SSF Visual Psychological Formulations

Evidence-informed visual psychological formulations that apply the Six Stages Framework to make psychological thinking visible through current developments, lived experience, systems thinking and reflective enquiry.

Each SSF Visual Formulation accompanies a Through the SSF Lens News Briefing, Weekly Reflection, Special Report or other SSF publication, bringing together current developments, psychological formulation and systems thinking into a single evidence-informed resource.

Rather than simply illustrating information, SSF Visual Formulations apply the Six Stages Framework to help identify common psychological patterns, understand movement towards belonging or harm, and encourage deeper reflection about individuals, organisations and society.

Each visual formulation typically includes:
Current Developments
Dr Shungu’s Psychological Formulation
Through the SSF Lens
Stage Reflections
Cave Themes
Reflective Questions

Designed for psychologists, educators, leaders, researchers and organisations, these visual resources can be used to support professional dialogue, training, supervision, reflective practice and teaching.

The purpose is not simply to communicate information, but to make psychological thinking visible.

Every visual formulation concludes with the question that sits at the heart of the Six Stages Framework:
What are you looking at-and how does it look through the SSF lens?
