Cosa fa esattamente lo psicoterapeuta? If anyone has an answer to this question, I'd be happy to read it.
As far as I can understand, a psychotherapist who is an expert in using social techniques - verbal and non - directs the insured to a behavioral change. Very interesting and debated the neural mechanism by which psychotherapy acts: I'm pleased to think that the social situations that are created with the therapist to act on neuronal plasticity by inducing the development or regression of nerve connections. How do all the events of our lives. The presence of an intention behind this action should ensure that you get a net effect of change. In other words, the environment around us sculpts rocks as a prey to erosion, but a psychologist, who has the specific intention to change us in a sense, acts upon this rock as a sculptor. Right?
I doubt it.
In life you meet many people who take us in different social interactions. Sometimes some of them have clear in our intentions concerns. They want us to have more initiative, we were milder, or more generous. Sometimes they are also experts in social interactions, may be sports coaches, teachers, priests. We have thousands of opportunities to establish a social change in our time. But on many occasions, we reject the thinning attendance with people - we complain - "we do not accept."
The psychotherapist is not really a person who does not accept us? If we accept as we are, would have no effect. Although not "judge", he intervenes when we ourselves do not accept more. Our staff travel by him / her and pay for it why do not you agree. We do this because he is an expert and we gli tributiamo fiducia.
In altri termini, il suo potere viene in larga parte dal
ruolo che noi gli attribuiamo. La tecnica c'è (ce ne sono anche troppe), ma è lì la chiave?
Siamo animali sociali, e il ruolo di una persona nella società è fondamentale. Se io mi accordassi con un caro amico affinchè mi faccia da personal trainer dovrei accettare che questi assuma il suo ruolo in pieno e mi rimproveri quando mangio schifezze e non faccio gli esercizi. Questa è una cosa che ai nostri amici non permettiamo, ma la permettiamo a un semi-sconosciuto. Comincio a pensare che sia lo stesso con lo psicologo. Da un lato c'è "l'expert power", un fattore che ha su di noi lo stesso effetto del testimonial in advertising: we trust what he says because he is an expert. Yet what he says is often no more than what others have said, but we had no chance. Because he has something special? I believe the reason is rather that at the time of our lives that we change, and we are simply more receptive.
then? Psychotherapy has any use, or, as I suggest, what matters is the availability of the subject to questioning? If the latter proposition were true, then we should note that where there is a psychologist, but lacks the personal will, also lack the improvement. And this is true. Stay
to show that change is possible thanks only to personal will, taking advantage of the opportunities we have always, rather than turning to the therapist. I also believe this is possible.
course, this may be more difficult for some people than for others. And here comes the expert. Allorami but wonder: rather than advertising to psychotherapy, because we do not teach in art school to change themselves using environmental stimuli? Why not teach students to study using the knowledge we have of the brain? Why do we rush to learn many things - what they can do even animals - instead of learning how to learn?
