What is systemic theory?
We think, feel, and behave differently depending on the individual, group, or environment we are in. This occurs sometimes consciously, but mostly unconsciously. Systemic theory bases its definition precisely on this phenomenon.
My systemic work therefore focuses particularly on social systems and their elements, influences, and chains of effect.
The attributes and variables of a social system that become visible through this approach can thus be actively influenced. For my clients, this fosters social effectiveness and individual agency within their teams.
“The systems approach is geared towards recognizing interconnections and complex cause-and-effect relationships, making it particularly suitable for grasping intricate processes within organizations. It counteracts inappropriate, isolated perspectives and leads to the discovery of previously unknown relationships.”
(Ulrich 1970, p. 135f., cited in König/Volmer, 2018 p. 34)
What is Transactional Analysis?
In Transactional Analysis (TA), every form of communication – whether verbal or nonverbal – is understood as a transaction. This includes both interactions with others and one's own internal dialogue.
The models and concepts of TA allow for the analysis and evaluation of these transactions in terms of their coherence and effectiveness – in both private and professional contexts.
Individuals who become aware of their communication in this manner develop autonomy in speech and behavior. This is the objective of Transactional Analysis.
“Transactional Analysis is a theory of human personality and a form of psychotherapy that aims to foster both the development and transformation of an individual's personality.”
