Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Something about my method of Interventional Systemic-Cultural Psychotherapy, which I briefly call Paulina Kubś’s IPSK Method Psychotherapy, or Paulina Kubś’s IPSK Method.
My many years of experience in working with trauma and patients in crisis, with a tendency to greater or lesser decompensation, mechanisms based on dissociation, derealization or splitting, as well as my interest in evolutionary psychology, physiological mechanisms and the main directions in psychology and psychotherapy (psychoanalysis, Jungian analysis, understanding hypnosis, humanistic psychology, including existential psychology, positive, transpersonal, cultural psychology, including psychology of religion and spirituality), resulted in the creation of a method that is by its nature interventional and tailored to the patient’s capabilities (in terms of frequency and duration).
It begins more intensively if it is twice a week, or once a week for a period of 3-6 months. Sometimes this time is quite sufficient for many patients to be able to reduce the frequency of sessions towards accompanying psychotherapy, i.e. with a frequency of 2 times a month.
After a certain period of this process, you can schedule less frequent meetings, once a month, once every two months, once a quarter, even once every six months, as long as there is a need. Depending on the individual psychotherapeutic process and the patient’s needs, guidelines tailored individually to the individual are agreed so that they learn to recognize the crisis and then avoid it, increasing their survival strategies (creating a base).
The coping strategies (in nature — survival) are based on a paradox. It happens that personality disorders that oscillate around rigid defense mechanisms do not arise without a cause. To a certain extent and up to a certain point, they can also help. That is why we are not looking for pathologies, but for the possibility of coping, creating a base in developed consciousness, based on respect for oneself and others, in action and communication, and increasing responsibility for oneself and for the social system in which one functions (health-promoting norms). During the work with Paulina Kubś’s IPSK Method, the patient learns how to avoid recreating the patterns of their disorder, i.e. suffering. But first, he must get to know and understand himself well.
When the frequency of sessions is reduced, the guidelines for coping with the crisis are already named or described, building a comfort zone for the patient to be internalized by him, so that external factors do not cause disruption or suffering and he can carry out his tasks.
The patient learns to avoid costs in the form of emotions, energy, crisis, financial losses, in order to be able to perform other tasks more and more boldly. They can lead him to realize his own intentions or those imposed by the system in which he lives (those to which he agrees).
Systemically, the symptom has specific functions, i.e. the disorder as well. The positive connotation is very important here, and Paulina Kubś’s IPSK Method focuses mainly on individual work with an adult patient.
I consider myself a psychotherapist who thinks mainly systemically, supplementing my knowledge of other methods through supervision or various types of shorter trainings. At the same time, I completed a comprehensive training in Psychotherapy accredited by the Polish Psychological Association.
The aim of the method is to shorten the process of psychotherapy, which requires many patients for many patients, to a maximum of two, then with less frequency. Of course, with the IPSK method, you can also work with patients for longer, as they individually need. However, it is important to establish this at the beginning, because the IPSK Method can be perceived as containing pressure on recovery.
The assumptions of the Method also include the fact that the patient tells the truth about himself, even if he is lying. That is, we work exactly with what is said. Therefore, it is important to accept the sincerity and authenticity of the patient so as not to increase the risk of self-destruction. If the patient feels the need to lie (for various reasons, not only resulting from his pathology), it is worth ending psychotherapy with this method or reducing its intensity.
The aim of the IPSK Method is to create a life base for a person who has suffered deep traumas, so that they can develop in every possible level of life, by increasing awareness of boundaries and the need to set boundaries.
