Advanced Strategic Brief Therapy - Origin and Development

Brief Strategic Therapy is an innovative concept for all major psychopathology to solve in a short time, then with high efficiency and effectiveness

This approach is based, in theory, systemic-constructivist theories, the rejection of any kind of indisputable "truth": there is only one reality, but there are indeed many points as we have adopted, or tools are used to look at the reality, to define a shift from a focus on intrapsychic activities of the person for the relational aspects of a person

The theory of a short strategic approach is also influenced by the concept of feedback and circular causality of modern cybernetics, and ideas of authors such as Heinz von Foerster and Ernst von GlasersfeldRadical constructivism is a philosophical school of thought that developed during the second half of 1900 He said the inability to pursue an objective representation of reality, because we live in reality, the reality we experience is the result of our own acts of creation

All of these features that we thought, "things" are now as properties belonging to the observer can not see the reality be regarded as something "objective" because it is built up by the cognitive processes of the person's life Our perception is not and can not be objective For suggestions, questions of fact to the same level of validity, even the medical science describes as hallucinations hold, there is a reality, but as a reality, as there are sentient beings

For technical and practical strategic brief therapy is apparent from the teachings of Milton Erickson (with its concepts of suggestion to change, to speak the language of the customer that the strength of the person and the transfer of language in a form of hypnotic therapeutic communication) and refining and systematization of these strategies carried out by the group in Palo Alto

Contributed by P. Watzlawick, DD Jackson, J. Haley, G. Bateson and others in this group are anthropological principles of human interaction, to have transferred the focus shift to the interaction of the person;, cybernetics, systems theory and is the logical world of Psychotherapy and developed the epistemological basis for the systemic therapy. It also led groundbreaking studies on the concept of direct communication and double bond to try to solve. A closer look at works Watzlawick, the pragmatics of human communication, theories of change and radical constructivism, it also shows the eclecticism of brief strategic therapy for his use of terms and ideas from many different fields, including coming to the ancient Chinese thought, the art of persuasion of the sophist Greek philosophers and the teaching of Zen

Move Over the last twenty years, the Centre of Strategic Therapy of Arezzo (founded in 1987 by Giorgio Nardone and Paul Watzlawick) with more than one hundred centers affiliate, played a continuous research, which allow you to, from general models of specific therapeutic intervention has protocols suited to individuals on their assessment of the specific resources and characteristics of their disease is based.

Sun intervention protocols, identifying effective solutions, strategies, has efficient and effective through repeatable, the Center for Strategic Therapy developed more appropriate to the specific mental disorders. These protocols are driving the predetermined sequences of operations, the therapeutic qualities and predictive heuristics, the therapist may have composed themselves to specific pathological rigidity undermined by the use of specific therapeutic stratagems.
