A theoretical exposition of the concept “spontaneous healing in children” : a SHIPiC™ perspective

Abstract

SHIP® (spontaneous healing intra-systemic process) (JOS 2002) as a psycho-therapeutic model has developed over many years during which the fascinating occurrence of spontaneous healing in clients was observed. In 2001 The SHIP® Foundation was launched to promote the schooling of registered psychologists in the art of facilitating healing in clients, which inevitably created more balance and integration in clients, families and communities. The development of the spontaneous healing therapeutic technique in children soon followed and SHIPiC™ (spontaneous healing intra-systemic process in children) was trade marketed in 2003. This article is intended to explain the core theoretical principles of this exciting therapeutic model with regard to children.
