Processwork or Process-oriented Psychology, developed by Arnodl Mindell and colleagues is an innovative, experience-oriented approach for facilitation change processes, in psychotherapy, coaching and supervision, in team and group work, in conflict facilitation and mediation. Processwork is used for working with individuals, relationships, in organizations, communities and with all kinds of social tensions. Founded in 1982 in Zurich, Switzerland, the Institute for Processwork is a member of the Swiss Charta for Psychotherapy. It offers bi-lingual D/E training programs for people from all walks of life. The school is represented world-wide on all continents.
Worldwork is a development of Processwork into the fieldof team and group facilitation. Workdwork offers new tools and attitudes with which to facilitate change and development in teams, small and large groups, in organiztions, pro-profit companies and in social-political areas. Its basic attittude of 'deep democracy' values all positions, roles and experiences in a given field. Dynamics of rank and power, privilege, polarization into opposites or central and marginal voices are just as important as interactions between roles, individual experiences and relationship. Rational goals of the group and also feelings, bodily reactions of its members are utilized in the solution-finding process. Inherent in any particular field of tension you'll find an emergent and specific direction which manifests all the more, the more clearly the totality of the experiences and descriptions of reality of the group's members are represented.
