Relational approach

The Relational Approach was founded in 2001 by Radatz and in 2013 as the word mark “Relational Approach by Dr. Sonja Radatz ”registered with the Austrian Patent Office. The relational approach assumes that our reality does not arise in itself, but through our relationships, i.e. our relationships with our environment. From this he derives design and action options for people (living systems) and social systems (families, cities, states, associations, companies, etc.).

The relational approach is made up of two terms: Relation (Latin relatio "carrying back") is another word for relationship. Approach is understood here in its meaning as a model of thought, as an explanatory principle.
