Description
There is a cultural symbolism and an organised socio-emotional framework within which a person finds meaning in their existence. Third-order clinical work deliberately expands the conversation with clients about the impact of other systems of society on their discomfort, such as group membership, culture, economy, race, social class, work, etc. This is explored particularly the injustice and socio-cultural symbolism associated with the breakdown of solidarity dialogue, patterns of violence and therefore psychopathology.
Third-order change occurs when there is a critical shift in the way individuals understand and relate to socio-cultural-emotional systems as part of the reality of which they are a part, rather than as something beyond their reach or power. This book explores concepts including indignant love, solidarity, self-critical honesty and the family of choice. The clinical aim is to enable individuals, families, and their community to return to dialogue in solidarity. This book is a valuable resource for students of psychology, clinical psychology, psychotherapists, counsellors and all professionals involved in community work and health.
