In accordance with the SG’s framework curriculum dated April 16, 2015, the content of the continuing education program includes:

• Methods/Approaches: historical foundations; constructivism, constructionism, systems theories, first- and second-order cybernetics; solution-focused approach; resource orientation; pattern recognition, context analysis, and contextual sensitivity; clarification of the mandate and contracting; process orientation, systemic conversation techniques/questioning techniques, intervention options; use of creative and expressive methods; analysis and dynamics of teams, institutions, and organizations; dealing with guiding principles, myths, and taboos; Crisis management; complex (helper) systems in intra- and inter-institutional contexts; resonance phenomena, verbal and nonverbal coupling in systems; self-reflection relevant to the professional field; development of a systemic attitude.

• Self-awareness: Content includes the transfer of methodically guided therapeutic techniques into one’s own style of practice, the integration of fundamental therapeutic attitudes into one’s professional identity, and reflection on professional development.

• Supervision: This serves to facilitate the practical application of the knowledge acquired. Supervision takes the form of live supervision through video analysis and counseling simulations—both in groups and individually—and occurs within the framework of the seminar.
  
  
• Intervision and Independent Work: Participants meet
  between seminars for reflection, peer consultation, and deepening of seminar content in regional intervision groups. This self-organized work is documented with written minutes.
