心理臨床におけるずれの性質と働き

Abstract

Psychotherapy is based on the subjectivity of both client and therapist, and the therapist's attitude described by many concepts, for example, empathy and acceptance, is important to understand the client's subjective world. Thus in clinical psychology, "difference and its movement" is generally thought negatively as what should not happen and is not what these concepts describe. In some experienced therapists' essays, "difference and its movement" is experienced as both negative and positive. The meaning depends on the relationship of client and therapist. After "difference and its movement" has happened, it can be used as a clue to develop their relationship. When its creative function works, we find the therapist's very subjective commitment. In psychotherapy, "difference and its movement" between client and therapist is even needed. Not only in the therapeutic relationship, but also in the client's expression is there "difference and its movement" and it cannot be defined substantially before it happens. But "difference and its movement" can be a point of view when we reflect on what has happened in clinical psychology.
