Was ist Focusing-Therapie?

Abstract

What is Focusing Therapy? Focusing Therapy is described as a complete psychotherapeutic procedure within the person-centered approach and as a method which is also open to further extension. Its function as a meta-model and a meta-practice with integrating force is pointed out. Some of its essential aspects are described in more detail: the significance of the “I”, but also of inter- and intrapersonal relationships and of structure-bound processes. It is an attempt to deal with the one-sidedness in the practice of focusing-oriented psychotherapists on the one hand and traditional prejudices among client-centered psychotherapists on the other.
