Socratic Method Simplified

By Patricia Sommer

The psychological way to decision making: Having its origin in antiquity, almost two thousand years ago, the Socratic Dialogue was used as a simple method of obtaining information.

In the meantime, however, Socratic dialogue has changed. It is no longer used to gather information and has also been given a new name. Instead, this conversation technique is now used in psychology when people find it difficult to form their own opinions and accordingly make decisions based on them. For many cases, Socratic Dialogue is one of the last means by which these people can be helped. Accordingly, this technique is now integrated into general psychology.

The content of the book is as follows:

What is Socratic dialogue?Socratic developmentFrom antiquity to current psychotherapyThe Socratic DialoguePsychological therapy and counseling

How, however, did a means of gathering information turn into an interactive dialogue designed to lead to freedom of choice? How much has this conversational approach changed over the last two thousand years, and what exactly does pedagogy have to do with it? This book aims to give a first insight into exactly these questions and to describe how the Socratic Dialogue and method is used in today's psychotherapy to improve people's lives.
