      dr fr Summary

      Redundant Solution Attempts (RAS) Theory is described from its origins to the present day. Grounded in cybernetics and introduced at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California, the fundamental principle of RAS is that repetition of an unsuccessful solution can actually serve to perpetuate and further entrench a problem. A true reducer of complexity, a definition of RAS is presented that appreciates the biopsychosocial dimensions of diagnosis and intervention. Data is also presented from SYPRENE, a systemic therapy practice research network that documents the use of strategic interventions to terminate RAS.

      Key words

      Attempts at redundant solutions, mechanisms of change, strategic-systemic therapy, cybernetics, Mental Research Institute

      Key points:

      1. The concept of Redundant Solution Attempts (RAS) originated at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California.
      2 .
      The main tenet of RAS, grounded in systems thinking, is that repetition of an unsuccessful attempt to solve a problem can actually serve to perpetuate and reinforce the problem. 3. The main objective of the therapist is therefore to interrupt the repetitions of the RAS.
      4. RAS are often based on (il)logics of avoidance or false control - or a combination of these.
      5. Evidence is presented from SYPRENE, an international systemic therapy practice research network, supporting the therapeutic efficacy of RAS termination in problem solving.
