Manifesto
ComPlexus is born from the vision of the encounter with the person as an opportunity to embrace the other, the contexts, and the relationships, connecting their gazes. By appreciating every fold and nuance of the human soul we can observe the complexity and focus on the plot of our lives: simplicity necessarily needs complexity.
The degree of complexity of an object, an individual, or a context is expressed by the two adjectives " simple " and “complex ” which share the root of the Latin word " plico " which means " to fold ".
We can therefore know through these folds the uniqueness, for example of an individual, and literally " explain " them in order to start a process of understanding and awareness. The final goal is the psycho-physical well-being. However, it also means appreciating what the folds give life to. As in the practice of origami, starting from a white sheet and folding it in different ways we can create infinite wonderful works.
ComPlexus is also the past participle of the Latin verb complector which in Latin means " embraced ", but also reunited, collected, understood. We believe that it is through the power of relationships that we can accommodate real needs and support the difficulties that may arise throughout life.
Our values
1. Alliance
For us, it is essential to get involved personally in order to create a bond of trust with the patient. This allows us to create a protected and fertile environment for each path. The therapeutic alliance allows you to define a collaborative work in which everyone has an active role and allows you to agree together on the objectives of the path, be it psychological support, psychotherapy or perhaps empowerment within a group.
2. Attention to contexts
Our gaze in every situation is never limited to just one level of observation and understanding. We take into consideration all the factors and actors that come into play. We therefore look at the individual in the plurality of systems in which he is inserted, such as family, school, work, free time and so on. Similarly, when we intervene in a specific context, the attention is not only for the latter but also for the other contexts with which it interacts.
3. Presence
We believe in the value for the person of being able to create a relationship in person. This allows to dedicate oneself one's own space that is not only temporal but also physical, in an environment that allows to feel welcomed, not judged and protected. A place where you can disconnect from your everyday routine and where you can take care of your mental health.
4. Teamwork
Through constant supervision and intervision, each of us enriches our work with the gaze of other colleagues in a continuous dialogue and exchange. Everyone in their diversity brings richness to the group and allows us to see what the other does not see.
5. Self-determination
We deeply believe that human beings should be free to choose for themselves, to be active protagonists of their lives and aware of their choices. The individual must autonomously define his own values and objectives.
Our mission is to make this happen.
6. Professional ethics
We strictly follow the ethics of the psychological profession. Confidentiality and anonymity are fundamental rights and we respect them when we welcome our patients
in a safe and protected place
7. Co-design
The path that is undertaken is never decided a priori by the professional but rather it is always co-constructed with the person that makes the request for intervention, the first true expert of his/her condition, difficulties and needs. Each one is unique and unrepeatable for us and our paths are designed around the peculiarities of the individual and of the systems in which he is inserted.
8. Research and training
We continually update ourselves and are always attentive to the latest frontiers of scientific research in which we are actively involved with projects and publications. We bring added social value to all the situations we come into contact with, making our skills and passion available for the society.
