Book by H. Bialiauski and K. Sakalou “Tarot for Professionals. Psychological Analysis of a Practice” was released in 2021. On the one hand, the book may seem absolutely ordinary for a practicing psychotherapist, but for a Tarot card practitioner who has no psychological education, this is an absolutely unique publication. Based on the results of our research, we have come to the conclusion that the integration of the Tarot cards and practical psychology and psychotherapy is enlarging at an ever-increasing pace. As a result, many fellow tarologists feel a strong deficit in high-quality and accessible psychological knowledge. However, the existing psychological literature either bears a tabloid character and is of little use, or, on the contrary, is highly professional and written in such a language that it becomes inaccessible to people without proper psychological education.
This book is a kind of bridge between practical psychology and Tarot. It contains a huge amount of useful practical information for Tarot readers about what is happening between them and their clients on a psychological level. The book covers topics of various types of characters, age characteristics and developmental crises, paradigms and approaches in psychology, topics of psychological trauma, sexology, group dynamics, psychosomatics, explains many complex terms. The book contains a number of psychological and esoteric essays on the deeper issues and problems of human life. The whole book is based on the analysis of practical cases in the work of Tarot readers, written in an accessible and simple language, and will be useful not only for the practitioners of mantics, but also for all those who work with clients in any profession.
