Personal-Systemic-Inter-Personal
Purpose
Diagnose issues at the right level before intervening
How to Use
1. Introduce the three lenses: Personal (what is happening inside the individual -- emotions, beliefs, patterns), Interpersonal (what is happening between people -- relationships, power), Systemic (what is happening in the wider system -- structures, culture, history). 2. Examine a presenting challenge through each lens in turn. 3. Ask: what would a purely personal intervention look like? What would a purely systemic one look like? 4. Identify which lens has been underused. 5. Design a response that integrates all three perspectives.
