Pesso Boyden System of Psychotherapy (PBSP) is a psychotherapy treatment developed by Albert Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso in 1961. [1]
PBSP heals psychological and emotional wounds that were created from trauma or from a lack in five core needs. Those needs are place, support, protection and loving limits. It does this by creating alternate validating memories that symbolically fill in the traumatic or lacking areas. These memories are created in a symbolic ritual with the client in a session, which PBSP calls a structure.
The lack of core need fulfilment or area of trauma needing assistance in the client is discovered through free flow thought with the therapist and the therapist's 'micro tracking' validation and labelling of the client's emotion and paraphrase of the client's words through 'witnessing'.
Structures work by placing the clients mind's eye view of their upbringing or trauma healing need and relationships out onto a stage with small objects representing the participants, or real life persons role playing the participants. Bringing the memories out of the client's mind helps to defuse the lessons learnt from the memory or incident. Furthermore, a reversal is enacted which helps the client to add a positive created memory around the area.
