From Wednesday, June 30 to Sunday, July 4, 2010 was held in Rome on World Congress Empowerment: The politics of the helping relationship - The politics of the helping relationship, organized by the Person Centered Approach, ACP-Italy and the World Association for Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapy and Counselling (WAPCEPC). The psychologist and professional Alberto Zucconi, president of the Person Centered Approach (IACP) and chairman of the conference, we asked a few questions.
What were the main contributions to the conference?
About 650 professionals from 35 nations of the world have a growing body of research and experience in the field of relationships that help further confirm the hypothesis formulated by Carl Rogers, the founder of ' Person-Centred Approach, the noted American psychologist who created the eponymous institute in Italy.
He he first developed his approach in the field of psychotherapy and then extend it to all other reports of help: counseling, social support, doctor / patient relationship, education, human resource management, and so on. Rogers was the first to formulate a scientific approach to the promotion of change based on health and development of innate human potential through the quality of the relationship between professional and user empowerment and effective action. Waging a successful battle of liberation, which has benefited both users and professionals and democratized the world of helping relationships, Rogers has earned the title of revolutionary silent.
E 'scientifically proven that there should be passivated users because this involves risk of iatrogenic thereby establishing a learned helplessness. In other words, a trader needs to wonder if sometimes they do not risk, even unknowingly, to become part of the problem rather than the solution. It 's always more evident that a good interpersonal relationship, a real working alliance between professional and user is part of the "cure." The research presented at the Congress relate in particular to the professionals belonging to a so-called reports of help: doctors, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, teachers, and so on. These professionals are more effective if they accept the people who rely on them with deep respect and empathic understanding, and promote the development of the resources of their people (empowerment).
This allows both, in a climate of mutual trust to achieve shared goals better. Treating people humanely is a must for a professional, is not only good science but good heart, a winning solution for all of society: the scientific evidence shows that a good user-practitioner relationship can get better results, save unnecessary suffering and reduce waste of public and private money. To become more effective the worlds of medicine, psychology, school, work should broaden their perspective, gain new tools to concentrate on people and help develop their potential. This is not a problem of funds, but of how priorities are set. Focusing on people - a major natural resource for a nation-has a positive relationship for money.
searches, including those from neuroscience shows that our ability to concentrate on people are innate, but often many of us they are weakened, for the type of training received and more, these shortcomings can be addressed through specific training programs that facilitate the development of effective relationships. The ability to have good interpersonal relationships characterized by mutual respect and understanding also characterize effective couples, parents effective, efficient work groups. Particularly appreciated the assistance of the famous World Congress Barrett Lennard, honorary president of the IACP, author of the homonymous scale that measures the quality of professional-client relationship, which is used in more than a thousand field research. Very well acclaimed Les Greenberg, Robert Elliott and Jeanne Watson, members of the scientific committee of international research on the effectiveness of training of person-centered psychotherapist.
speakers included Italians particularly appreciated those Adolfo Arcangeli, past-president of Diabetes, the IACP and Stefano Fratini, who presented research on the positive effects that the group meeting on Rogers young diabetics in Prato (Florence). Much also followed the panel discussion on the person-centered medicine with Marina Maggini Health Institute, Mario Falcone, President Medical Association Province of Rome, Aldo Maldonado, a professor at the University of Rome and soul of therapeutic education in Italy and Gianni Sulprizio (IACP), or Presentation by Hon. Domenico Naccari, Advisor to the City of Rome, Tilde Minasi, Councillor for Social Policies of Reggio Calabria and Dominella Quagliata (IACP) on the very encouraging results of the counseling center, that the IACP has created with the Municipality of Reggio and we think we also realize capital.
How policies are applied in Italy to help the report relating to the promotion and development of human resources?
All professionals use the power to promote change of their users. The risk of reification is evident, when there is an indiscriminate and irresponsible use of power. The methods of use of the power and breadth of the power differential between professionals and users derive from the view of human nature, a characteristic of each paradigm and used to define and manage the setting and the specific support relationship. Each approach promotes higher or lower levels of empowerment of users: This is implies an ethical responsibility than on the moral and dall'autoconsapevolezza requires constant monitoring to avoid abuses of power and iatrogenic effects.
E 'need to promote greater awareness of the social construction of professional because even if a basic concept of the sociology of knowledge is that reality is socially constructed and therefore so are the scientific institutions and training of professionals, unfortunately we are not in Italy or not you want to be sufficiently aware that professionals are socially constructed and that the implicit models of power management are offered in undergraduate courses and specialization. This reality is socially constructed through relational models available: the manner of how it relates to the university professors, researchers and students and faculty as we report and use the power with the student body. This we see it out in our postgraduate studies in psychotherapy attended by graduates in psychology and medicine interns are not generally aware of their use of power against you and what impact are the modalities used to get close to another human being, especially in If you have recourse to the professional because it is going through a difficult time.
Once again I emphasize that is fundamental for many years and is part of the manifesto even the World Health Organization, the famous Ottawa Charter, which back in 1986 called for governments and citizens "The promotion health is the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and to improve ... health promotion is not a responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond the life styles and points to the well-being ... People can not achieve their fullest health potential unless they are able to control those factors that determine their health "..." ... Health is not mere absence of disease but the development of human potential ... ".
In a defined period of limited availability of financial resources, as set-in his view a policy- implementation of human resources, which still needs to support the updating and training?
It 's true that we are going through a difficult period for the economy, but because of this investment in human capital is today more necessary. Unfortunately for widespread ignorance in times of crisis, the typical behavior of public and private companies is to cut investment in training and development of human resources. This is a wrong policy and blind: all experts agree in Organizational Development and emphasize the research confirms that the most far-sighted to do in times of crisis is in upgrade for targeted investments in people and sull''innovazione, since these investments generate added value.
Moreover, this principle has always been adopted by people with common sense: it is careful maintenance to the property purchased to prevent their deterioration. Never forget that the most valuable resource for an organization, a community and a nation is people: the real capital is human capital. This also applies to postgraduate courses in psychotherapy and so on. Today, a professional must be well aware that profess to be a professional means. Profess. The fundamental value for a professional is to always work in science and consciousness to promote the interests of users, this paradigm requires the application of bio-psycho-social and person-centered: the knowledge, know-how and ability to be able to date and to accommodate each other with respect and offer a safe place to recover strength, develop their potential and establish a better relationship with oneself, others and the world.
to clarify that I am not talking about utopias but to professionals who have a good compass to navigate in this era full of changes will make a concrete example: We are currently developing a project that is focused on promoting self-efficacy and self entrepreneurship of unemployed long-term care. For some time the forms of welfare assistance have proved disastrous from many points of view: there are no funds to support them, but above all we realized that while not wanting to help people who have passivated they really needed, but to survive and not lose Self-Respect: The practical need is to become more effective in managing their lives: better develop the ability to roll up our sleeves and deal with emergencies. Looking policies aimed at maximizing human capital and political empowerment and accountability are best placed to achieve those objectives.
