The application

 

The application

I learn more about the patients faster than before. The clear visualization quickly conveys the relevance of the problem areas.

By placing colored discs on a neutral surface, complex topics become directly tangible. This creates a shared space for dialogue in which problems become clear and new solutions emerge.

Whether in therapy, counseling, research, or training – PRISM supports professionals in precisely identifying, documenting, and sustainably changing internal processes, relationship patterns, and subjective burdens. The method can be applied both analogously and digitally and is easy to learn, flexible in its application, and effective across all age groups and cultures.

Talk therapy

Therapy goals and evaluation – self-empowerment and resource activation

Thanks to PRISM, distress can be communicated simply and clearly as problems, leading to quick and effective solutions.
PRISM is an effective tool for empowering clients and activating their resources.

Therapy goals can be defined transparently, and all changes in the situation can be measurably evaluated.

PRISM is very easy to use. The therapist works with the validated PRISM T questioning method and provides the patient or interviewee with a white board and colored discs. The patient or client visualizes their answers by placing, moving, and repositioning the discs on the white board, while commenting on their actions. PRISM is based on the findings of modern brain research, psychology, and behavioral science. Documenting the PRISM process is very simple: The distances between the self (yellow dot) and the disc are measured directly in centimeters and incorporated into the standard documentation.

Addressing stress at work

Work and mental health

PRISM serves as an assessment instrument in workplace health promotion.

In modern coaching, PRISM is used as an efficient assessment method for health promotion issues. Developments can be clearly illustrated, and solutions can be presented collaboratively.

Suicidality Assessment

Determining suicidality in crisis situations is delicate. PRISM provides me with a validated decision-making tool that can also offer patients initial perspectives.

Thanks to PRISM, problems can be communicated simply and clearly, leading to quick and effective solutions.
PRISM is very simple: The PRISM therapist or interviewer uses a validated questioning methodology and provides the patient or interviewee with a white board and various colored discs. The patient or client visualizes their answers by placing, moving, and repositioning the discs on the white board and commenting on their actions.

PRISM is based on the findings of modern brain research, psychology, and behavioral science.

Recognizing suicidality

PRISM S for the systematic assessment of suicidality in LUPS

Regionally networked responsibility for reducing suicides
The SERO project by lups Lucerne Psychiatry, in collaboration with prismium GmbH (PRISM), BFH and Pro Mente Sana, is supported by Health Promotion Switzerland with CHF 1.5 million.

Suicides and (re)hospitalizations are to be reduced within four years through the widespread implementation of PRISM and other accompanying measures in the LUPS service area.

More Information

Chronic diseases

Strengthen treatment success with PRISM.

Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, rheumatism, high blood pressure, or cancer are associated with a great deal of suffering. PRISM makes this suffering visible. The problems at all levels can be pinpointed and addressed. New impulses can be provided repeatedly, even over a long period.

Occupational therapy

Awakening inner participation with PRISM

Occupational therapy focuses on the patient’s ability to function in everyday life. The PRISM method is used in occupational therapy to visually assess the patient’s “internal participation.” This approach complements the practical clinical work of occupational therapy, which primarily focuses on the “external scope of action,” i.e., the ability to participate socially. A lack of “internal participation” is often the cause of delayed treatment progress. Thanks to PRISM, “internal participation” can be improved.

Palliative medicine

PRISM reliably measures the level of suffering.

Accompanying people in the final stage of their lives demands a high degree of empathy and attentiveness. With PRISM, communication is possible even without many words. Pain and suffering can be easily communicated and appropriately alleviated.

Physiotherapy

Capturing subjective effects with PRISM

In physiotherapy, the focus is on improving physical function. Subjective effects can delay or prevent treatment success. PRISM sensitively captures and clearly communicates these relevant subjective effects in physiotherapy.

Care

PRISM provides clarity at a glance.

PRISM allows for the simple, structured, and individualized recording and communication of care-relevant aspects at the start of treatment and throughout treatment progress. With PRISM, nursing teams communicate “at a glance.”

This is demonstrated by study results from leading hospitals in Switzerland.

Psychotherapy training

PRISM is the standard instrument in the training curriculum of the psychotherapy continuing education program at the Institute for Ecological-Systemic Training, Zurich

PRISM-T

The PRISM instrument allows problems to be communicated simply and clearly, enabling them to be addressed quickly and effectively.
Using the PRISM T method, therapy goals are visualized and transparently defined by the client on the PRISM instrument. Changes in experience can be measurably evaluated.

PRISM is very easy to use. The therapist works with the validated PRISM T questioning methodology.

Self-empowerment and resource orientation

The patient or client visualizes their suffering by placing, moving, and repositioning the discs on the white board and commenting on their actions.

PRISM is an effective tool for empowering clients and for the targeted activation of their resources.

Simple and playful

PRISM is based on the findings of modern brain and behavioral research. The principle is easy for clients to understand. The playful approach is motivating. Documenting the results is simple. The distances between the self (yellow dot) and the disc are measured directly in centimeters and incorporated into the standard documentation.

Clinical research

For the past few years, we have been researching patient satisfaction with new medications using PRISM. It’s a validated method for efficiently quantifying qualitative aspects in a simple way.

PRISM is a proven method for collecting and reliably quantifying qualitative aspects such as the effects of new drugs or therapeutic methods with high acceptance.

Research centers at universities, university hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies worldwide systematically use the PRISM method.

PRISM is based on the findings of modern brain research, psychology, and behavioral science.
