«Творческая клетка»: Психотерапевтическая рамка, ментализация и путь художника.

psychological counseling and psychotherapeutic practice is the concept of the "therapeutic frame" (you can still see the term "frame"), which includes strict conditions of interaction of the psychologist/psychotherapist with a client: psychotherapeutic contract, space, time and money. "Frame" is the specific supports that push the client's psychological difficulties. These supports make him feel and experience themselves fully, in touch with the pain, which led him to the psychologist's office. Sounds ominous, but not so scary. Usually, the conditions of interaction of the psychologist/therapist and client are both comfortable with from the very beginning works, but over time, they can be violated and, of course, first and foremost, the client (and the specialist, but it has a bell about his uncontrolled countertransference on the client). Violation of the "framework" is the way of existence that helps the client to move away from sensitive points (to resist) and unconsciously manifests his relationship to the person-therapist. Therefore, the psychologist/psychotherapist is actively assessing violations "framework", as this often is one of the keys to customer problems. Issues of countertransference and the psychotherapeutic fields are actively developed and described by members of the contemporary British school of psychoanalysis (object relations theory and attachment theory). For example, Robert Langsa proposed to describe the interaction between the analyst and his analysant the term "personalnoe field."

Also at the British school Peter Fonagy actively developed psycho work primarily with clients with personality disorders called "mentalitate". Mentalitatea is a complex process of emotional and cognitive perception of himself and his clients, the entrance of which one can understand and interpret human behavior as a purely internal, not external material causes. In this method recalls an active fantasy of the therapist and client together by the method of free Association Carl Jung and work with visual images. This process requires the regulation of emotion, attention, control, and active skill to cooperate. Again solid conditions and restrictions. Where is the freedom and creative?

I described the "therapeutic" frame "mentalization" to precede the question of the creative act and match all three of the described process. Many people mistakenly believe that they are doing only talented people, not talented doomed to exist, resigned, in his "grey" home world. To your disappointment, it is not so!

In my experience and the experience of many people's psychology of art, also artists, musicians, actors etc. the creative process is only possible in clearly specified conditions of the process of the creative act. To create "something" here does not pass. What exactly can I create? From the maximum specified initially request depends on the most fruitful creative act, whatever it was. The creative act in limits, just like in a psychologist's office. Any obstacles in your way make you feel and think. Stress creates movement around it, or overcome. Remember the hackneyed experiment with rats Hans Selye in the brain where implanted electrodes, stimulating the area of "happiness". Dorval to the coveted button, the rat could not stop to press it and die from "happiness", forgetting about all the basic needs. Why move when I have achieved all that life frantically looking in all the corners?

Obstacles (constraints) and the vector to achieve specific objectives — are integral parts of career. American screenwriter and writer Julia Cameron has created on the personal experience of getting out of a creative "dead end" series of books, trainings, which detail, step, describes how to overcome boredom, despair and once again become an "artist". She also talks about the whole system of conditions that activate the creative potential dormant under the weight of melancholy rational thinking. This miracle of technology "morning meetings" and "creative meetings" (who wants to know more about them, you will be able to read her books).

to regain the "freedom" of the creative act, it is important to first get emotional support, and then step by step to explore your personal system of limitations and obstacle to the achievement of your most cherished and important!, clear and specific goals. All desire of creative movement only forward!
