Spanish term

donde se de cabida a la observación de la observación

Spanish to English Science Science (general)
I don't know if this is a typo or if the author is making a play on words. The author is prone to that kind of thing. It's an article on professional motivational coaching/counselling (supervisión) and this is describing what kind of environment is necessary for the coaching to be successful.


Orig
Para ello es imprescindible la dotación de un espacio de escucha, donde se acoja la subjetividad, donde se de cabida a la observación de la observación, a la vez que permite el planteamiento de alternativas de acción en esferas específicas y a través la cooperación profesional.

ROugh draft
This requires an environment where active listening takes place, where subjectivity is addressed, where observation is accommodated, where determining alternative actions in specific areas is made possible through professional cooperation.
