Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Psychosynthesis

Validated by the University of East London

You do not need to be a graduate to enter the programme – you do need appropriate life experience and understanding.

The educational philosophy of the Professional Training is based upon an holistic approach which:

>	blends affective and cognitive learning, integrating personal experience with a theoretical understanding of psychosynthesis models and principles.
>	supports the development of self-actualised individuals and effective professionals.
>	recognises and appreciates the interdependence of physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth.
>	enhances awareness of the unity of apparent polarities in society, and of the creative role individuals can play within it.
>	takes a pragmatic approach to learning.

The inner process and development of the student play a central role, interfaced with the course material. Training consists of an in-depth study of psychosynthesis as a model of the human being and its place within individual, interpersonal, social and global contexts.

The programme builds on the Graduate Certificate in Psychosynthesis Foundations using the same methods at a deeper level.
