Structure of a Psychotherapeutic Situation in the Context of the Orthodox-oriented Approach

Abstract

The article introduces a model of a psychotherapeutic situation structure in the context of the Orthodox-oriented approach, which helps a psychologist to consider spiritual reality in psychotherapeutic case analysis. The author describes the opportunities of applying the model on the one hand for structuring and synthesizing theoretical material concerning current issue, and on the other hand for organizing the practice and supervision of an Orthodox-oriented psychotherapist, so that the spiritual reality would be naturally embedded into his interaction with the client.
