What types are the best psychologists by profession?

[discourse]

When choosing a psychologist, the type matters. But not only. There are also some other factors which play their role. The age, the sex, the stile of a therapy she or he is using. Still they are not the only factors. Type actually plays a great role. Another place where socionics comes to play is the duality. I think that a good psychologist needs to be dualised.

I have a psychologist. Though I don't feel ok! to shout it out openly. And I have had differend psyhologists before her. Untill I settled down with her. So I am speaking from my own experience.

So how to choose one? Types and workers qualities pay the role. Qualities: age, sex, the school of the therapy, dualisation. And types too. You will have to know your type for sure. And after that, you will have to know how do you get along with other types. Use this knowledge to mark down the types you know are great fit with you. Then use the parameters to find a psychologist among the types. So if you are ENTp, he or she has to have at least . So choose ENFp for example. And among ENFps try to find the best. By age. By sex. By school of therapy. By dualisation. Like Jungian therapist who is ENFp as a result.

Some speculations on why to choose dualised and intuitives

There are also some questions I am having. I understand that the dualisation pays a great role. Dualised people are balanced. Your psychologist has to be balanced and being herself or himself. It turned out the best ones, being like this, are the ones who are dualised. Otherwise he or she will have it's own problems. And it distructs therapy.

Onether question I am having is intuitivness. I am not so sure weather a psychologist you choose has or hasn't have to be intuitive.

The best psychologists I have met have been Ns. And the ones who have poor understanding of what the psyche means inside, are Sensors. They seem to have problems at moving to inside the problem. Seing what is inside.

So I sugest to choose, if you can, the Intuitive psychologist. At least when you are yourself Intuitive. Otherwhise you will not be satisfied with the poor explanations from the Sensing worker, because they are not informative enough. They don't grasp the inner picture deep enough.

What types are the best psychologists?

I would like to know, what types are the best psychologists? I wrote down my own experiences. But! I would like to know what types others think should be the best psychologists. And why?

Model-A talks of 4 blocks. So a psychologist should avoid to use information elements contained in functions 3 and 4 of his patient.

It is better to avoid 5 and 6, because a psychologist is NOT a friend, but a professional. I think the best relationship possible would be Identity, or Mirror.

I am beginning a behavioural science degree at university in 1 weeks time so i will let you know how it goes

ENFp are sometimes titled the Psychologist type. I have a very generalised intuition of people, i can also make them happier and listen. I do wonder about my ability to drill down to the core problem though. Im thinking i would make a better councillor..

An INFj friend of mine has made some amazingly accurate insights about people. He is also studying behavioural science and i think he would make a good psychologist / councillor.

I agree with what you say about them being Dualised. I dont personally see it as a neccessity. I think they need to be well grounded, and i think you can achive that without your dual. Being dualised im sure would be a bonus though.

A good psychologist would need to have a lot of life experience and have the ability to put themselves in their patients point of view. If an INTj came to an ENFp for help, the ENFp would have to understand that the INTj thinks very differently about life and that his/her strenghts lie in very different areas. Perhaps ideally every mirror is the best psychologist.

I would have agreed with him, if Duality wasn't a generator for some dependancy... Psychology is more about understanding than about support ; all function blocks are concerned in psychology, but it should be an emphasis on strong, especially ego functions rather than weak functions.

I think ESFjs, ISFps and ISFjs-Fi can be good psychologist too, even if they are sensors.

Meatburger, im starting a degree in psychology in about a weeks time

INFJs would make excellent psychologists. My buddy can see through people and understand their motivations and pasts in a way I never can no matter how much I analyze them.

I agree, but I feel that it might not be suitable for them to be psychologists in the long run. They can get too emotional or personal over the problems of others, and perhaps easily stressed out when their clients are not making any progress.

and...if their clients are actually getting worse they might seriously blame themselves

analyze story provided
guess most outrageous thing possible
check: is there any support for this whack shit?

IF SUPPORT == TRUE
tell person this is clearly the problem
wait for reaction

IF SUPPORT == FALSE
goto start

WHILE REACTION == DISPROPORTIONATE

goto start

I would generally discourage using "goto-programming" and replace gotos with e.g. while-loops. Makes programs easier to maintain in the long run because the control flow stays simple.
E.g. like this:

WHILE SUPPORT == FALSE
analyze story provided
guess most outrageous thing possible
check: is there any support for this whack shit? 
END WHILE

tell person this is clearly the problem
wait for reaction

WHILE REACTION == DISPROPORTIONATE
elaborate 
END WHILE

I'm just trying to prevent you from developing (imho) bad habbits

[ncassidy]

lol!

Your loops are a little different by the way... it has to start over when a disproportionate reaction becomes logical

"Oh ok, sorry... I should have known your problem wasn't related to his fear of commitment, seeing as he just proposed to you... maybe... hmm... does he have a problem with the dog by any chance?"

Yeah I cut out the last goto because I'm lazy However you can always replace goto with a loop. How about this one:

WHILE PROBLEM_SOLVED == FALSE

   WHILE SUPPORT == FALSE
   analyze story provided
   guess most outrageous thing possible
   check: is there any support for this whack shit? 
   END WHILE

   tell person this is clearly the problem
   wait for reaction

   WHILE REACTION == DISPROPORTIONATE
   elaborate 
   END WHILE

END WHILE

Good luck That Guy. Let me know how you go

I think the reason both of you need to express life in programming code subconsciously stems back from trampoline accidents when you were younger? Do you both fear trampolines?

This comment contains an intuitive leap of such magnitude that I am unable to follow its line of reasoning. However to answer your question - I have never had a trampoline accident nor am I afraid of trampolines but I have fell from a tree ending up having a concussion (however I am not afraid of trees either).
