We often refer to our ability to perceive the other mind as a gift of our experience that helps us in our work. But to use this insight as a guidance counselor in the treatment process is sometimes a harbinger of relational mistakes that affect the success of the treatment.

The specialist, psychiatrist or psychotherapist (but also other aid professionals), has to learn the process of the suspension of judgment “epochè”, described in Jaspers’ psychopathology.

To foster learning of “epochè” we developed some exercises that help the young therapist in training. We believe they are also particularly useful for the training of students who are undergoing specialized training to become psychiatrists.
