As in Open Leadership<\/a>, Open Religion<\/a>, Open Mindfulness<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not one more kind of psychotherapy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not just one more construct on top of the many but based on what underlies conceptual psychotherapy in general, being what happens at the subconceptual<\/a> level of which the conceptual is a crystallization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The latter leads to one construction or another, but always a construction. Conceptual psychotherapy<\/a> is always a mapping of the underlying landscape. It is a scientifically well-known fact that none of these mappings is efficient by itself. You simply cannot do with a mapping what you can do with a landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apparently, crystallizations don\u2019t work \u2015 fluidity works. I guess this is because the latter is needed to make contact, and good contact is supportive toward provoking change, even lasting change<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His client\u2019s voice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If, after successful therapy, clients are asked what made the therapy successful, they seldom refer to crystallization (the methodology). They mainly refer to the therapist\u2019s fluid characteristics of empathy, congruence, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They refer to the subconceptual elements of the therapy, not the conceptual ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That should not surprise anyone anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
