Luis Castellanos was born in Mexico, his interest in helping people
motivated him to pursue a career in psychology at the Universidad de
Guadalajara, what caught his attention in the studies were the ideas of
systemic therapies applied as a psychotherapist in a public institution
of social assistance. Later He decided to study a Master in Family
Therapy at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, in this
postgraduate He was overwhelmed by the social constructionism and
collaborative practices.
From his passion for these ideas, along with his wife and colleague,
both designed a way of working in which they could have productive
dialogues through reflecting team with: individuals, couples, families,
businesses and schools. This way of working could apply in their private
practice and consultant for the government of the city of Cancun.
In 2010 thanks to the Grupo Campos Elíseos and the Instituto Kanankil
they were lucky to assist at the International Congress of TAOS
Institute: Collaborative and Dialogic Practices in Therapy and Social
Change, in this event they were able to meet our favorite authors, but
especially established a good relationship with some of them and several
others affiliates at the TAOS Institute, and thanks to these
relationships and the constructionist ideas they have worked to
government institutions of the State of Quintana Roo and Cancún in
projects to prevent violence with vulnerable urban and rural
populations.
They have also been able to work in companies facilitating process of
Appreciative Inquiry, and eager for more people to benefit with these
ideas, they have facilitated meetings with different professionals in
Cancún to learn about the social constructionist ideas, co-creating with
them a community of people who support different projects for social
change.
The topics that they´re researching are: rhizomes, movement of giving, receiving and returning, community, death and love.
