To tell the truth, all of us dislike psychologists, explaining it with unwillingness to reveal before foreign person. But also, many have a fear of psychological influence in the course of communication with the expert who knows what installations he is capable to introduce in consciousness? And to some extent this fear is reasonable as the speech is the most powerful instrument of influence, another thing is that the psychologist has no need to make any suggestions without the knowledge of the patient. But ability to distinguish signs of psychological influence can be useful in the mass of other cases. So let's deal with this question not to become a toy in hands of ill-wishers.
Psychological influence in the course of communication
The person does not live in a vacuum therefore it is influenced not only by close people and doctors, but also fleeting acquaintances, fiction and media. The last especially often use psychological models of the convincing influence which bears fruit – many people (especially it concerns the senior generation) blindly trust everything that is broadcast by the central TV channels. But except belief there are also other ways of influence which use in the correct proportions can result in the stunning results.
