CENTRO DI TERAPIA STRATEGICA
MENTAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE

The CTS of Arezzo is a research, training and clinical Institute, which houses the School of Specialization in Brief Strategic Psychotherapy and the School of Communication and Strategic Problem Solving.
Founded in 1987, the CTS is an institute officially acknowledged by M.I.U.R (Ministero Istruzione Università Ricerca).
The Centro has been active since 1987 both in Italy and abroad, where it received numerous international scientific acknowledgements thanks to the application of a rigorous empirical-experimental research method that has allowed the creation of advanced clinical intervention (Brief Strategic Psychotherapy BST), communication (Strategic Communication), and organizational problem-solving  models (Strategic Problem Solving), published in numerous texts and articles.
Such a scientific and practical contribution represents a real “ School of thought”  which is being used and followed by the professionals in psychotherapy, training, consultancy and managerial communication all over the world .
Twenty-six books have been published and translated in various languages, which report the various clinical-research outcome carried out by the C.T.S. (see bibliography).

The C.T.S holds its branches all over Italy, Europe and also in the USA, directed by affiliated psychotherapists and consultants, who collaborate actively in the various fields of research in the application of the BST Model. The continuous collaboration and exchange of clinical-research data allow the on-going evolution of the Model and the design and application of always more efficient and effective treatment protocols, specifically set for specific pathologies (phobic-obsessive disorders, eating disorders, child pathologies, etc). Such a constant and rigorous research methodology have led to further interventions designed ad hoc for the treatment of recurring problems people create and thus have to endure.

Moreover, the Director of the Institute, Prof. Giorgio Nardone, has been recently entrusted with the charge of  coordinating the activities of the Brief Strategic and Systemic Therapy European Network.
The Network was founded during the first European Congress "EUROPEAN WAYS OF BRIES THERAPY- looking at the past to see the future", held at Arezzo in November 2003, where over 700 professionals from all over the globe attended and participated actively. The Scientific Committee made up of the Founder Members holds prominent names in the field of psychotherapy such as: Watzlawick Paul, Cecchin Gianfranco (deceased), Elkaim Mony, Garcia Teresa, Geyerhofer Stefan, Loriedo Camillo, Nardone Giorgio, Ray Wendel, Wittezaele Jean Jacques.
 
The first outcome achieved by the Network, under the direction of our Center has been the publication of the Brief Strategic and Systemic Therapy European Review (Vol. 1, 2004 – vol. 2. 2005), displayed free of charge on the web (www.bsst.org) with the intent to render available the momentous contributions given by certain prominent European scholars and researchers during the congress, and to further stimulate interaction and exchange of data regarding epistemology, research, practice and training in this field of study.
The CTS in Arezzo and its affiliations around almost all the continents offer different services and professional interventions in various fields:

• - Brief Strategic Psychotherapy, oriented to overcome specific psychological and relational problems
