[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 675485, member: 18958"] I first learned of it in graduate school. At that time maybe 30 to 35 years ago it was taught as a part of humanistic psychology. I just googled these words: [I]strategic psychotherapy concepts of martial arts[/I] and I found a lot of articles that may touch on it. You may also want to look at Dialectical Therapy. I need to get ready to go out. I will try to remember when I come home to look further, or tomorrow, to find specific references. The concept is one that we here learn: to get out of the way. So much of our children's energies are oriented towards resisting our authority. When we stop pushing back, they are left with themselves. The idea is winning (us) by using our power strategically, not to oppose. Even reading about the martial arts per se will illuminate the concept. I have never done martial arts, but I think the idea is dominating a situation by strategic interventions that result in the opponent's own power, own thrusts arriving where you have planned for them to go. Or something like that. COPA [/QUOTE]
