The art of systemic questions

The art of systemic questions

This chapter is devoted to the art of questions, that is, to the way the therapist crafts a space where the relationship can be thought differently. With Amour Monstre, questions are not there to « extract » a truth or to settle a conflict, but to transform the conversation: moving from blame to loop, from certainty to nuance, from a frozen account to a story that can move.

You will find a simple structure (families of questions) and very concrete know-how: translating a complaint into a relational question, opening differences of viewpoint without blame, and supporting the emergence of a new narrative. The goal is to learn to question precisely enough to be useful, and openly enough to leave people the possibility of co-constructing meaning and choices.
