PAEZ-CALA, Martha Luz. Systemic Intervention in Families: From Linearity to Circularity. CS [online]. 2019, n.28, pp.207-227. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i28.2629.

This is an applied research carried out in a formative context of systemic orientation in postgraduate studies. The objective was to identify some factors that favor the transition from a linear thinking to a circular one characteristic of the systemic task, which operates through feedback loops to enhance change, in therapists and consultants, both teachers and students in training. Methodology: It was carried out through focus groups and in-depth interviews in reflective conversational settings. Participants: three lecturers of theoretical-practical seminars and seven students of the Specialization in Psychotherapy and Systemic Consultancy of the University of Manizales. Results: Three novelties were identified in the experiences of systemically oriented psychologists: linear and circular thinkings do not appear isolated or exclusive, they can be transposed from one to another. This constitutes an adventure facilitated by the need to articulate human dilemmas in a context of relational responsibility, which implies the self-reference of the intervener. Participants agree on basic factors and relieve the mainstreaming from the cognitive, emotional, and pragmatic sphere in this transit, also, highlight an innovative movement at the time of immersing in logics of circular nature.
