ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a story about two psychologists and how they were challenged by a task that was novel to them. It is also a story about a learning process. The task was a consultation at a large state school in Copenhagen. One of the psychologists was leader of the local school guidance service, and the other was a clinical psychologist at the same office. Neither of them, at the time, had any training in professional consultation. But the clinical psychologist—who is also the writer— was quite experienced in the use of systemic therapy, supervision, and thinking and was currently attending the Danish seminars on systemic consultation. People were mostly concerned with examinations and the new schedule for the coming school-term. It was difficult to get feedback or any ideas for specific wishes for the coming consultation weekend. People had striven to realize some of the proposals for change that came up during the consultation weekend.
