THE MEANING-THAT-HAS A MEANING:
A PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS
Keywords:
Phenomenological psychology, Therapeutic- meaning, Therapeutic processAbstract
This article discusses an empiric research based on the
phenomenological psychology; it is about the "meaning that has a
meaning", in the context of the discussion of a therapeutic session. The
subjects were five psychology therapists considering psychological
sessions conducted by themselves. In this process it was possible to
explicit which questions they were in fact answering when telling their
sessions in a significant way. From these questions they brought up
structured characteristics of the experience of the meaning in this context.
One of them is that this meaning can never be apprehended as only an
object but what is needed is that the act itself, of apprehension or
expression, has to be significant too. By this understanding that the
meaning which was of interest to them was always present envolving the
therapist in his apprehension.
