Rehabiltation
«Rehabilitation» means «recovery of affected capabilities». Our approach supposes not the synthesis of different methods of psychotherapy aimed to the total influence on the patient, but it relies on the objective laws of the process of patient’s transition to a healthy person, the technology of this process, its concrete contents.
For rehabilitation and resocialization, at first, it is important to add perception of life itself to the person as a fact of the joy of life as such. Formation of feeling «I live», in fact, is the primary axiom of life: «life is importance». Feelings and experience of life, the staying in this world, cultivation of these feelings and experiences in everyday life.
Secondly, adaptation to the sober state, as a natural state, given by nature, being the nature and essence of life. Concentrations on the state of sobriety, clarity of mind, perceptible impressions, their essence. Of importance is conscious staying in sobriety, fixation on it, visualizations of this emotional experience, process of realizing in geshtalt therapy.
Thirdly, recovery of ability to engender, generate feelings, especially of positive nature, because a patient used to expect occurrence of feelings, especially of positive nature, under the drug affect (alcohol or drugs). Trying to teach the patient the capability to exert influence on his own involuntary actions and ability to encourage himself, to calm, to show psychical stability, to bear depression, boredom, discomfort. To understand objective laws of person’s nature, wave-like nature of psychobiological processes, a necessity of their change in all spheres of life, mood and emotions included.
Fourthly, to enable enclosing the patient into the realm of real life, acquiring inner power from interaction with the surrounding reality and communication.
Fifthly, recovery of ability to feel the objective reality, instinct of self-preservation, value to be in reality, because life of patients by principle «here and now» relying on inner experience, but not on the external situation, initiates exclusion of prospects and value of life in future, the future as a prospecks of life. To keep pace with the times, to live in pace with the times, to take responsibility for life in time. Life is irretrievable; there is no reverse way from death to birth.
In our work we apply these or those methods depending on the stage of psychotherapeutic process, its tasks, temporal possibilities and expenses, cultural and personal features of patients. Among them we use dianalysis; individual, family and group psychotherapy; gestalt therapy.
