What does
psycho-social mean?
Many of us are challenged in our specific professional fields to deal professionally with situations that appear “chaotic”. The larger whole in this context stands for the unpredictable dynamics of interpersonal interaction, for the social situations we create together. The individual details stand for the manifold aspects of the inner-psychic worlds of experience of the individual persons. The double term psycho-social brings both sides together and focuses on their interaction. Professional actions succeed when both aspects are harmoniously intertwined. Complex, seemingly “chaotic” processes can be effectively understood and assessed in a field of tension described in interactionist terms.
