The systemic and strategic approach

It is based on an intervention method developed by the School of Palo Alto and developed by its current research centers. Its specificity and originality are:

• to know how to apprehend the complexity of human relationships and bring a biopsychosocial vision to the psychological and relational problems that develop in ever more volatile, unpredictable, complex and ambiguous contexts (VUCA in English). 

• to be strategic in terms of relational regulation by relying on 2 essential techniques which are problem solving and strategic communication, which make it possible to reduce the complexity of a relational situation without distorting it and to obtain effective operational effects and sustainability in resource development and problem solving.

The Palo Alto systemic and strategic model is an approach focused on resolving psychological and relational problems oriented to the present in all types of contexts. it is particularly effective in the areas of education and makes it possible to identify and stop the dysfunctional processes which often take place between the child and his environment (at school and/or at home), maintain or aggravate a situation that is often paralyzed within a rigid framework. It makes it possible to deal with problems such as school bullying, difficult situations with atypical children, to avoid dropping out of school and the onset of psychological disorders in the child but also in the accompanying person, who, faced with their inability to act, can lose confidence and sink into depression or burnout

Presentation PARIS 8 University

Paris 8 University is a central teaching and research center in Île-de-France in the field of humanities which has always had the main objective of bringing students to a better understanding of the contemporary world while providing them with the tools to integrate sustainably into society. the innovative nature of the learning it offers finds its origins in its openness to areas hitherto little present in French universities. Paris 8 University also stands out for its desire to maintain a very strong link between research and teaching , both at the national and international level, by relying, among other things, on new teaching methods. It is in this perspective that a partnership between Lact and Paris 8 University was set up with the aim of promoting the strategic systemic approach model.

Presentation of LACT

The LACT intervention, research and training center offers long and short training courses, all oriented towards mastery and expertise in the implementation of strategic systemic intervention in different sectors of society (helping relationship, care, education, legal, etc.)

Relationship is at the heart of education. At a time when the education system is being tested by the evolution of the fault lines which divide our society and its functioning, teachers, educators, carers and parents are sometimes helpless in the face of the multiplication of difficult situations faced with children or adolescents suffering and facing a profound loss of orientation, sometimes with violent behavior and significant learning difficulties. What posture should you adopt in these blocking situations? How to deal with harassment? How to support disability and other atypicalities? How can we support the teaching process and best support the child? How to include those around you in the change process?

This training allows you to acquire the tools of the systemic and strategic approach which will allow the teacher or any support person to put the relationship at the heart of their support. A theoretical part on the fundamentals of the approach will be followed by practical sessions on specific teaching issues such as school bullying and difficult situations. Certain disorders will be discussed such as attention disorders, “DYS” and “hyper”, as well as disorders affecting teachers, depression, burnout, loss of self-confidence, etc. The course is validated by a practical internship and collective and individual supervision. It will allow participants to discover the systemic and strategic approach, to identify dysfunctional relational processes and to block them to put the relationship at the heart of teaching.  

The “Strategic systemic approach to education” Diploma is made up of 11 modules: 103 hours of training + 100 hours of continuous assessment, individual and subgroup work (pair work, preparation of supervision, case studies, multiple choice questions and answers to continuous assessment, video capsules, etc.) + 147 hours of internship with final dissertation, i.e. a total of 96 hours 15 minutes of training and 147 hours of internship.
