The Counselling and Psychotherapy Room as a Healing Space | Chapter 7 | Medical Science: Recent Advances and Applications Vol. 11

 

People in the community, family members, neighbours, friends, local doctors, and clergy usually form emotional and social support systems for individuals. Counselling and psychotherapy are to be found in many guises in society, and to add to the complexity, there are many formal schools of counselling and psychotherapy which are informed by their own particular theoretical framework. This review hopes to establish the different aspects of this healing process. The first part of the Literature Review delineated the relationship between the concepts of extra-sensory perception and healing. Based on Jung’s experiences related to the collective unconscious, Dunne has demonstrated that most of his findings were based on his realisations and work done on his own dreams. Exploration on the subject continued with an avalanche of experiential techniques of psychotherapy and spiritual practices of all kinds, from Gestalt therapy to transcendental meditation, among therapists and lay people in the 1970s and 1980s. Secondly, this review provided an overview of the importance of Self-knowledge as part study of the healing process in the counselling and psychotherapy room. It was noted that nowadays, some knowledge in the field of extra-sensory healing in the therapy and counselling field has been analysed closely. Finally, in part three, a typological psychotic view of the subject was given. Experiences from counsellors, healers and psychotherapists which involve premonition, visions or any other phenomenological aspect have occurred in sessions. This development shifts the field of scientific enquiries into a new period; one that is separated from the past by its recognition of the psychiatric, psychological and medical field, which influence in a direct and indirect way the work carried out in the counselling room as a healing space.
