Inner Peace Self-Help Technology
Inner Peace uses the structured process approach to self-help therapy. In a structured process, the user is asked a series of questions. The answer to each question determines the next question.
 

Structured Process Example Without A Computer

Here is a simple example of a structured process without using a computer:

Question 1

What is your preferred fruit?
  • apples
  • bananas
If the answer is apples, answer question 2.

If the answer is bananas, answer question 3.

 
Question 2
What is it you prefer most about apples?
  • the taste
  • the texture
If the answer is taste, answer question 4.

If the answer is texture, answer question 5.

 
Question 3
What is it you prefer most about bananas?
  • the taste
  • the texture
If the answer is taste, answer question 6.

If the answer is texture, answer question 7.

 
Question 4
What is it you prefer most about the taste of apples?
  • the sweetness
  • the tartness
...
 

Structured Process Example Using A Computer

Just from this simple example, it is obvious that a computer could help such a process. For example, question 2 could easilly be rewritten on a computer as follows:

Question 2

What is it you prefer most about [answer from question 1]?
  • the taste
  • the texture
 
Followed by:
What do you prefer most about the [answer from question 2] of [answer from question 1]?
 

Structured Processes with a Counselor

Some therapists use structured therapy processes. The counselor has to learn the process and the correct question to ask next, depending upon the answer.
 

Structured Processes in Self-Help Books

Some self-help books use structured therapy processes. The user turns to different followup questions depending upon how each previous question is answered.
 

Structured Self-Help Therapy On a Computer

The user's experience of Inner Peace is somewhere between being with a counselor and using a self-help book.

The user does not have to find the next question. The computer program asks the next question depending upon the previous answer. This resembles the experience of being with a counselor.

The process is all self-help. There is no counselor. This resembles using a self-help book.

Brand new self help process.

We have been instrumental in creating a brand new self help process for Lovers in Training. The process is called Healing the Me I See in You. It is still in beta, so watch it develop. Enjoy.

About This Archived Collection

Inner Peace is no longer maintained by its author, and no support is available for using the software. This collection is preserved as it stood, and is hosted by ibiblio.org. To report a problem with these pages, such as a broken link or a missing file, use the ibiblio help request page.

Many of the sites this collection links to have closed or changed hands in the years since these pages were written. Rather than send you to whoever holds those addresses now, ibiblio has altered some of the links:

  • A link marked [archived copy] opens a dated snapshot at the Internet Archive instead of the original address.
  • Text marked [link no longer available] was a link to a site that has gone, and for which no snapshot could be found. The words remain; the link does not.

The original addresses have not been erased. Every altered link still records the address it pointed at, in the page source, so what this collection cited remains part of the record. None of the author's own writing has been changed.

Donations are no longer accepted. The donation buttons that once appeared on these pages, and in the programs offered here for download, sent money to the collection's author, who has since ended their involvement with the collection. Continuing to collect money on their behalf would not be right, so ibiblio has removed those buttons. Pages describing the old donation policy are left as the author wrote them, and describe how things once worked rather than how they work now.


Hosted by ibiblio.org

InnerPeace.Org is a member organization of ibiblio.org, the public's library, based at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which provides our Internet hosting, archiving, and other support.
