Positive Psychotherapy (PPT) is a humanistic psychodynamic psychotherapy developed by Nossrat Peseschkian in the 1970s and 1980s. As a conflict-centered and resource-oriented short-term psychotherapy, it is based on transcultural observations in more than 20 cultures. The method combines a humanistic conception, a psychodynamic understanding of disorders, and a culturally sensitive and systematic therapy process approach in five steps, in which tools of other methods can be integrated. The term “positive” is used as an expression of that which is available, the given, the actual. The positive connotation confronts the patient (and the therapist) with the function of the illness, to see it as capacity to react on a conflict. Based on a positive image of human beings, the humanistic concept of “capacity” runs throughout this method, such as viewing values and capacities as contents of actual, basic and inner psychodynamic conflicts and the key conflict. A feature of this method is that the concepts can easily be understood by all patients. |
