Abstract
The main topic of this contribution is the interaction of theoretical concepts of psychotherapy change processes, basic properties of the GOLEM — the name stands for goal-oriented learning model — and their empirical investigation. Starting with psychotherapeutic schema theory a connectionist model is proposed to meet the most important requirements for a successful psychotherapeutic process. It is able to represent environment, to act and to communicate. The second part of this article deals mainly with the empirical analysis of the concepts obtained from the model and with the verification of conclusions drawn from the model. In this model a systematic variation of input signals suffices to activate those signal representations trapped in local minima (clustered-out areas). This corresponds to the assumption in real therapy that variations in how themes as global representations of interactional situations are addressed suffice to bring about change.
