The `'carousel of orders'' - An instrument for self-supervision in systemic therapy and systemic counseling

Abstract

In systemic therapy it is essential to clarify the complex network of hidden messages and tasks. The present paper describes an instrument for this purpose in supervisory practice: the `'order carousel''. This instrument can be used in a supervision group as well as by an individual therapist if he/she wants to analyze a given order situation easily and quickly. The method is described and theoretically discussed under the perspective of the `'person-centered systems theory''.
