Integrative Body Psychotherapy – some common ground Joining CABP
|
About CABP
CABP is a national accrediting organisation for Body Psychotherapists in the UK. The association provides a professional peer network and a dynamic forum for communication, co-operation and dialogue amongst its members and with the wider field of psychotherapy. The
name Chiron has become associated with an integrative and relational
approach to body psychotherapy in the UK. The centaur Chiron symbolises
our engagement with the interactive processes between psychological,
bodily and transpersonal dimensions which contribute to the
organisation of the whole person. The image of the 'wounded healer'
associated with the centaur also serves as a reminder of the
participative nature of the psychotherapist's role in the therapeutic
relationship. From a relational perspective, the therapeutic encounter
impacts on, and potentially changes, both participants. If this meeting
is to be real, the therapist must bring their vulnerability and
humility to the meeting as well as their experience and strength.
CABP
is a practitioner-centred association led by its elected members and
dedicated to developing and advancing the art, science, and practice of
Body Psychotherapy. Founded initially as the "Association of Chiron
Psychotherapists" (AChP) in 1988 to support practitioners trained at
the Chiron Centre for Body Psychotherapy in London, the organisation
expanded to accommodate therapists from other body psychotherapy
approaches as well. Services for CABP members include:
