Yes, this is the site you were looking for. No, affective
therapy is not a
spelling mistake. Affect is what this is all about and effective is what it is! Effective,
of course, if that is what you want. No magic wands; no wild promises; but a
framework of reality within which to change and grow.
Affective Therapy is concerned with
emotional awareness and addresses a wide range of issues including bereavement, relationships, divorce, depression, alcohol and drug
addiction, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, phobias, post traumatic
stress, verbal physical and sexual abuse including victims of rape.
Counselling and psychotherapy is for many a confusing arena. We aim to
remove the mystique and keep it simple. affective therapy addresses the underlying causes of
personal disturbances; the emotions, the feelings and the affects. It
integrates a number of the established therapeutic models but is especially
concerned with affect, our biological innate reaction to any stimuli, and
scripts, the different way we react and respond to those various affects.
This web site offers an introduction to the important principles. For an
