THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Our therapeutic approach is based on the systemic tradition started by Gregory Bateson and the Palo Alto Group more than fifty years ago. It is characterised by attention to subjectivity and single individual in the context of the relationship of which he/she is part. It also draws on some contributions from clinical cognitivism.Emotions, feelings, explanatory schemes, semantic polarities and individual belief systems are as central to our approach as are interactions, relations and conversational processes within the family. The school maintains a strong interest in pragmatics and builds on the idea of emotions being at the heart of semantics.
