The clinical interview is a one-hour session, in which a communicative exchange takes place between psychologist and client, which aims at building a clinical relationship. The clinical interview is a listening space, where the person can evolve and be supported by a professional who offers his theoretical knowledge, his training and his clinical experience.  

 

What is meant by a psychological path?

 

A psychological path consists of a series of clinical interviews on a weekly or monthly basis. This process is divided into two phases, a first phase of consultation, in which together with the client / s we evaluate together the path that best suits his needs, and a second phase in which the psychologist sets a number of interviews to pursue one or more goals.

 

Individual psychological paths

 

This path is aimed at those who face a personal crisis, a suffering or discomfort, or a well-defined symptom, but also to those who want to enhance aspects of themselves and their life, to those who require help in managing their emotions, or want better understand the origin of certain behaviors. The psychologist's task will be to define the client's desired state, or how things will be when the path ends; and, consequently, to pursue it by revealing and strengthening the customer's own resources.

 

Psychological path for couples

 

This path is aimed at couples who face a crisis in their relationship history, or who want to improve aspects of their relationship.  The psychologist will define the desired state of the couple, or what the couple will be like at the end of the journey. The definition of the desired state for a couple helps to grasp the similarities and differences between the two partners, helps to communicate in a functional way, and leads to finding an agreement that is felt and wanted by both. This lays a strong foundation for the success of the psychological path as a couple.

 

Family psychological path

 

This path is suitable for families, who are going through difficult moments and want to acquire tools for a better management of the family unit; especially recommended if one of the members exhibits behaviors that appear to have jeopardized the balance of the family. The goal of this path is to reduce family discomfort, to improve its self-efficacy and consequently to increase their resources.
