Max and Ellen are unique psychologists and coaches who work with a vast range of very diverse people from various social groups and cultures. Several times a year they also travel to Russia with training seminars, and our Russian team was lucky to have a chance to film these coaching sessions and to be able to share it with others.
The purpose of this documentary series for us was not to film a master class for professional psychologists. We wanted to show the wide audience how a coaching session might look and feel. We were dreaming to inspire our audience in search of their truth, their path, their choices. We hope that these very personal stories will feel supportive to our viewers and serve as a kind of "brainstorm" for the inner work.
"In my view, the Conflictology project shows that we are not only split and conflicted people, but underneath what seems difficult and/or ugly has its own logic and natural beauty. Our world is beautiful, and so is everyone.”

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Season 3 created for Mamaki Film
Season 2, Season 1-commissioned by the TV company " Psychology 21 "(Stream TV)
Max and Ellen Schupbach work with clients using a psychological approach developed by Arnold Mindell (USA) and his colleagues, which is called "process-oriented psychology". The main emphasis is placed on the perception of the flow of life events — the "process", as well as on the belief that even the most difficult problem initially contains the seed of its solution.
Conflictology is a discipline that studies the patterns of the origin, development, resolution and completion of conflicts. The science of conflictology begins in the middle of the 20th century in the book by the German-American sociologist Lewis Koser. The scientist emphasized in his book that conflict is a form of socialization.
"Conflict is that specific kind of Dao. Awareness can transform a painful situation into an enriching one."
"Conflict may be the father of all things, that is, the driver of change, but conflict doesn't have to be war," wrote Ralph Dahrendorf.
