ABSTRACT
Psychotherapy should be reflective upon its own dynamics, in order that the practitioner can become more conscious, convinced, and skilled in the healing and transformative entelechy. Severe psychiatric conditions, such as the major psychoses, have hereditary components and may compromise this healing potency. Healing intelligence may be compromised, diminished, or paralysed if any part of this body-soma platform is damaged. Healing intelligence, then, can be crippled or impeded by poor environmental nurturing or biological impairment. The opposite is therefore true: a healthy, vital psyche/soma platform allows greater and faster healing. Transformative healing work requires a change in parts of the personality where the sense of identity resides. Healing intelligence and transformative emotions are released from their confinements in the unconscious. Ego consciousness plays a variable part throughout the drama and while its suspension is necessary at certain times, its active participation is part of the full healing process.
