What is Systemic Human Exploration?
Systemic Human Exploration draws on and synthesises several theories and methods from humanities and the sciences, including but not limited to Psychoanalysis, Group Analysis, Jungian Analysis, Open Systems Theory, Field Theory, Biology, Physics, Spirituality, Somatic Experiencing and Social Dreaming.
By using jargon-free language with creative and flexible processes, daunting issues are made accessible and inviting to engage with.

From Locations of Disturbance to Locations of Discovery
Read More”Attention in the past has been focussed on illness as a function of the individual personality, but all illness ('mental' and 'physical') and every disturbance involves social relationships. Very often the earliest signs of change for better or worse evince themselves in interaction with others, and in this field we also find the best indication of therapeutic change

About Locations of Disturbance
The term Locations of Disturbance refers to places where disturbances—whether physical or psychological—become noticeable. In group analysis or psychotherapy, it specifically points to psychological disturbances. S.H. Foulkes, the founder of Group Analysis, suggested that while disturbances often originate in an individual’s early life, they also exist within a broader multi-personal network. This idea, which locates disturbances between people rather than solely within one person, was groundbreaking.
It underscored the complexity of psychological issues, suggesting that to truly understand a disturbance, we must consider not only the individual but also their broader environment.
The concept of Locations of Disturbance invites us to consider how factors such as biology, childhood experiences, and the broader social environment all contribute to understanding disturbances and transforming them into opportunities for growth and discovery.
