website: http://www.almuthroth.de When were you certified as a PBSP® therapist? June 23rd, 2004.
What is the name of the training group that you were/are in?
Training Group 5 in Basel, and continued training in open workshops with Albert Pesso.
Where do you live/work?
I live and work in Freiburg, Germany.
How did you hear about PBSP®?
I was looking for some body-psychotherapeutic training and my office colleague, Tilman Moser, recommended the Pessos' work.
[see books authored and co-authored by Tilman Moser, on the PBSP® Books page]
Why did you want to become a certified PBSP® therapist? Originally I did not aim at becoming certified. But when, over the years, my work with PBSP® in therapy and the demand for PBSP® groups in my practice increased, and I received a lot of positive feedback from my clients, so I decided to make the attempt. For me it was like an official recognition and "blessing" of my PBSP®-work. My next goal would be to apply for supervision training.
What do you think of PBSP® as a therapy and/or how do you use it in your work? I believe PBSP® is the best Psychotherapy method I ever learned. I use it daily in my Psychotherapy Practice -- in individual therapy and in my two ongoing Pesso Therapy Groups. Last year I also had several weekend groups for patients and interested colleagues as well.
What are your other PBSP® involvements? I have two ongoing Pesso Psychotherapy [PBSP®] Groups. I offer two to three annual open weekend workshops, and apply PBSP® regularly in one-to-one settings. I have offered teaching therapy for some of the members of the Training Group No. 7 in Basel and I lead one of the workshops on PBSP® at the Munich conference "Psychotherapy discovers the body" in May of 2004. I have authored and coauthored articles in the German-Swiss Bulletin and am a member of the current board of the Pesso Association Switzerland Germany (PVSD). Currently I am engaged together with Barbara Fischer-Bartelmann and Helmut Wetzel in a workgroup that aims at establishing PBSP® as one of the officially recognized avenues of obtaining Continuing Education Credits for Psychotherapists.
Other than PBSP® what you do for work and/or other interests? I did learn primarily Rogerian therapy and was a supervisor and trainer in Rogerian therapy. Right now besides Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor Therapy, I work with Rogerian therapy and behavior therapy and do supervision for colleagues and social workers.
Other interests beside therapy are literature, art and hiking.
