FORMING HYPOTHETIC COMPETENCE IN PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS THROUGH MASTERING THE PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC TECHNOLOGY OF ANALYSIS OF SENSE ORIENTATIONS OF THE CLIENT

Abstract

The article deals with the formation of the competence of hypothetical students of psychologists through mastering the psychotherapeutic technology of analyzing the client’s life-meaning orientations. The hypothetical nature of a psychologist is a set of assumptions about potential scenarios for the development of events in the client’s life. The “optimal” scenario for the client is revealed with the help of tools: the psychologist’s intention and his mastery of the author’s psychotherapeutic technology. The author considers the experience of forming a hypothetical psychologist through teaching the practice of working with the client’s life-meaning orientations in three aspects: acquiring knowledge about the phenomenology of life (mainly the subject-activity approach); the process of accompanying the client, i.e. the author’s psychotherapeutic technology. The work shows that formation of the competence of the hypothetical psychologist is directly dependent on the student’s professional motivation and awareness of his life experience.
