The Cape Cod Model ©

 
The Cape Cod Model is an approach to living in the world, as well as a model for working as a psychotherapist, coach, consultant, manager or leader. It is based on Gestalt principles.

The key principles informing the model are: 
  • The importance of the practitioner developing an authentic and flexible presence, appropriate to the situation.
  • Raising awareness and creating new experience supports growth and development.
  • The practitioner develops and embodies an optimistic stance.
  • The practitioner understands and appreciates the co-creation between people.
  • The practitioner appreciates that behavior that might look problematic, actually serves a purpose, however is likely being used in the wrong context or being overused.
These skills are developed through detailed observation, ongoing practice, and feedback from a supportive learning community, which the Cape Cod Training Program provides.

"The Cape Cod Model© gave me a coherent, simple framework, almost a new aesthetic, through which to understand human interactions. What I learned is a continued source of clarity about how we relate to each other."

— Vanessa Grajwer



"The Cape Cod Model© has helped me keep an optimistic attitude in a problem oriented environment. I am astonished at how much that helps."

—Eva Axelsson
