Even so, this is only the beginning and the end. What comes between is also crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don’t know her, please [see: “Lisa<\/a>“].<\/p>\n\n\n\n Psycho-therapies are semi-ideologies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One can see this in heated discussions between adherents of different schools, even while no school seems to contribute much to psycho-therapy\u2019s overall effectiveness. [see: \u201cPsycho-therapy vs. Psychotherapies<\/a>\u201d] Meanwhile, many psychotherapists pragmatically regard themselves as eclectic<\/em> or integrated<\/em>. This means that either 1) they make their own mix of methodologies, or 2) they act as they see fit, regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even so, within the schools, the us-them fighting continues and even appears to become more contentious, for instance, in social media (private communication). In any case, much of the fighting is related to different worldviews, views upon the human being, and ideological value systems, starting with what exactly may be the goal of psychotherapy. [see: \u201cWhat is Success in Therapy?<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, unifying the domain of psychotherapy amounts to what resembles unifying ideologies. [see: \u201cHow to Unify Ideologies<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisa (and AURELIS) is not psychotherapy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, it takes at heart the core of what is common to psychotherapy in general. More precisely, it is bent on subconceptual processing\/communication and Compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I see it as mental hygiene. This is important for people in sickness as well as in health. [see: “Lisa = Mental Hygiene<\/a>“]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Common to psychotherapies, forever<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [see: \u201cNon-Specific Factors of Therapy<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within this commonality, the AURELIS choice principally goes to empathy. [see: \u201cEmpathy vs. Placebo<\/a>\u201d] From this, the subconceptual arrow points to Compassion. [see: \u201cOnly Compassion Works<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last link also contains a bold view. Even if taken to the extreme, there is still a place for psychotherapeutic methodologies in that any of these may enhance the possibility to bring empathy\/Compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, unification in four steps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please make sure to see this in the light of [see: \u201cHow to Unify Ideologies<\/a>\u201d] The following is just a try-out of what this could mean in this specific case, in the most abstract way. Ideally, this is a gentle slope towards the future:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m not pretending Lisa can or will surely accomplish this<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n and if so, that Lisa would be the best way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Lisa can lead to some positive influence on the field, that would be super. In view of the huge psychological and psycho-somatic need, any possible positive step needs to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n
