Abstract
"Compass" sentences or mantras can increase understanding of how cognitive processes apply in psychotherapy in general. The Elementary Pragmatic Model may lead to the interpretation of individual and relational processes particularly useful in family therapy. The model provides a procedure to choose sentences with a strong psychological impact (SISCI-Sentences) through three presentations. These sentences can widen participants' cognitive horizons and provide means of understanding cognitive functions according to the EPM. These sentences can be used to target structured or unstructured interventions, or can be used as means of developing creative thinking in various settings besides families.
