Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration (IPP)
Member of the Fédération Française de Psychothérapie et Psychanalyse (FF2P) Institute Accredited by the European Association of Psychotherapy Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration (IPP) By Eliane and Claude Vaux Société Civile IFCC – SIRET 405 186 875 00036 – 102 Route du Polygone – 67100 Strasbourg Tel: 0033 (0)3 88 60 44 84 – Email: [email protected] – Site: www.ifcc-psychotherapie.fr 1 2 Short history The IFCC was founded in 1996 with enthusiasm and joy. Eliane Jung-Fliegans, clinical psychologist, and Claude Vaux, body psychotherapist, combined their expertise and their passion for this work since 1982 and decided to create a psychotherapy training course mainly focused on Gestalt Therapy and Postural Integration. At the time, Claude Vaux was working in Paris at the Triangle association, with Michel Sokoloff and Dominique Vayner. Triangle opens the field to new therapies from the USA and from India by organizing seminars and training courses. In this way, they bring to France a range of therapists known in Esalen, cradle of humanist psychology, such as Léonard Orr, creator of Rebirth, Paul Rebillot, founder of Experiential Gestalt, Alexander Lowen, founder of Bioenergetic Analysis, Gerda Boyesen, creator of Biodynamics, Harvey Jackins, founder of Co-Counseling, Jack Painter, creator of Postural Integration… Eliane, after obtaining a master’s degree in psychology, created the Cabinet of Humanist Psychology in Strasbourg, where she practices Gestalt Therapy and Creative Visualization. Little by little, the method they teach became more and more distinctive and eventually unified under the name of Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration. Claude and Eliane collaborate with Jack Painter and Paul Rebillot, but above all integrate into their training the Regenerative Movement taught by Itsuo Tsuda, whom Claude met in 1978. -

Dare I Touch? Exploring the Potentials of Using Touch in Neuro-Linguistic-Psychotherapy Asaf Rolef Ben-Shahar
Dare I touch? Exploring the Potentials of using touch in Neuro-Linguistic-Psychotherapy Asaf Rolef Ben-Shahar Touch remains the most trusted connection between people. I will believe your touch before I believe your words. Virginia Satir (1988) I breathe. I come to my centre. What does it mean to come to my centre, for me? It means being at home with me; it means being ok with the thoughts, sensations, emotions, being ok with me. Moreover, it means making a statement to the world about being me: it’s ok. Strangely, it is when I’m mostly in my centre, that I’m also mostly connected to others. This is nothing new, I haven’t invented any novelty; different people in different cultures have talked about these moments. I breathe. I come to my centre and connect with you through my centre. We watch each other, we sense each other’s presence; we touch. What could be more wonderful than this celebration of life? What could be scarier than this celebration of life? And in those moments it doesn’t matter that I am a therapist and you are a client (or vice-versa). In those moments we are. And when I am, then all is ok, and when you are all is ok. And techniques? And changework? And achieving the client’s outcome? Well, techniques is what we do when being isn’t that easy, isn’t it? Some people are afraid of trance; they are fearful because trance opens the door to powerful change, it opens doors to genuine and authentic magic. -

According to acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, a kind of vital energy, is said to flow. There is no generally-accepted anatomical or histological basis for these concepts, and modern acupuncturists tend to view them in functional rather than structural terms, (as a useful metaphor in guiding evaluation and care of patients). Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world. Bowen Technique The Bowen Technique is one version of a group of technical interpretations of the work of Australian osteopath Tom Bowen (1916–1982) known as Bowen Therapy, which is a holistic system of healing. -
