That treats a person?

That treats a person? medicine or the environment in which they are given? Once one of the world's greatest psychotherapist Milton Erickson sent a patient who has just been released from prison. They talked for over an hour, after which the man stood up and said: "You know, Dr. Erickson, everything you just said, zasun'te myself ..." And he left. After some time he was again sent to Erickson. They talked for a long time again, and again the patient repeated the same as when they first met. But life is playing with people, and some time later this man, in despair after he was expelled from several places of work, once again came to Erickson and asked him to take it for what Erickson said: "All I wanted to say I've stuck you know where. But if you want, you can stay with me in the backyard. If it is cold, Mrs. Erickson will make you a blanket if it will rain - you could hide under the canopy.

 Water at the tap. Once a day, Mrs. Erickson will make you a bank of stewed beans with meat. And if you think that, to prevent escape, I will take away from your shoes, then you have to beg me for a long time, so I did it. " This man lived with Erickson about a week. He watched as the family lives of the people he talked to Erickson about the eldest daughter of the prison order, and playing with his younger children.Five days later he went to Erickson and asked: "Can I go to town?" "I do not hold" - he received a reply. By the evening he came back and asked for a few days - think about it. Two days later he came to Erickson, and said that during those two days he was deciding what to do next. During his last trip to the city, he found work in two places: a well-paid, but temporary, the second constant, but slightly worse paid. "I have an old Ford, - said the tramp .- I'm selling it, and some money to be able to live up to the first pay day."

This man came to Erickson and after talking about his successes. First, that he stopped drinking and began attending Alcoholics Anonymous community, and later - that he married and soon to be promoted. After this incident, Erickson often repeated that he did not know what psychotherapy. Sometimes it's "just sitting in the back yard." What made the "backyard" a place where people could from the bandit and drunkards become a good global citizen? What is the significance of the situation in which he lives and treated the patient? The question, indeed, crucial, especially for chronic disease.

All roads lead to Rome

Influence the situation may be more or less, but hardly anyone will be completely deny the importance of an atmosphere in which there is treatment. Often, therapists say that even in patients with severe exacerbation of hypertension or peptic ulcer condition rapidly improved in certain circumstances, actually the situation is exactlythat treats the person. What is the essence of the therapeutic milieu? To this end, the answer to this question we analyze: where, except hospitals are improving the health of the chronically ill? The literature often describe the cases of healing in the monasteries. Sometimes talk about the miraculous healing in the process of doing a great sport. To carry out health programs recommended stay in private health centers, and even in sea cruises.

There are indoor and outdoor therapeutic groups, freaky community. Today began to spread, and therapeutic community patients in which chronic patients staying long enough. What unites all these different organization structures? · Concentration of conscious activity on the solution of the problem.

· Reduced access information that could interfere with thinking about the problem.

· Union of all participants in the common goal.

• Possibility of using the experience of people advanced in addressing this issue.

· One of the rules of life for all stakeholders.

All of these components and give an answer to a question about the essence of the therapeutic situation.

So, we shall understand in order.

The issue of concentration on a single goal is the cornerstone technique. For those who are in doubt, tell another case of medical practice. One herbalist (folk healer who heals with herbs), has received an electrical burn. Lesion was very extensive and deep. Third-degree burns gravity took up to 40% of the body. Such injuries are incompatible with life, but in six months on the skin of the patient, who came to check inspection, there was no scar. Those who at least once seriously burned, understand this fantastic situation. However, the story of his wife on those six months all became clear.

At stake recovery was delivered everything is subject to all of life: a strictly regular intervals he took bath, drank potions, made a special gymnastics. There was no reason that would prevent him to perform a particular procedure. He could get up in the middle of a conversation with a friend and go take a bath or refuse to communicate with his wife, because you have to do exercises. In general, all this man's life was dedicated to one purpose - to recuperate. Similarly, organized, and life in the rehabilitation department, where almost all the time people busy with their main problem - mastering the skills of independent living.

Do not touch me Down and Out, while sitting quietly

Sense of protection from the flow of information is to provide peace of the patient.Nothing should distract from its primary goal. Often the creation of conditions for compliance with this paragraph requires the staff a lot of strength. Patients are relatively easy to get used to fulfill all the requirements of the regime, but the family is constantly violate it. One day the father of one of our patients had promised her on day of discharge to bring a bottle. You understand how this could adversely affect treatment outcomes. In addition, the initial period of rejection of drugs the patient is very vulnerable and his mind is extremely unstable. He should not know that someone of his friends have been jailed and his girlfriend walking with others.Thanks to the sharp curtailment of incoming data starts to recover human psyche is becoming more resilient and accustomed to endure little trouble in life, in other words, tempers, is preparing to stress, waiting for his every person outside the clinic.
