Shcherbyna L. Meta-theoretical thinking of psychotherapist: model, mechanisms, technology of development

Dialectical-phenomenological approach to research meta-theoretical thinking of a therapist was applied in the work. Substantive analysis of meta-theoretical thinking as the level of thinking constituted by consciousness of their own meta-theoretical reference points and resulted by sets of consciousness realized in the axioms, rules and regulations of theoretical thinking was done. The essence and conditions of thinking of psychotherapist were analyzed. The structural-functional model was proposed, the mechanisms and functions were described, and a concept and technology of development of meta-theoretical thinking of psychotherapist were created.
