Abstract | As psychotherapists in hospitals, they need as holistic an understanding as possible of the organisation, its anxieties, defences and ways of splitting and projecting what is unbearable, frightening, incomprehensible, and besides this, they need to understand they fit in. In this article, the author shares her comments on a clinical extract involving a psychotherapist working with seriously ill children in a hospital. The author thinks that psychotherapists and counsellors have come, institutionally, to gain entry to the psychic places whence nurses became barred or absented themselves. She said this could be a great privilege. However, she believes that with privilege comes the danger of envy and denigration and there are hints in the process records that the therapist here felt herself to be unvalued by the patient's mother, and that people who had more concrete services to offer, such as medicine and cleaning, and of course the consultant, were felt to be more valuable. The author shares that in her experience, this denigration is to be expected as part of the job and the best antidote is to work in a collaborative and communicative way with medical, nursing and other healthcare staff. She concludes that it is essential to have an outsiders' view of hospitals to cope with working inside them. (ERIC). |
