Integrated solution-oriented psychology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The integrated solution-oriented psychology (ILP) is one of Dietmar Friedmann founded coaching method. It claims to integrate the methods of solution-oriented short therapy , scientifically controversial methods of advanced neuro-linguistic programming and systemic therapy . There is no direct scientific research on ILP, so the effectiveness of the procedure has not been established.

History and Development

In the last few decades, new ways of thinking and working have been developed in psychotherapy and coaching that tend to concentrate on solutions rather than analyzing problems. This development can also be seen in the history of psychology .

At the beginning the question was asked about the cause of the problem. In psychoanalysis , therefore, problems are usually seen as symptoms of a pathological or personality disorder. In the 1950s one began to wonder what was keeping the problem going. Thus, humanistic psychology believes in self-realization and personal development in order to solve its problems.

ILP can be described more as coaching , i. H. No causes are sought and disorders treated, but the clients should acquire or strengthen competencies that enable them to achieve satisfactory results.

founder

The founder of the ILP is the book author and lecturer Dietmar Friedmann . After further training in procedures in humanistic psychology (GT and TA), he began to develop a solution and process-oriented therapy and coaching procedure around 1980, which he initially called "integrated short therapy" and later "integrated solution-oriented psychology (ILP)". In 1990 he began training in psychotherapy and psychological counseling and passed this training method on to interested parties in Germany and Switzerland as part of a franchise system .

Components

The initial objective (around 1990) was to integrate the methods of the therapies developed in the last decades (around 1980) (especially solution-oriented short therapy, systemic therapy, advanced NLP).

ILP assumes that people move in the three areas of feeling, thinking and acting in their everyday life. However, these competencies are not isolated skills, but rather the results of different processes in which all three aspects (feeling, thinking, acting) are always involved in different ways. The content and procedures of these competence processes determine the procedure in the ILP. In the ILP there are methods of various therapy procedures that have been further developed to varying degrees or supplemented by our own methods,

  • The solution-oriented short therapy (de Shazer)
  • The advanced depth psychological NLP (E. Berne, R. Bandler)
  • Systemic-energetic therapy (Perls, M. Erickson)
  • The autonomy training ( R. Grossarth-Maticek )
  • Systemic, solution-oriented partner therapy (de Shazer)
  • The competence advice

and the extensions based on a competence and process-oriented personality psychology. ILP refers to a process-oriented personality typology, psychography .

Competence and process-oriented personality typology

Personality typologies are often seen in academic training as pre-academic models with a tendency towards self-confirming assumptions. Contributing to this is that most personality typologies proceed phenomenologically. They describe observable characteristics of personality types. This is relatively imprecise, as these observations do not take into account different developments in personalities, neurotic impairments or reactions to different situations. In the ILP, personality types are described as processes. This should assign phenomenological observations to the processes typical of personality and understand them as an expression of these processes.
