Registration is now open for the 2008-2009 Course:
Developing a Spiritually Informed Approach to Psychotherapy and Counseling

"From the first day the class gathered, I knew I was in the right place -- a community of like-minded souls seeking to learn spiritual practices and therapeutic tools. The instructors were top-rate in sharing their wisdom practices and teaching us how to employ them in our personal and professional lives. The course was a rare gift." -L.G. a student who just completed the 2007-2008 course

The Association is a 501(C3) membership organization whose primary purpose is educational.

History and Mission
Originally, the Center for Spirituality and Psychotherapy (CSP) was formed in 1997 in response to the rapidly growing interest in the relationship between spirituality and psychotherapy, and held its first conference in 1998. It was the first center of this kind within a major psychotherapy and psychoanalytic training institute, the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.

After three annual conferences on spirituality and psychotherapy, which drew several hundred participants each time, it gave birth to the international membership organization, the Association for Spirituality and Psychotherapy (ASP) in 2001. Both ASP and CSP (now the Institute for Psychotherapy, Science and Spirituality (IPSS)) are committed to the study of how psychotherapy can foster the emergence of the spiritual dimension in our lives, and how spiritual practice may enhance our personal lives and the psycho-therapeutic experience. Drawing from all religious and spiritual traditions, psychological perspectives and scientific theory and research, we emphasize how the individual can awaken to the spiritual traditions and practices. To that end the Association offers:

1. Conferences on various themes related to spirituality and psychotherapy
     (for professionals and the public and co-sponsored by IPSS)
2. Continuing education workshops and courses on spirituality and psychotherapy
    (for professionals and the public)
3. Networking Meetings Monthly in New York City
4. Semi-annual "Day of Conversation"
5. Semi-annual Newsletter

The Institute for Spirituality, Science, and Psychotherapy (former the Center for Spirituality and Psychotherapy) has offered training programs for many years for health, mental health, and religious professionals and is currently reworking its training concept for the 21st century.

The Association is a voluntary organization that grows and is sustained by the freely donated time and efforts of its members and its Board of Directors. If you would like to participate in ASP's future, please contact cspofnip@optonline.net.

    Topic Christmas: A Unique Time for Inner Development
    Contents Regardless of an individual's beliefs, culture and traditions, Christmas evokes quiet longings and tender vulnerabilities in the soul. From the Solstice through early January valuable and effective therapeutic psycho-spiritual opportunities are open to all.

    Tonight Lynn Jericho will distinguish the six archetypal experiences of Christmas

    • reveal the two most significant questions living in the soul at Christmastime
    • describe the realities of our Christmas neurochemistry.
    • share the imagination of the Twelve Holy Nights
    • explore an East/West esoteric perspective on Christmas and more.

    Please bring questions, opinions, examples and inspirations regarding your professional and personal experiences with the impact of Christmas. You will leave the evening with new insights on how to work creatively with the holidays in your practice and your personal life.
