When it comes to psychotherapy, listening establishes communication and makes psychologist-client dialogue easier. This qualitative research aims to discuss the clinic listening in phenomenological attitude in existential-phenomenological psychotherapy with deaf people. This perspective is based on the thinking of German philosopher Martin Heidegger, who considers humane a being-with and being-in-the-world, always unveiling meanings. Regarding the deaf people, Libras is currently the natural language of Brazilian deaf people. In this new language configuration, communication occurs in a visual-spatial modality. Thus, listening and speech gain new dimensions, demanding different ways of understanding in the field of psychotherapy. To the development of this research, we present excerpts from therapeutic sessions narratives with a deaf client, interpreted in the light of Heidegger s hermeneutics. We consider that it is possible for the psychotherapist to listen to deaf people in phenomenological attitude. Such position, which does not naturalize and limit the humane, helps so that the clients do not feel responsible for their existence and can hermeneutically converse in their language. In this context, the psychologist must be qualified to conduct the treatment in Libras. We hope that this research can, somehow, fill the existing gap of the scientific production about such theme in the field of Psychology and, mainly, instigate discussion in the context of Psychology courses on the importance and need to qualify psychologists for the management of clinical practice with deaf people / A psicologia faz uso da escuta como um dos recursos do seu trabalho. Em se tratando da psicoterapia, a escuta estabelece a comunica??o e facilita o di?logo entre psic?logocliente. A presente pesquisa, de car?ter qualitativo, tem por objetivo discutir a escuta cl?nica na atitude fenomenol?gica na psicoterapia fenomenol?gico-existencial com pessoas surdas. Essa perspectiva est? embasada no pensamento do fil?sofo alem?o Martin Heidegger, que considera o humano um ser-no-mundo-com-os-outros, sempre desvelando sentidos. Com rela??o ?s pessoas surdas, atualmente, a Libras ? a l?ngua natural das pessoas surdas brasileiras. Nessa nova configura??o de l?ngua, a comunica??o ocorre na modalidade espa?o-visual. Assim, escuta e fala ganham novas dimens?es que demandam diferentes formas de compreens?o no campo da psicoterapia. Para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa, apresentamos recortes das narrativas de sess?es psicoterap?uticas com um cliente surdo, interpretadas ? luz da hermen?utica heideggeriana. Consideramos ser poss?vel para o psicoterapeuta escutar pessoas surdas em atitude fenomenol?gica, com postura que n?o naturaliza e n?o limita o humano, auxiliando para que o cliente se responsabilize por seu existir e que possa dialogar hermeneuticamente em sua l?ngua, cabendo, nesse contexto, ao psic?logo, estar habilitado em Libras para realizar o atendimento. Esperamos que esta pesquisa possa, de alguma forma, preencher a lacuna existente no que se refere ? produ??o cient?fica sobre tal tem?tica, no campo da psicologia, e, principalmente, fomentar a discuss?o no contexto dos cursos de psicologia acerca da import?ncia e necessidade de capacitar o psic?logo para o exerc?cio da pr?tica cl?nica com pessoas surdas

This study explores trainees' experiences of power dynamics within a ritualised training context, with reference to the three major aspects of the study: training, ritual and power. The psychotherapeutic training took place at Agape, a community-based counselling service in Mamelodi, whose theoretical approach to training included a mixture of postmodern, ecosystemic and African traditions. A substantial literature survey examines the major concepts and issues related to the research subject, such as psychotherapeutic training approaches, the philosophies and theories that may inform training procedures, ritual practices in psychotherapy, and organisational and power aspects of psychotherapeutic training. The research process was executed using the qualitative, interpretive research methodology. A sample of six of the trainees who had completed their training at this placement was interviewed, and two of the trainers. The researcher's reflections on her own training experiences are woven into the material. Using the interview technique and through asking a series of open-ended questions, the researcher obtained an account of the subjective, sacralised training interactions at Agape. Themes were identified that had emerged during the interview process. In brief, the themes referred to trainees' theoretical and practical experiences in the training placement, how they made sense of the sacralised therapeutic experiences, and comments on their relationship with trainers and fellow trainees. The most common theme that emerged was that of power. The end product of this study portrays the trainees' understandings of power within a sacralised psychotherapeutic context and their responses to this. This study makes explicit the links between ritualisation and power within an evaluative psychotherapeutic training context, and the consequences of this for training. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
