Kurzbeschreibung
Social panoramas can be defined as the bringing together of our mental representations of people we come into contact with on a daily basis. The key to our own social panorama is understanding how each of us has created our world of mental representations. Someone's social panorama consists of all mental representations making up his or her map of the social world. Most people experience this as a sort of panoramic landscape with the self in the center, surrounded by images of all individuals and groups that are socially relevant. These social images influence not only our concepts of love and authority, but also hate, respect, conflict, racist beliefs, and social power to name just a few. Mental health professionals can use this concept with clients who get stuck when dealing with any of these emotions. For professionals trained in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), this book is a natural, logical progression OF existing training and understanding because the concept of social panorama parallels existing NLP skills. In addition, this book will present additional NLP approaches to working with groups or with teams. It is in large part based on the concept of "submodalities" which was developed by Richard Bandler. By exploring the patterns in the submodalities of social experience, a hidden world of psychological reality emerges, revealing how certain social phenomena operate. By simply translating techniques for working with individuals to a larger scale, this can help build rapport skills for dealing with groups, goal setting in teams, and guided inner processes with audiences. Working models for leadership and teambuilding can also be created.
