A psychoanalyst is a specialist who:
- received a special education In Europe, unlike in the United States, a psychoanalyst does not need to have a medical degree. But even if a psychoanalyst is educated as a psychiatrist, then with a specific client he can only work either as a psychiatrist or as a psychoanalyst. Many psychoanalysts have their first education as a general psychologist. A mandatory requirement is to complete a special theoretical course at a psychoanalytic organization (association), about which, as a rule, such an organization issues an appropriate certificate. - passed personal study analysis It is impossible to get to know another person deeply enough without knowing yourself. In turn, introspection has its limitations. Even after completing the full course of psychoanalytic theory, a person who is going to become a psychoanalyst still has many "blank spots" that can seriously interfere with his work. Such gaps can be eliminated only through personal analysis. In addition, personal analysis for the aspiring psychoanalyst is one of the most important ways to see directly how his more experienced colleagues work in practice. - is a member of the psychoanalytic community Psychoanalysis is primarily a practical experience. No general theory can provide clues to the mental secrets of an individual. Therefore, the professional development of a psychoanalyst is impossible without a constant exchange of experience with colleagues. This exchange of experience takes several forms. For example, it can be conferences, seminars, group readings and discussions of professional literature, etc. A special place among the various forms of mutual support of psychoanalysts is occupied by individual and group supervision and intervision. These forms of professional exchange consist of psychoanalysts consulting each other regarding their specific practical cases. At the same time, the conditions of strict confidentiality are observed, only information necessary to understand the client's problem is submitted for discussion with colleagues, the discussion itself is conducted in a professional language, the name and other personal data of the client are either distorted or not disclosed at all. One way or another, the psychoanalyst cannot be alone. - has the appropriate personality traits The psychoanalyst must have a good command of his emotions; when working with a client, the psychoanalyst must simultaneously experience his feelings, but also not let them spill out, negatively influence the client, and deprive the psychoanalyst of the ability to think. The psychoanalyst should be polite, considerate and empathetic towards the client. The psychoanalyst must be widely erudite, without which understanding the client and, accordingly, proper work with him often becomes difficult or impossible. - complies with the requirements of professional ethics The psychoanalyst does not disclose information about his clients, does not use it in any other way for his own personal purposes; does not enter into any other relationship with the client, except for the psychoanalytic one; does not use the relationship with the client for his own personal purposes. Everything that a psychoanalyst undertakes in the framework of his professional activity serves a single purpose: to enable the client to most fully discover his inner essence.
