ABSTRACT

Currently, the organisation of Sexual Grounding Therapy (SGT) could be described as a franchise. The work is organised by licence holders who pay a percentage of the income generated from running the SGT courses, in the country for which they hold a licence, to the central organisation. The Foundation for Sexual Grounding Therapy (FSGT) still exists as the legal entity, having the responsibility, amongst other things, as the awarding body for qualifications in SGT, for liaising with an independent complaints committee and for making links with the scientific world. Some of the revenue generated from the licence holders goes to the founder, Willem Poppeliers, and the rest goes to finance the organisation. Although there may be, inevitably, some transference between the trainer or therapist and the group they’re working with, most of the transference is explicitly taking place between the participants, in the process of enacting the roles of parents, grandparents, etc.
