We aim to bring high quality training\u00a0and professional development to counselling practitioners who wish to\u00a0further their learning\u00a0and development through the practice and dissemination of Emotion-Focused\u00a0Therapy\u00a0theory\u00a0and practice. It is also our aim to continue to provide high quality therapy, supervision and accreditation for the populations that we serve and to foster\u00a0positive impacts for the\u00a0counsellors and supervisees that we train. An underlying principal behind the mission\u00a0statement is the dissemination of the importance of Emotion in therapy, in our work and in\u00a0the lives of those that this work\u00a0aims to serve.<\/p>\n<p>This mission statement is underpinned by a core set of humanistic values which inform not\u00a0only our teaching and practice but also the way that we intend to\u00a0conduct\u00a0ourselves\u00a0within\u00a0this institute with each other. These values are a follows:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Humanistic Values<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Presence\/Authenticity.\u00a0People function best and are best helped through authentic,\u00a0person-to-person relationships.<br \/>\n2. Experiencing. Immediate experiencing is the basis of human thought, feeling and action.<br \/>\n3. Agency\/Self-determination. Human beings are fundamentally free to choose what to do\u00a0and how to construct their worlds.<br \/>\n4. Holism.\u00a0People are greater than the sum of their parts, and cannot be understood by\u00a0focusing on single aspects.<br \/>\n5. Pluralism\/Egalitarianism. At the same time, differences within and between people\u00a0should be recognized, tolerated and even prized.<br \/>\n6. Growth.\u00a0People have a natural tendency toward psychological growth and development\u00a0that continues throughout the life span.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mission Statement The mission of the Scottish Institute for Emotion-Focused Therapy is to promote and support\u00a0the development of EFT in Scotland and its environs.
