“Explain to me what he's thinking? How do I find out his plans? Why did he do that?” An even harder task: two people who are close, very dear to the person I'm talking with, are fighting. It needs to be made to stop. The person I'm speaking with is very upset: “So you're saying you can't make them make up...”
Yes, a psychologist can't read minds.
Even so, it's possible to pull off something just as impressive as pulling a rabbit out of a hat! To do this, the work needs to be divided between the psychologist and the client. Together with the psychologist, you examine the situation, and check whether your picture of it matches reality. Call everything by its true name, and establish the connections between what's happening.
This practical examination leads to positive changes in mental processes, which improves every area of a person's life. This includes relationships with family and loved ones, studies, work, and physical wellbeing.
By bringing our inner picture of reality into alignment with reality itself, we gain the opportunity for a full and fruitful life.
And no magic tricks are needed!
