Abstract

V originále

The text tries to explore the therapist´s experience with a depressed client from three different perspectives: (1) the dynamics of the depressed individual, (2) the dynamics of the co-creation of depression, (3) the dynamics of the depressed situation itself. Each of these three perspectives is grounded in a different paradigm of change in psychotherapy, as detailed at the end of the text. Specifically, the text strives to understand the specifics of therapists´ own experiences in the presence of a depressed client from the perspective of the present situation. The text invites the readers to step out of the individualistic position of the therapist, client, or observer, and allow them to understanding to be led by the perspective of the situation that transcends the individuals involved.
