Changes

The methods in the courses are educational, broad and eclectic, derived from a great variety of sources in the fields of humanistic and transpersonal psychology, as well as more traditional fields of psychology, religious studies, drama, music and art. The techniques used cover a broad spectrum of approaches, including gestalt, Reichian body approaches, acupuncture, psychodrama, psychosynthesis, role playing, family therapy, fantasy and visualization techniques, video work, music and play therapy, all stressing encounter and communication skills (Wong & McKeen 1999). The approaches are educational rather than therapeutic, so no medical or nursing care is available (Littleton 1985), (Fayerman 1998), (Times-Colonist, 2001), (Niosi, 2003). Some lectures and discussion groups are involved, but an emphasis is placed upon heuristic education in which the person is invited to experience situations where (s)he will be able to learn what is needed (Tao 1993), (Allen 2005, pp. xi, 20-24, 45-46, 91), (Robelin 2006).
