The Systemic Psychotherapy between
Science and Intuition


Слайд 2in this presentation I return – with several modifications -to issues

I already treated and aslo recently

this new version has been prepared for the Conference “The Anatomy of (un)reason” held in Krakòw, Poland, October 10 – 12° 2014.

the presentation has to be followed by Massimo Giuliani’s presentation “Beyond Medicine – Beyond Psychology – Beyond Post-Modernism: The Milan Approach to Systemic Psychotherapy”

http://prezi.com/2lgk1ozulcx7/the-milan-approach-to-systemic-psychotherapy/


Слайд 3the aim of this presentation is to contribute to answer to

a question that psychotherapists conforming to different schools of thought know very well



Слайд 4


“what am I REALLY doing
when I lead a therapy session?”

despite

therapists may try to remain faithful to their refernce theories and to the narratives by which they describe their approach to psychotherapy, there is always a gap between what they actually do and waht they tell that they do – included the theoretical explanations and modelizations of what they do

my claim is that this is an unavoidable and even positive phenomenon




Слайд 5
in trying to answer to the question I’ll draw from my

own experience as a Systemic Psychotherapist and a Teacher of the so called “Milan Approach” to Systemic Psychotherapy

in other words, I will not proceed from a generic or “neutral” point of view

in the meantime I assume that the conclusions I will reach can be shared, in many cases, with professionals conforming to different theoretical frames



Слайд 6
the main features and basic assumptions of the “Milan Approach” to

Systemic Psychotherapy founded by Luigi Boscolo and Gianfranco Cecchin at the end of the seventies will be outlined in the next presentation led by my colleague and friend Massimo Giuliani

the reason why we decided that I should present the first will be clear at the end of my talk



Слайд 7

anyway it will be useful to remark that in the “roaring

years” of the Systemic Psychotherapy (approx. 1970 – 1990)


practicioners were stunned by the elegance
both of conceptual models
and of related practices


it all looked so easy and simply beautiful


on a regular basis the students fell in love with it, beginning to imitate what the Masters used to do

small surprise if the results were many often clumsy, not beautiful at all




Слайд 8


with time, we learned that what we usually were doing in

therapy


not rarely was different from what we were taught


and also from what we in turn were teaching to younger professionals


Слайд 9
in the field of systemic psychotherapy many scholars introduced new ideas

trying to explain why systemic therapies seemed to be so extraordinary

radical constructivism, conversationalism, social constructionism, narrativism … and so on

this accelerated a flux of continuous changes in practice

the mind-boggling thing was that practice kept being different from all models that tried to explain it

Слайд 10

in 1989 Gianfranco Cecchin gave a talk at the English Association

of Family Therapy whose title was

“OLD WINE IN NEW BOTTLES”

Слайд 11“We are forced to repeat things very well known already, but

it is still necessary that we keep talking about therapy and explain what we do … If old concepts are still good – if wine is still good – so why not to change the bottle, in other words why not to change the way in which concepts are described? Actually we have no other choice … as you can see, the story of family therapy, or the story of family theory is in turn a narrative structure. Just like the therapeutic process: once you arrive to a certain point, contradictions and unavoidable dissonances force you to look for a different explanation, a new story about what you are doing”

Слайд 12

I’m persuaded that Cecchin was serious and deeply rooted in his

own therapeutic identity when he claimed that


“actually we have no other choice”


my claim, in turn, is that effective therapists are always in advance in respect of their reference model









Слайд 13


I also claim that this occurrence can be explained and it

has strictly to do with the nature of a therapeutic process itself

during the session the therapist is connected with “something in advance” in respect of the words he uses


scholars probing the realm of consciousness can help us to understand why




Слайд 14

Henri Bergson, mathematician, philosopher, Nobel Prize


David Bohm, physicist and science philosopher


Montague

Ullmann, psychiatrist, researcher and psychoanalyst


Efstratios Manousakis, quantum physicist at Florida University


they seem to have some basic ideas in common about consciousness, though the language they use and some philosophical implications can be different







Слайд 15


7 concepts they share







Слайд 16
consciousness is not “produced” by the brain


consciousness is the basic ontological

reality


individual “substreams of consciousness” are part of a “global stream of consciousness” which comprehends all that exists and existed





Слайд 17

important parts of consciousness, both individual and global, are in a

“potential state” that can be actualized by the operations of the mind


intuition works without the help of memory


both the production of theories and the perception of “matter” are operations implying memory and comparison




Слайд 18





intuition and action are in a close relationship



Слайд 19
once a therapist becomes aware of what a patient “remembers/knows” about

being in a certain state, the therapist can make an idea of what is allowed and forbidden to do with that patient


this implies what the practice of Milan Approach shows since decades


theories and related techniques much more than the sole “empathy” are not only useful, they are necessary to join a system and let the therapeutic relationship take place

Слайд 20


but once the therapist joined the system, change will occur only

by

forgetting theories, de-reifying narratives, relational patterns, roles and so on

in other words

the use of techniques paves the road to intuition

which, in turn, has

affective qualities that can be represented through metaphors

which eventually, in Ullman’s words are

“the stuff of reality”



Слайд 21

though different for what concerns the setting, in its ultimate roots

the process is not quite different from that of creation in narrative



Слайд 22Ernest Hemingway used to say
about narrative process:
 
“… I always try

to write on the principle of the iceberg. There is seven-eighths of it underwater for every part that shows. Anything you know you can eliminate and it only strengthens your iceberg. It is the part that doesn’t show.

If a writer omits something because he does not know it then there is a hole in the story.” 


Слайд 23about 40 years ago in Italy many of us fell in

love with a song composed by a weird couple of guys, the songwriter Giorgio Gaber and the painter Sandro Luporini

the song was called


“Reality is a Bird ”


Слайд 24


“a strange bird fascinates me

it has no past nor remains

the same


I must anticipate it I must go after it

otherwise I’ll die for normality”


Слайд 25
it’s up to you to wonder

where it’s going to …“

“reality



is a no-memory bird

Слайд 26


in the most crucial moments of a session, a psychotherapist is

abducted by a peaceful feeling of nothingness whence gush those




Слайд 27

intuitions

metaphors

actions


that decide the destiny of a psychotherapy


Слайд 28
now Massimo Giuliani will introduce you to what we pretend the

“Milan Approach” should look like

it will be evident that the great value of its epistemological, theoretical and technical framework resides mainly in what the approach allows and forbids to do during therapy sessions

Слайд 29that is, opening the gates

to the unpredictable

to the new

to

what will never be liable to a complete description
