ABSTRACT

The IPF-procedure is a computer aided procedure to investigate the interpersonal relationships between the participants in a residential group therapy program, but can be employed in each setting where people are functioning in some social relationship. In the following presentation of the procedure, some basic assumptions are discussed first. This is followed by a description of how the data regarding significant theoretical aspects are elicited. How these data are processed and how the outcome can be portrayed in a visual presentation is shown by means of an example of an investigation that is carried out.
