Identity as a target of psychological counselling at clinic

The paper deals with the content of psychological counselling at clinic. It includes reasons of an insufficient demand for a clinical psychologist and his/her insufficient performance. Psychological counselling at clinic, unlike clinical and psychological interventions or psychotherapy, does not have an unambiguous definition and does not depend on regulatory documents. There are no specific indications and contraindications for psychological counselling, as well as application rates and standards. As a main direction of psychological counselling, the author does not only refer to coping in the social reality, but also to a patient’s adjustment to own personality and counselling to overcome a personality disorder caused by an illness. The new identity, albeit under new conditions changed by the illness, develops as far as the patient follows a trajectory of his/her life and achieves goals relevant for him/her based on significant values.
