[Static to sequential plan analysis].

The method of Plan Analysis helps for a better understanding of the interactional engagement of the client within the client-therapist relationship. In spite of this interactional conceptualization of the method, plan analysis produces only a statical diagnosis of interpersonal intentions and plans. In order to realize a dynamical analysis of the client-therapist relationship, the method has to be modified. The steps of this modification will be explained. The result is an idiographic, discovery oriented strategy, called "Sequential Plan Analysis" (SPA), which can be used to do single case analysis of psychotherapy processes. SPA produces sequential patterns of interactional plans (nominal data) as well as quantitative time series.

[With problem of applying modern systems theories in clinical practice].

In this paper the tension between "practice" and "theory" is reflected concerning modern system theories and psychosocial practice. Focusing the limits of predictability and manageability these theories contrast with practitioners need for easy-to-use advices for acting. Reframing the well-known dilemma of the discrepancy between theory and practice the usefulness of the difference between theory and practice is accentuated. Others reflected these topic in more fundamental or philosophical way (cf. Krohn & Küppers 1990; Schiepek 1991; Schiepek, Fricke & Kaimer 1992; Willke 1989). In a more "pragmatic turn" attention is drawn to some methods of orientation and intervention in complex systems. System game and system competence are new ways in training and evaluating the management of complex systems.

[Is systemic psychotherapy research possible?].

With the growing importance of systemic therapies the interest in quality evaluation, at the one hand, and in a deeper understanding of therapy processes, at the other, becomes more and more important. Therefore the question is raising how to do psychotherapy research for systemic therapies in an adequate manner. Some possibilities will be discussed. As we will see, the existing field of process research offers a lot of theoretical conceptualizations and methodological tools for the understanding of dynamical patterns in psychotherapy. An example for the single case microanalysis of client-therapist-interaction in a solution-oriented brief therapy illustrates one of several different ways in system-oriented psychotherapy research.

[Analysis of the activity and effectiveness of lay persons as therapists in a psychiatric rehabilitation project].

A wealth of research indicates equal or even superior psychotherapeutic effects of lay-persons in comparison to professional therapists. Detailed analysis of process and effects however is needed. Results of the first period (4 months) of a longer controlled psychiatric therapy and rehabilitation project are presented. One out of four groups was run by psychiatrically unexperienced lay therapists. Objective behavior and subjective experiences as well of therapists as of patients were assessed by means of continuous observation, rating- and attitude-scales, sociographical methods and interviews. Results confirm the therapeutic change-potential of lay-persons and give interesting findings on the therapeutic process itselves.

[Research in county and district psychiatric hospitals].

Scientific research in psychiatric county-hospitals could substantially contribute to the further development of the psychosocial practice. Although the hospitals in principle are open to scientific activities, a genuin integration of research into these institutiones has not yet come about. The study then goes on to discuss perspectives for research, methodological issues and advances organizational proposals regarding the overcoming of these obstacles.
