Operative classification of pathological persistences and their effective solutions & unsuccessful management and dysfunctional organizations
During the Conference a space of time will be dedicated daily to innovative presentations. Thus all colleagues, interesting in presenting their work are invited to send an abstract of their presentation together with the filled‐in Proposal Form found in the Conference website ( www.bsst.org/congress%202010/abstract.html). Presented works will be selected by the Scientific Committee.
Statement from Professor Giorgio Nardone, Coordinator of “Brief Strategic and Systemic Therapy World Network:
“It is our pleasure to invite you to participate to the 1st World Conference, From the Art to Technology of Change. This global meeting is the result of the great success obtained by the 3 previous Editions organized from 2003 to 2007 for the hen Brief Strategic and Systemic Therapy European Network".
More than 3.000 participants (general practictioners, psychologists, entrepreneurs and managers) coming from not only Europe but from 36 different countries turned this meeting into one of the most important event in modern Psychotherapy, Problem Solving & Communication Communities.
50 years after the first Brief Strategic and Systemic formulations, a major evolution appears to be capable to go beyond the traditional epistemological position based on the absolute refusal of diagnostic classification, with the aim of moving away from deterministic paradigms. Even though, through the years the great masters have made use of concrete heuristic principles. Each one, in his/her different approach, has identified basic principles amongst similar problems adapting them to the different context.
During the last 20 years, the systematic empirical-experimental studies and clinical experiences have guided us to device a pragmatic map of therapeutic strategies for the different form of disorders which leads us to their effective solutions.
Such a strategic classification differs clearly from traditional psychiatric nosography, because it is not a mere static description but offers an operative knowledge of the phenomenon on the study. This advanced diagnostic instrument allows us to have at our disposal concrete and precise criteria which guide us to the resolutions of the presenting problems. Resolution of the problem is not the result of sheer creativity or a mere strike of genius, but also the ability to identify and make use of specific “reducers of complexity” present in similar problematics. This discovery signs the passage from an artistic to a technological knowledge of psychopathologies.
Moreover, by identifying how the problems maintain themselves, that is the failed redundant attempted solutions, we can come to hold therapeutic tools devised “ad hoc” for different psychological disorders. Rigorous yet flexible, adaptable to each singular case, the strategic operational diagnosis is a “map, not the territory”, but which permits us to come to explore and discover the actual grounds. These important discoveries lead us to name the Conference “From the Art of Change to Technology of Change”.
As in the previous editions, the Conference will comprise of symposia, workshops and presentations. The Conference will have the privilege to host the most important exponents and innovative contributors in the field of Psychoherapy, Communication and Problem Solving.
