SOPH Core Theoretical Framework:

Clinical training is informed by a pluralistic psychodynamic approach which
includes:

*     Freudian and post-Freudian theory on development from infancy and
       childhood, including Klein, Winnicott, Erickson, Bowlby.

*     Jungian and post-Jungian theory on development of the self.

This approach is further informed by understanding of uncs. processes including
transference, counter-transference, defences, projections and introjections together
with individual work on dreams from the Jungian perspective.  It also includes some
opportunities for self-realisation and personal development where indicated.  These
elements of theory and practice are set within a holistic view of the person which
acknowledges a potential integration and healing of body, mind, spirit and feeling
as innate to each individual.
