Human Dimension of Psychotherapy Conference

July 18 - 20, 2008
Hart House, University of Toronto, Canada

The traditions of humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, transpersonal and somatic psychology have a long history affirming the complex holism of the human experience. These 'alternatives' to manualized, outcome oriented therapies have a substantial academic and professional history, integrating the complex dimensions of being human. How do we bring each individual into full presence? How do we integrate this clinical knowledge into 21st century psychotherapy?

Join us as we rally to affirm the 'gems' of these traditions within the political 'setting' of the new legislation for psychotherapy regulation in Ontario.

Rae Johnson, PhD, RSW, RSMT; David Lukoff, PhD; Dan Merkur; PhD, Linda Page, PhD; Kirk J. Schneider, PhD.

The Living Institute and The Associations for Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology announce a new Toronto energy centre

The Living Institute is in the process of establishing a local chapter, or 'energy centre', of the conjoined Association for Humanistic Psychology (AHP, www.ahpweb.org) and Association for Transpersonal Psychology (ATP, www.atpweb.org). Both these internationally connected associations develop projects and activities that serve the evolution of individuals, society and culture, based on the themes of interdependence with each other and the natural world. This conjoined AHP/ATP centre has a psychotherapy focus, making it especially relevant to the current political situation regarding the new regulation of psychotherapy in Ontario.

About The Living Institute

The Living Institute is a teaching centre committed to exploring humanistic, psychodynamic, existential and mythological themes in individual, cultural and cosmological evolution. The basis for this work is the Holistic Experiential Process Method (HEP). HEP is a model for understanding systemic management and growth that is both social and personal, providing a method for facilitating the evolutionary emergence of self-organizing complexity from apparently chaotic disorder.

The Living Institute recognizes the importance of spiritual and human values in institutional and organizational functions that serve society and culture, based on the interdependence of humans with each other and the natural world.

The Living Institute is also participating in the current re-emergence of spiritual models that draw on ancient cosmologies, from both eastern and western mystical traditions, where nature is seen to embody patterns of integration that link the part with the whole, so that everything is understood to be interconnected.

What makes the Living Institute exceptional is the depth and breadth of our faculty. They are leaders and innovators in their fields.
