The first meeting. What role does it play in the relationship between a psychologist and a client? What tasks do they face? How important are the first impression and contact? The first meeting, as a rule, is three to five meetings, is the key to the relationship between a psychologist and a client. The initial stage is an opportunity to receive a lot of valuable information, both for the specialist about the client and vice versa. That is, during the first meetings, not only does the psychologist observe and evaluate the information received, but the client also makes judgments about the meeting and the consultant. And at this stage, the client can already decide whether he can trust the psychologist, whether the specialist is able to accept him without judgment, empathize and understand the depth of his problem. About the main tasks of the first meeting for both the specialist and the client - in an interview with Elena Olkhova.
