Psychotherapy did not start with Freud.  Although largely forgotten, its origins can be directly traced to traditional healing practices (e.g., mesmerism, mind curers, the occult).  In the age of science, healing has been reduced to prescriptions for changing people’s thoughts, feelings, behaviors, emotions, or brain chemistry.  Lost in translation are the many ways clients’ cultural and spiritual beliefs and practices can, according to research, improve engagement and outcomes.  At this (workshop/panel discussion), ways for integrating alternative approaches into your own clinical work will be explored.  Whatever your perspective – whether secular and scientific or esoteric and spiritual – you will discover how the secrets of ancient and alternative healers can make your psychotherapy practice more effective, creative, and fun.

2. List two sources of empirical support for integrating alternative healing traditions into practice;
