Learning to comprehend the multiple perspectives of psychotherapeutic interactions.
This study focuses on an educational experience aimed at preparing the participants to appreciate and comprehend the multiple perspectives of psychotherapeutic interactions. A group of advanced psychiatric residents listened, during four seminars, to a complete psychotherapeutic session conducted by their colleague. The clinical material stimulated them to bring out their own perspectives, which were both complementary to, and different from their colleague's. In the process the participants had the opportunity to experience the complexity of the many-sidedness of the therapeutic interactions. In a well designed program for the learning of psychotherapy, this educational approach is to be integrated with other methods.
