TARGET AUDIENCE
Educatieve Academie appeals to therapists and all those who assist people or follow a course in that direction (psychologists, doctors, educators, drama teachers, educators, social workers …). At the same time it is intended for those who, outside their profession, is interested in self-realization: how to define and develop ourselves in relation to others and as part of the universe.
MISSION
Educatieve Academie seeks a connection between the various trends in psychotherapy starting from an integral humanity. Besides having an eye for human behavior, the academy attaches importance to the inner life of man. Beyond attention to the uniqueness of every person, we also focus on the collective, the common. We consider the values, meanings, the ethics of the group to which the individual belongs, and the externally observable interactions between members of a system. We strive to offer a variety of practical and theoretical frameworks that seeks to broaden and deepen the perspective. The Academie aims to be a meeting place for people with different perspectives and backgrounds. A center where differences can exist without falling into indifference or lack of respect. We want (to train people) to continue to see the ‘man’ behind the “disease” or “the problem”. We see it as our task to create a platform where everyone can himself find answers to its most essential questions. Conceptual Interaction seeks to assume the balance of form (individuation) and releasing fixation on solid concepts.
