 Hello, this is Bob Cook from the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy, short PowerPoint on Integrative Psychotherapy Treatment Planning. First phase. First phase includes the starting point, obviously, and that's very important in terms of outlining what the problem is for the client. Often they come to psychotherapy not knowing what the issues are, however, after more phenomenological inquiry, it's important to at least get some sort of motivation while they're there and what they've come with and what their discomfort is. Freud says people really only change when their discomfort is at their highest. So it's helping the person identify the problem, look at what it is and exploring that. And at that particular time, or at this particular stage, from Integrative Psychotherapy, you would do a lot of what is called phenomenological inquiry that would be a concentration on attunement and involvement. And I would suggest you also look out for the contact interruptions internally and externally, because it will give a sign for the problems at an ego-state level and burden mine for future planning. Second phase is helping them specifically make connections between the past and present. That's easier said than done. Often they present from an integrated, well, disintegrated process. So you're helping them make sense of their cut-off parts, their lack of contact, helping them see or understand the contamination problems from an ego-state level, and helping them realize what their script is and how the script is enacted in the present. And you could go farther and look at how the script is enacted in the relationship in the room between the two of you. And this is a pretty long process in some ways, because in this particular phase, it's the same throughout the whole psychotherapy process, but in this particular phase there's a lot of resistance to becoming aware of what their script is and how the script is actually stopping them getting what they want today. So it's a vital stage, but be prepared for quite a lot of resistance, quite a lot of defenses, quite a lot of games, quite a lot of rackets. And perhaps more than anything else, the transference issues really start emerging at this particular stage. Third phase are now moving into helping the person really become aware of their script. And more importantly now, that they have new choices today. They can make new decisions. They don't have to stay wedded to their script. They don't have to stay wedded to the old way of being. They can actually change their script, put in a new plan on the road. And finally, fourth, full integration with self, ownership of cut-off parts of the self, full contact until next Sunday, self-full present.
