The brief therapy of the School of Palo Alto: towards a medicine without added suffering?
Among non-drug therapies, brief therapy according to the Palo Alto school can support caregivers, patients and families by relieving pain and leading everyone to take responsibility. If we cannot change the disease, we can modify the relationship that the patient maintains with his pain and the perception he has of it, by focusing on the context and the people present when it appears. It is thus possible to help people with pain by contributing to “medicine without added suffering”. This is the approach proposed by Nathalie Goujon, a psycho-practitioner trained since 2003 in brief and strategic therapy according to the Palo Alto school, at the Gregory Bateson Institute in Liège. It often consists of proposing a 180° turn, that is to say the opposite of the actions carried out until now to solve the problem and reduce suffering.

Dear Pains: Brief Therapy for Chronic Pain Relief
Relieve chronic pain thanks to brief therapy, according to the school of Palo Alto: here is a new method that allows sufferers to regain control over pain! A demonstration of the solutions offered by this approach through clinical cases.
The principle ? Brief and strategic therapy according to the Palo Alto school often consists of proposing a 180° turn, that is to say the opposite of the actions carried out until now to solve the problem and relieve pain. Surprising but effective, as the clinical cases presented by Nathalie will show, from her professional practice and presented in her latest book Dear Pain: Brief Therapy to Relieve Chronic Pain” (Solar Editions, 2022).
Nathalie Goujon trained, from 2003, in brief and strategic therapy according to the school of Palo Alto, at the Gregory Bateson Institute in Liège (representative for Europe of the MRI ). It works in close collaboration with representatives of medicine (general practitioners, algologists, paediatricians, etc.) and psychiatry in Lyon or Paris, in order to propose innovative solutions thanks to the Palo Alto model. Therapist, trainer, supervisor and author of Medicine Without Added Suffering (2017), she regularly writes articles illustrating her clinical practice. In 2021, she created the IFR palo alto (https://ifr-therapie-breve.fr/) to promote this therapeutic approach.
