2007 CORE Structural Integrative Therapy Certification Program
The CORE Structural Integrative Therapy Certification Program will be taught in four intensive seminars at the CORE Institute of Tallahassee, FL. George P. Kousaleos and selected faculty of the CORE Institute will teach this 500 hour program in the 10 sessions of structural integration.
CORE Structural Integrative Therapy is the most advanced system of structural integration taught at this time. Utilizing the classical treatment formats that were designed a half-century ago, the CORE Structural system also utilizes clinical techniques and educational strategies that are client-friendly. The power of this system is matched by learning objectives that honor the client’s ability to increase their neurosomatic awareness with that level of touch that corresponds to their sensory nervous system and somatotype.
Phase One training is titled CORE Extrinsic, and it includes goal-based lessons of the first three 90-minute sessions of the work, along with advanced body-reading strategies, flexibility programs, and the use of other educational strategies that promote client participation. Phase One will be taught during the first intensive seminar, a 12-day program from May 2 through May 13.
Phase Two training is titled CORE Intrinsic, and it includes the treatment plans of the four deepest sessions that work with the alignment and balance of the pelvis, spine, and cranium. Psychological theories and strategies are presented, along with advanced anatomy and physiology of these regions and related systems. Phase Two will be taught during the second and third intensive seminars, each lasting for 8 days.
Phase Three training is titled CORE Integration, and it includes the potential treatment strategies for the final three sessions, which seek to integrate the upper and lower divisions of the body, as well as coordinating brain hemisphere function. These three sessions have often been referred to as the “sculptural artwork” of structural integration. The level of client participation, especially in the design of the final session is mandatory for success. Phase Three will be taught during the final intensive 12-day seminar.
Each intensive seminar is taught from 9:30am to 5:30pm each day, with half-day classes every 4th day. Reading materials include Rolfing by Ida P. Rolf, Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers, A Dynamic Relation to Gravity by Edward Maupin, and Job’s Body by Deane Juhan. A goal-oriented technical manual written by George P. Kousaleos forms the detailed curriculum outline of each session. Each participant will also have 2 in-class clients for clinical practicum and will document 3 out-of-class clients during the months between the Phases.
The tuition cost of the full program remains at $8,000.00. What is new is the inclusion of Sallie Mae Career Loans, a loan program for those that qualify that can also include 60% more than the tuition for travel, living, food, and lost wage expenses.
The Sallie Mae Career Loan can be paid over 15 years or less, and during the eight months of training only interest is due. There is a no-penalty pay-off at anytime.
For those who wish to utilize a one-year payment plan with the CORE Institute, please contact Pat Kousaleos at: pat@coreinstitute.com.
