Over the years, the Institute has developed a method of facilitating learning which integrates the excitement and stimulation of direct experience with the depth and direction that comes from a thorough understanding of ideas. The major aspects of this method are:
That
students' own inner process is the guideline around which each course is
designed. As students' inner development unfolds, they are able to relate
meaningfully to the course material.
That
the learning involves the students actively participating in structured
exercises so that they can explore ideas directly in relation to their own
experience and not be merely passive recipients.
That
a method of creative thinking within a group setting has been evolved, which
helps students actively consider how their thoughts and feelings condition
their view of reality. This process allows for theoretical models to be
built together in the group through individuals contributing their own ideas.
This process of learning to think together engenders not only a cooperative
attitude but also an ability to think in general patterns as well as analytically.
That
the training attempts to develop independent judgement in trainees beyond
'right and wrong' and beyond learned patterns of obedience to authority.
Trainees are encouraged to think through the ideas presented to them and
to find their own meaning through written assignments and case presentations
in supervisions and study groups.

The Diploma Courses are open to all those who have completed the Foundation Year course in Psychosynthesis and who have sufficient academic qualification and/or life experience to undertake a training in counselling and psychotherapy or to further their professional studies. At the same time, students need to demonstrate that they have an appropriate field of expression to which the training can be applied.
On completion of the Foundation Year Course, candidates are invited to apply for a Diploma Course. Interviews take place in June for intake in the following October. After receipt of the application the candidate will be interviewed. A decision will be confirmed in writing to the candidate as soon as possible thereafter.
The training year begins at the end of September of each year.
