MENDES, Jéssica Paula Silva; GRESSLER, Sionara Karina Alves de Brito  and  FREITAS, Sylvia Mara Pires de. Be psychotherapist: existential reflections on experiences of trainees-therapists beginners. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.2, pp. 136-143. ISSN 1809-6867.

This production presents a reflective analysis, based on Sartrean existentialism, on the idealization of the traineetherapist Being a beginner on the therapist. This reflection has as its starting point a few experiences of the authors and the observation of other trainees who were before the start of the practice of individual psychotherapy for adults and seniors, developed through the discipline of Stage-Specific I, the emphasis of Psychology Clinical and Processes, 4th year of Psychology at the University of Parana, Campus Umuarama / PR, in 2010. Based on these experiences, we deconstruct the place where sovereignty is often placed on the psychotherapist, this place built by ideologies that have created the role of the professional responsible for healing, valuing it greatly to the point of value truths that ignore the interdependence of the therapist- client, providing directions that lead the trainee-therapist beginner to create expectations facing his performances, which, embracing all responsibility for the "cure" the Other, it denies its existence as a journeyman. Therefore, we believe that projects do not cover idealized frustrations, making it impossible to recognize the limits of the project itself being a therapist.
