[The theoretical basis of "process-oriented psychotherapy"]

Process-oriented psychotherapy /POP/ is an eclectic trend. It is based on Jungian psychology but is inspired also by some dynamic schools and oriental philosophy, in particular Taoism. The essence of the psychotherapeutic method is work with signals in the communication channels. By their reinforcement the personality attains contact with the secondary process behind the borderline of identity. In addition to psychopathological indications it uses somatic symptoms and diseases which are considered a purposeful message of the dream body.
