Integrative psychotherapy: using the principles of dynamic complex systems to guide everyday clinical work. This book introduces a new, integrative, systemic approach to psychotherapy and counseling and shows how the principles of dynamic complex systems can guide everyday clinical work. Our mental, interpersonal, and biological (e.g., neuronal) systems are complex and nonlinear, and allow spontaneous pattern formation and chaotic dynamics. Their self-organizing nature sometimes maneuvers the systems into pathological states. However, the very same principles can be utilized therapeutically to encourage change for the better. The feedback-driven nonlinear dynamic systems approach described h...
This is not a book about how to run a company. It is about how to look at the world differently. Ultimately, this will help the reader to deal with complexity more effectively. The market today is flooded with books which claim to show paths to higher organizational effectiveness. Most of these recommendations are given as “recipes for success” and on pragmatic grounds. This book, however, is targeted at all those who want access to the powerful models of systemic manageme nt in order to improve their skills in coping with complexity. The contents are of interest to people who deal with organizations – as leaders and mana gers or specialists, or as advanced students. The purpose is to ...
Instead of yet another theory on good governance, this book presents a substantiation of contemporary notions. It builds on the theoretical foundations for taking an overall perspective on social contexts and culminates in a systemic framework that captures social structures based on first principles of viability and sustainability. The framework at hand enables applicants to view social contexts holistically while at the same time envisioning a rich picture of what leverages the implementation of social purposes beyond the boxes of the professional disciplines: social structures can be assessed, strengths and weaknesses identified and measures arrived at. Ultimately, the required structures can be tailor-made to align forces for a joint implementation of purposes. Conventional static hierarchies can be deployed into dynamic social organisms capable of developing and adapting continuously according to the opportunities and challenges faced.
Das Buch gibt eine gut verständliche Einführung in die Grundlagen systemischer Therapie und Beratung. Systemisches Arbeiten wird in diesem Buch als ein Schaffen von Bedingungen für Selbstorganisationsprozesse verstanden, wie sie in psychischen, interpersonellen und biologischen Systemen ablaufen. Da solche Systeme aufgrund ihrer Nichtlinearität und Komplexität zu spontaner Musterbildung und zu chaotischen Dynamiken fähig sind, läuft diese Dynamik in manchen Fällen in unerwünschte oder "pathologische" Zustände hinein. Therapie besteht dann darin, die Selbstorganisationsfähigkeit der Systeme zu nutzen, um Musterwandel, Ordnungsübergänge und Lernprozesse anzuregen. Wie mit der Dyna...
Beratung gewinnt in unserer komplexen Gesellschaft nachhaltig an Bedeutung, weil Trends wie die Globalisierung, Individualisierung und Wissensflut mit Unsicherheit, vielfältigen Wahlmöglichkeiten, aber auch Entscheidungsnotwendigkeiten einhergehen. Daher stellt sich die Herausforderung, eine konsistente Beratungstheorie zu entwickeln und diese Interventionsform damit zugleich weiter zu professionalisieren.Als eine Metatheorie für die Gestaltung und Analyse von Beratungsprozessen wird in diesem Band die Theorie der Selbstorganisation, die Synergetik, zugrunde gelegt. Bei dieser Variante der Systemtheorie steht das wechselseitige Zusammenwirken von Elementen in komplexen, nichtlinearen Syst...
