PSYCHOLOGICAL WORK WITH THE IMAGE OF A PARTNER IN COUNSELING PRACTICE
The article reveals the theoretical foundations on which the authors rely when organizing practical work on transforming the image of a partner among clients. The necessity is shown in the process of choosing techniques addressed to all layers of consciousness, providing the possibility of changing the image: meaning, meaning, biodynamic tissue and sensory tissue, in which the last two substructures are the building material of image construction. From the standpoint of a systematic approach, the main factors influencing the formation of the partner's image are revealed, with the justification of the need for research and subsequent corrective work with the identified causes determining the conflict of the partner's image among clients. The work with meaning as a structure of consciousness is supported by empirical research data from both other authors and their own empirical research. The role of culture as an "object space" (D.Winnicott) in the possibility of using the cultural field in practical work to change the image of a partner is revealed. The article also reveals the possibilities of art therapy and art therapy techniques in practical work with the image of a partner. Some techniques are proposed that promote the client to change the image of a partner at home. Examples are given showing the effectiveness of art therapy techniques and promoting the client to changes in partnerships.
