Hierdie post word opgedra aan Afrikaansinskotland (of soos ek speels na haar verwys as AIS), na aanleiding van ‘n opmerking wat sy op ‘n vorige post gemaak het:
Ek kry die volgende inligting oor Emmy van Deurzen op Wikipedia:
Deurzen has been instrumental in establishing the existential approach in the United Kingdom in the nineteen eighties and nineties, through her publications, through the creation of the Society for Existential Analysis (SEA) in 1988 and the creation of the International Collaborative of Existential Counsellors and Psychotherapists (ICECAP) in 2006. She has also secured the training of hundreds of existential therapists in the UK by founding the School of Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s College along existential principles and by setting up the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling specifically for the purpose of existential training.
She further encouraged the recognition of the approach in the UK when she was chair of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy 1993-1995 and at a European level when she was co-Chair of the training standards committee of the European Association for Psychotherapy.
Ek hoop dit stil jou feministiese streep vir nou, AIS.
Baie dankie! Ek dink tussen díe aanhaling en Doris Lessing wat die Nobel prys vir letterkunde gewen het, is my feministiese streep vereers bevredig.
Alhoewel die (jaloerse, en meestal manlike) kritici reeds in die agtergrond begin grom dat sy dit eintlik as ‘troosprys’ gekry het.
(Ek sal een van haar boeke moet lees en my subjektiewe opinie daaroor vorm.)
Sterkte met Kanada/Thailand - dit is ‘n reuse stap, maar ook baie opwindend.
