Sociotherapy operates through a holistic vision of mankind. That is to say that the human being is seen as a somatic, psychic, social and spiritual unity, which is unique because of his own history of growth. The human being is seen as an autonomously functioning creature, and, simultaneously, as a socially dependent creature. All people are equal and should have the same rights and should be aware of this or be made aware. Human development occurs, by definition, through contact with others.
People form all sorts of social contacts with each other.
A human being needs other people to be able to realize his wishes and needs. The environment is therefore important for the development of human abilities. There is mutual influencing and mutual dependence. Malfunctioning social systems can form a serious obstacle to the development and well-being of a person. The creation of these conditions is a central concern for the Sociotherapy.
