Czechs appreciate learning from others, BUTdo not like „the only one“ approach and ideology

• the Czech Republic is one of the most secularized nations in the world ‐ 40% of the Czech population identifies itself as agnostic or church‐less• „If you are in the middle … integration is a decent way to exist“

• It combines individual, group and familytherapy and it encompasses the community and follow‐up care as well

„Philosophy“ of integrative training in Skala Institute:1. Difference between „pure system“ and „integrative“

• Every psychotherapeutic school is a system, integrating some theoretical and philosophical „starting points“‐ on which level have they integrated what? Differentiation between „pure“ and integrative is just line of sight. 

• Probably, psychotherapists after 50 years will not differentiate between „Pure“ and „Integrative“ psychotherapeutic schools – but they will work with some common or most functional and effective factors of today.

2. It does not match with reality, that we can integrate just what we know the best• We should not see creating integrative perspective as a process which should take place after gathering enough data. I observe my grandchildren how they handle reality and virtual data on internet – their process of differentiation and integrating goes always together at the same time. We have enough reasons to learn from the psychotherapeutic schools the most functional processes without time‐killing learning the rest.

• Process of integrating and differentiating is a lifelong process and psychotherapy can be seen as „never ending story“ , mirroring our pictures about our psychic world.

3. 20 years of natural Czech experiment with providing training in eclectic psychotherapy proves enough, that you do not need to begin just with „pure school“.• With very small access to data source, we can relish Comenius´ approach as „one after another“, „from simple to complicated“, but psychotherapy is not at this point. There are many sources of information and we need a kind of a global map now, without loosing oneself in blind alleys. 

• We should give students our „good enough“ knowledge and experience to submit to discussion our global psychotherapeutic map and cooperate with them on clearing the picture.

4. Our aim is to offer students good enough structure with relating factors and teach them competencies we know as good ones for our professions.• If we give them global picture with clear several structures• functional and intervention levels, • and phases of development, change and treatment –

it might help them to orient themselves with less anxiety. • We work with the basic psychotherapeutic models and techniques and give students some knowledge, but also a space to think and discuss, where concrete direction can go and what outcomes they can expect.

5. Integrative approach gives students information about where they are on certain spots on the „map of psychotherapy“ and possibility to discuss, what they should learn and what they can rely on.• Some people choose their psychotherapeutic school without knowing how it goes together with their personality. If they have an opportunity to deal with the whole picture, they are more aware of their own development, in which direction to go nexttime. 

• They go for specialization with the better knowledge of the other possibilities. Betterselection make them more effective for their patients.

6. We need to be creative and free for original, flexible interventions and be prepared to name the intervention so the others can refine it.
