"The FUTURE of Successful Therapy".
Affectology courses and practitioner training
programs are available through the School of Affectology in
Australia and the Euro-Scandin School of Affectology in Scandinavia
and Northern Europe (and other international areas).
The philosophy of the schools is built on a
firm commitment to the training of practitioners operating
within "best and safest" practices guidelines.
In other terms, it may be said that the schools have an ultimate
commitment to the everyday client rather than the clinician,
or their own commercial viability.
The first and most basic tenet of the medical
profession is "do no harm," and this, whilst seemingly
"lost" to the philosophies of the health professions,
remains uppermost in the realm of affectology.
The human mind is incredibly resilient and able,
but where there has been any breakdown of that resilience
and the beginning of a mental or emotional "disorder,"
that resilience can be eroded. For this reason, affectologists
and af-x® Practitioners conduct sessions
with ultimate care based on deeper understanding
of the processes of the subconscious affect mind.
It is public knowledge that some schools teaching
therapies that claim to be "subconscious-oriented"
proclaim that a person can be a "good therapist"
without complex knowledge of what they are attending to, and
that the focus of their teaching is not "theoretical."
This attitude is irresponsible and dangerous, producing "therapists"
who have no idea of some of the possible consequences of deviating
from proven "safest practices" guidelines.
The School of Affectology (Australia) and the
Euro-Scandin School of Affectology (Scandinavia and Northern
Europe) both offer courses that are concerned with the study
of the processes of the "affectological mind"
and an understanding of the complexities of the Emotional
Matrix before any instruction in practical
and clinical aspects is allowable.
The tenets of the schools is not only to teach
sound theory and effective practical application, but to train
practitioners who offer, as a matter of procedure, all clients
an opportunity to exercise "due diligence" in
their choice to undertake the therapy.
In the same vein, the school intends to offer
prospective students the opportunity to exercise "due
diligence" in their choice to undertake the training.
This is why the school provides a detailed prospectus that
offers information about the context as well as the content,
of our training programs.
The Diploma of Affectology course is divided
into several "Tiers" of study and involves the
following training components:
An Affectology Theory component (Tier 1 study) completed as
external home based study, which serves much of the theory
and conceptual study requirements. This better caters for
the initial training of "distance" students.
Attendant training workshops and an intensive attendant component
(Tier 2 study) that serves the majority of practical therapy
training and leads to the commencement of clinical practice.
Several attendant developmental workshops (Tier 2a study)
based on the results of clinical feedback, and additional
practical instruction. After successful completion of the
requirements of this component graduates receive their Diploma
qualification.
An advanced Affectology Theory component (Tier 3 study) completed
by graduates as external home based study, which is a prerequisite
for advancement to registered af-x Practitioner
status.
As Diploma graduates proceed with clinical practice
and complete their Tier 3 studies, they must also meet other
specific criteria as they work towards registration as an
af-x Practitioner.
