From Therapy to Metamorphosis: a peacebuilding process

The International Sufi School has conducted extensive research on the development of non-violent alternatives in all spheres of life. Therapy is a method of making peace with these legacies. It is used widely in the medical sphere to enable a person to deal with events which have caused suffering and conflict in his/her life, usually after a breakdown or crisis. Our speakers: Peter Jakob a consultant clinical psychologist, and director of PartnershipProjects.
