As for structure, my proposal would be:
1. f has learned the principles of clean and acquired the skills to work with it
2. f has a clean attitude towards the client
3. f creates a clean context for the client
4. f chooses clean moves, that can be any form of communication (Watzlawick proves that all behavior in a social context is communication, so whatever you do or don't do around a client is a move.)
5. clean moves can be directed to A, B, C or D.
Move means that as a facilitator you make a conscious decision, after you thought it over carefully -- it may a strategic or a tactic decision.
Clean means you have this goal in mind: to enable the client to explore his or her brain, map it or enable it to make unconsious connections: anything that helps the client to retrieve, gather and process information to help him or her find the answer to the question: "What would you like to have happen?"
Clean moves help the client concentrate on what is going on, without having to deal with more information from outside (that alters the map), or get the client involved in an unconscious process that selforganizes the system. They help the client to map out his or her symptoms, thoughts and memories to try to make consciously sense of them and relate them to others and make up his or her mind (linear process).
Or, by some sensory input or (me)chemical process, change its brainstructure. I think that what happens in clean space is that symptoms are being triggered by different sensory combinations. Just triggering memories within a different context than the one from which they originate, can already change them and alter the synapses in which they are encoded and the paths they have imprinted (systems process).
Of course both processes can take place at the same time, one triggers the other and vice versa.
The presupposition is that the more you are able to keep yourself and your ideas out of it, the better the client can make up his mind. The nice thing about clean is that it is process-oriented: whatever anybody's worldview, you just facilitate his or her thinking process by clean moves. Clean moves are effective because they reduce the amount of information to be processed (you don't need to get involved in your therapist's worldview or opinion), and if they are based on how the brain works, you can effeciently go to the right spot to solve the problem. So the model serves any worldview, whatever it is, the client may figure it out for him or herself and if he or she finds out that it doesn't work for them, they may find another one or abandon it altogether.
The brain is constructed to solve problems, the mind can make conscious decisions, the emotional brain doesn't think, but reacts according to previous genetic or experiental programming.
CLEAN MOVES can be distinguished by their form:
1. clean questions
2. clean invitations
3. clean dwelling time.
Also, the way of communicating should be in service of it's understanding: slowly, piece by piece, reassuring.
