For Psychologists
Clinical perspectives on how each value presents in therapeutic settings.
Filter by value
Community
Narrative Therapy
Helps the client identify and author their own story as distinct from the community narrative, without requiring them to reject the community. The collaborative, non-hierarchical stance aligns with their relational values.
Community
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
The concept of an internal system resonates with the client's communal orientation while directing attention inward. It provides a framework for honoring different parts of the self, including the parts that want to individuate, without requiring conflict.
Community
Group Therapy
Paradoxically, a therapeutic group can serve as a laboratory for practicing individuation within community. The client can experiment with expressing dissent, setting individual boundaries, and tolerating being different while remaining included.
