Symptom Paradoxes: A Systems-Analytical Approach to Working with Psychosomatic Symptoms
14.99 €
Diagnosis and therapy of psychosomatic problems presupposes an appeal to the idea of the unity of the psychic and somatic. Another important attitude in the diagnosis of psychosomatic problems is the search for their causes, which implies a deep analysis of the structure of the client's personality, his life experience and his life history. These ideas are most fully reflected in the author's system-analytic approach to client diagnosis, which is based on the principles of systematicity, phenomenology, and development. The main material for the application of this approach is the phenomenon of a symptom and the patient's attitude to it.
On the conscious level, the client has a passionate desire to get rid of the symptom, while the other, unconscious part is stubbornly reluctant to part with the symptom. The client wants to change his life with the help of psychotherapy without actually changing anything in it. Working with the symptom requires an awareness of these paradoxes in order to utilize the energy they contain.
