- Title
A SCRIPT-CHANGING MODEL OF THERAPY.
- Authors
Laub, Brunt; Keini, Noga Levine
- Abstract
A script-changing model of therapy is a focused, integrative approach to releasing the patient from a problematic repetitive pattern of behavior. This model has five stages. In the first stage the patient's "role" (used here to mean the unique position of a person who is behaving according to a certain script) is identified and named. In the second stage a positive redefinition of the role is offered, emphasizing its significance in the nuclear family system, but also highlighting its inadequacy. The third stage creates alienation from the role and interferes with its automatic performance. In the fourth stage new scenarios are built outside the scope of the role using such techniques as guided imagery and role playing. Stage five, the conservation stage, consists of limiting the role to use in specific situations.
