Diploma In Buddhist Psychology & Psychotherapy
Logos-Diploma
This course is designed for those who already use psychotherapeutic approaches in their practice. It requires the author to think and reason on Buddhist thought and how this could be applied to counselling and psychotherapy. ARCC will assess your ability to recognise correlations between Buddhist thought and counselling/psychotherapy and psychology.
This course requires you to formulate your own approach to Buddhist psychotherapy and it is expected that all essays will have a unique perspective on this subject. The author of an essay does not need to attach themselves to any specific school of thought or other practitioner’s opinions, you will in effect be creating your own unique version of psychotherapy through your already existing knowledge.
On completion of your essay you will receive a Certificate through the post. This Diploma can be used to compliment already existing qualifications or as evidence of personal development.
Please be aware that the following points do not represent the structure of your essay. You may wish to express the points in a different format or include differing theories. When doing so please give reasons for this in you essay.
