Process Oriented Psychology Ireland They're done! The certificate group 2003-2005.
We are proud of our three-year certificate and our five-year diploma training in Process Oriented Psychology that is presently in place here in Ireland. Our curriculum structure, our valued trainers and our community commitment to processing our steps (as individuals and as a collective) are quality stones to what we are about. We are a source and authority of our own ideas, plans and visions, and seek deep democracy as a core valve to our development. We believe in our challenging and loving learning and teaching environment, in our awareness of the use of rank and in our warm welcoming atmosphere. We examine ourselves and are examined. We accredit ourselves individually and are accredited collectively. We embrace all spirits known and unknown crafting our path to graduating ourselves to the greater service of the whole. _____________
"What is above sacrifices itself to increase what is below, this is out-and-out increase. To rule truly is to serve. It is the spirit that has power to help the world. It is the way of great enlightenment, the way of great clarity". We the Irish Process Work Community are called to take our authority and rank for the greater good of all. 'Sacrifice on the part of those above for the increase of those below fills us with a sense of joy and gratitude which is of great value to the common well-being". The Judgement "When people are devoted to their leaders, great and difficult undertakings are possible. Therefore in such time of process and successful development, it is necessary to work and make the best use of the time in harmony with the spirit". We Process Oriented Psychology Ireland value and celebrate our teachers, our leaders and our training. We work well and are guided by the spirit of our community. The Image "As thunder and wind reinforce each other so the wise man notes the ways of others. If he sees good in others he imitates it, if he sees bad in himself he removes it". We seek the path of awareness. We undertake the creation of something great, the creation of an Irish Process Oriented Psychology Centre, stepping into our authority by acting in harmony with the highest law of nature, of our community and of our full selves. (Source: The Birth of Process Oriented Psychology Ireland - Group Process - April 2002) Process work developed in the 1970s and 1980s in Zurich, Switzerland, when Dr. Arnold Mindell began researching illness as a dream-like expression. A Jungian analyst and former physicist, Mindell discovered that the dreaming process went far beyond the nighttime dreams and could be seen in physical symptoms, relationship difficulties, addictions, extreme states of consciousness, and social tensions. In 1982 the Research Society for Process Oriented psychology was founded in Zurich and a training program was developed shortly thereafter. Mindell and a group of colleagues moved to Portland Oregon in 1990 to establish the Process Work Center of Portland. Today there are training programs offered worldwide in countries from Australia to Switzerland to Russia to India to Japan and to Dublin.
In 1990 Kate Jobe and Joe Goodbread gave a public seminar in Belfast. The following years (1991-1992) they offered two seminars, one in Dublin and one in Belfast. These were the first public Process Work seminars in Ireland. Subsequently they were invited to give a seminar in Dublin which took place in November 1993 in Sr. Louis High School, Rathmines. In 1994, the first formal Irish training programme was co-founded by a group of Irish learners together with certified process work trainers from Portland, Oregon, Joseph Goodbread and Kate Jobe. Training programs in Ireland continue to grow and attract learners from fields such as psychology, medicine, clergy and the law, as well non-professionals seeking personal growth and awareness training. The first training weekend took place on 20 - 23 January 1995 with about 20 people present in the Dublin Counselling Centre in Gardiner Street. In December 1997 the first group of students completed the three year Certificate Programme. A second group of students had already started the Certificate Programme in 1997 and completed their training in 1999 and the following year, in January 2000, a third group started the Certificate and this group will graduate in December 2002. A group of students working towards a Certificate in Process Work commenced in January 2003 and completed their studies in 2005 (picture above) and a new group will begin in January 2006. We have two Irish Diplomates along with Phase 1 and Phase 2 students and 2 students soon to take their final exams. In 2000 the training program was accredited by NAPCP and also the IAHIP. The Certificate in Process Work can be the first step toward accreditation (with additional supervision) by these official bodies.
