to further interest you in the supervision.
