摘要

In their counseling work, organizational consultants, supervisors, and coaches engage with people in their everyday lives. From a holistic perspective, they are thus also confronted with the socio-psycho-biological feedback mechanisms of their clients, which can influence the counseling process. Exploring this is the focus of the emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI). PNI views every person as an inseparable unity of social, psychological, neural, hormonal, and immunological activities. A central area of PNI concerns the influence of psychosocial stress on the immune system. Meta-analyses suggest, however, that common PNI methods—such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and laboratory experiments—cannot master the complexity of this field of research. We have therefore developed an alternative research approach: the integrative single-case study. This approach makes it possible to examine biopsychosocial complexity under constantly changing everyday conditions—“life as it is lived.” The results presented here point to a paradigm shift in the methodological approach to stress research, which is also significant for counseling practice.
