The success of a consultation largely depends on how well the consultant can organize their work and navigate the consulting process together with the client: What approach do I choose, what setting? What do I focus on, and how far do I pursue it? When do I apply which technique? Conscious self-management, alongside a special attitude and sensitivity to contexts, is a key characteristic of systemic consulting. It helps to integrate different approaches and schools and to better utilize one's own repertoire of methods. Bernd Schmid and Andreas Kannicht provide concepts in this introduction that assist consultants, therapists, coaches, and supervisors in organizing their self-management. They uniquely combine rational metaconcepts with sound intuition.
