Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on the influence of the subjective perception of the psychotherapist (as perceived by the client), as well as some other aspects of therapy, on the characteristics of the client – psychotherapist relationship among internally displaced persons. In our work, on the basis of the differential of psychosocial development (V. A. Ilyin), are proposed the algorithms for diagnosing the subjective perception of the psychotherapist and measures of the similarity of the personality traits of the client and the psychotherapist. Using cluster analysis, it was found that the sample of clients from among internally displaced persons can be divided into two groups according to their features of the psychotherapist's subjective perception. Clients from the “underestimation” group tend to downplay the qualities of the psychotherapist on the “trust” and “identity” scales, which indicates disappointment due to the expectation of a personal attitude from the psychotherapist, as well as such traits as optimism, openness, and directivity. Clients from the “revaluation” group tend to overestimate the psychotherapist on the “autonomy” and “competence” scales, which indicates the therapist's perception as a competent professional. It was found that the “overestimation” of the psychotherapist has a positive effect on the development and support of the working alliance and increases the degree of satisfaction with the quality of care; in turn, the “underestimation” has a negative effect on these parameters. For express diagnostics, correlations should be used, which show that clients with low values for all scales of the psychosocial development differential (customer self-esteem) and values on the “competence” scale less than 4.4 points are prone to “underestimating” the therapist. Internally displaced persons (predisposed to "underestimating") may be advised to undergo psychotherapy with a therapist who has a high level of similarity with them: a similar level of psychosocial development is obligatory (the therapist, in spite of this, must have high professional qualities and adaptability), similarity by gender is also important. According to our research, the listed organizational conditions of obtaining psychotherapeutic care for internally displaced persons (who are prone to “underestimation”) will have a positive effect on the working alliance.
