Practicum

The practicum is the practical training in perception and supports the ability to evaluate and work therapeutically within the method of craniosacral biodynamics.

In the practicum a student learns to apply the method practically, so that the theory, philosophy, concepts and principles can be felt and experienced.

The practicum is an integral part of the training.
One can only learn craniosacral biodynamics through practice and experience.

Depending on the level of training different competences are being practiced.

At the beginning the practicum is especially oriented towards learning the needed skills for craniosacral biodynamics. In time further therapeutic skills will be added.

The different segments of the practicum take place partly within a seminar, partly between seminars as self-study.

The practice sessions during and between seminars and the support through experienced assistants allows the student to learn to work effectively.

ICSB gives the appropriate guidance in how to practice and builds the practice step by step.

The following guidelines are for all ICSB foundation trainings outside Switzerland. In Switzerland different rules apply (s. German part of the webpage)

The practicum consists of the following segments.

• give and document 150 practice sessions outside and between seminars
