Training in the Strategic Resolutive Method
Identify the mechanisms that keep problems in place, foster change, and build effective strategic interventions.
In clinical work, support work, institutional settings or the helping relationship, some situations persist despite the efforts made. The actions taken are sometimes numerous, yet the problem remains stable, shifts or becomes rigid.
This training offers a strategic reading frame to analyse these maintenance logics, clarify the request, identify unproductive attempted solutions and design interventions adjusted to the singularity of the context.
It is aimed at professionals who want to strengthen the precision of their clinical, relational or institutional reasoning and to have tools that can be transferred directly into their practice.
Target skills
- Master the theoretical, epistemological and pragmatic foundations of the Strategic Resolutive Method.
- Identify the interactional processes that contribute to keeping a problem in place.
- Spot repetitive, unproductive or counter-productive attempted solutions.
- Turn a vague request into a clear, workable objective.
- Distinguish the request, the mandate, the expectations and the constraints of a situation.
- Build an intervention strategy consistent with the context and the stakes of the system concerned.
- Adjust one's professional stance in complex situations.
- Prevent iatrogenic effects, relational deadlocks and forms of exhaustion linked to the intervention.
Intended audience and prerequisites
This training is designed for professionals in care, the helping relationship, support work and institutional settings.
Yara Doumit Naufal
A systemic therapist, trainer and supervisor, Yara Doumit Naufal is specialised in the Strategic Resolutive Method.
She co-authored a reference book dedicated to this approach. Her teaching combines conceptual rigour, methodological clarity and hands-on application to complex professional situations.
A 5-day journey
The programme follows a progression from the foundations of change to the strategic conduct of intervention in complex contexts.
Thinking about change
- Defining change and its main conceptual landmarks
- Working on the premises of change
- Thinking qualitative discontinuity and complexity
- Distinguishing levels of change
- Identifying different forms of transformation
Understanding problems and how they persist
- Laying down the fundamental landmarks of the SRM
- Distinguishing model, method and strategy
- Understanding the role of information in change
- Formulating a problem in workable terms
- Spotting the first indicators of evolution
Entering the intervention
- Identifying the components of change
- Clarifying the client's place and the practitioner's place
- Analysing the request for treatment of the problem
- Conducting an initial survey of the situation
- Choosing the relevant system of intervention
Building an intervention strategy
- Understanding the dynamics of change
- Identifying the preconditions of the strategic process
- Structuring the strategic interview
- Defining the problem in solvable terms
- Developing a strategy and co-constructing change
Intervening in context and avoiding the traps
- Integrating complexity and context into the intervention
- Clarifying request, mandate, orientation and frame
- Working with teams, networks and the system's resources
- Anchoring change and thinking through the closure of the process
- Spotting collusion, chronicity, iatrogenics, exhaustion and ethical issues
Teaching methods
- Structured theoretical and methodological input
- Case studies and situation analyses
- Practical exercises and subgroup work
- Role-playing and simulations
- Clear, directly reusable teaching materials
Practicalities and assessment
- 35 hours of training over 5 days
- Schedule: communicated upon registration
- Lunch break: 1 hour
- Positioning questionnaire before entering the training

After the training
Participants who wish to can continue the work in a monthly supervision cycle.
- Consolidate what has been learned
- Refine the use of the method
- Work from real situations
- Support the integration of the tools into daily practice
