Assumptions of Neosystemic for Therapy and Supervision
Complexity and Infinite Influence
Human experience unfolds within multilayered systems of influence. Individuals are continuously shaped by evolving relationships, cultural narratives, social structures, and historical forces. Change in any part of the system ripples outward, demanding a contextual, relational, and dynamic therapeutic stance. Complexity is not a barrier—it is the natural condition of human life.
Ever-Changing Clients and Systems
People, families, cultures, and therapists themselves are in constant transformation. Therapy and supervision are living processes of co-evolution, where adaptability, presence, and attunement—not rigidity—become the foundation for meaningful engagement and healing.
Relational Co-Creation
Transformation is co-created through genuine, ethically intentional relationships. Change arises not from imposed techniques but through mutual recognition, shared meaning-making, and continuous renegotiation of trust and power. The therapist’s relational presence is a central instrument of change.
Cultural Humility and Contextual Openness
Culture is dynamic, relational, and continuously shaped by context. Practitioners are called to embody cultural humility—not mastery—through openness, inquiry, and reflexivity. Therapy honors the living realities of clients’ cultural ecosystems, embracing complexity and co-creating meaning beyond static identities.
Embracing Unity in Diversity
Effective therapy transcends rigid models by focusing on shared relational processes that support change across diverse systems. Grounded in systemic wisdom and Common Factors theory, the Neosystemic framework holds diversity as an invitation to deepen relational competence, integrating the universal and the particular without losing coherence.
