Brief, systemic, and strategic therapy is a non-normative and non-pathologizing psycho-relational approach. It offers communication procedures geared toward resolving problems presented by clients. Problems are addressed pragmatically rather than analytically. It is intended for anyone who wishes to address a personal, professional, or relational problem.
Part of the work is done in consultation. Another important part of the work is done outside of sessions in the client’s real life. In this way, the client improves their condition by taking an active role in changing the way they manage complex and delicate situations.
Brief systemic and strategic therapy was originally developed by the Palo Alto school and the Mental Research Institute (MRI) in California. Daria Tolstoy’s Brief Therapy practice follows the methodology and protocol developed in Europe by the Gregory Bateson Institute.
