1. Exactly what is the New Psychology?

The New Psychology is an alternative therapy approach that is holistic in nature. Holistic means you are viewed as a whole person, with mind, body and spirit. The Holistic New Psychology focuses on your strengths and shows you how to use them to become strong, creative, healthy and happy. The Holistic New Psychology does not give you a treatment and send you home. Instead, you learn how to find your own answers and trust your inner core. It is based on learning research, energy awareness, body awareness, healthy emotional expression and physical laws.

2. How is the New Psychology different from Talk Therapy, Behavior Therapy, Psychoanalysis, and other traditional psychological approaches?

The old psychology is based on a medical model. The labels you receive are frequently based on judgmental beliefs about different cultures, lifestyles and gender. The New Psychology breaks free from these mental biases and offers you reliable learning research and safe, effective answers to real problems. Visit here for a complete holistic psychology definition.

3. How do I know the New Psychology Information is credible?

Dr. Doris Jeanette earned her Doctor of Psychology degree from Baylor University and completed a Post Doc from Temple Medical School with the eminent Dr. Joseph Wolpe in Behavior Therapy and Sex Therapy. This means she is grounded in learning research and the traditional methods of psychological healing.

After her Post Doc, while working at the Feminist Therapy Collective in Philadelphia, Dr. Jeanette began to develop her own system of emotional health and mental health. When clients did not respond to traditional methods, she began to create new ways of reaching them. Some Borderline, Chronic Depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder clients seemed lost in a place unreachable.

Doris remembered how she felt as a child sitting in her maple tree and walking in the forest on the farm. The healthy energy in Mother Nature guided Dr. Jeanette back to her whole body living and the vital energy of the cosmos. She also studied with master energy teachers such as Jack Swartz and Barbara Brennon to become more skillful.

Opening her heart and solar plexus catapulted Dr. Jeanette into new, emotional territory that was exciting and thrilling. The vibrant moment was where Doris wanted to live. Dr. Doris Jeanette’s unique contribution is discovering how people can access the vital energy in the heart and emotional body for holistic health and vitality.

4. How can I be sure the New Psychology will work for me?

You have to decide what works for you. Many people are not ready to be responsible for their own health and happiness. Not everyone is ready to dive deep and go for the inner gold.

The goal of the New Psychology is to give you the tools and information you need to be the person you were born to be. Click below to read a description of the type of person who usually benefits from Dr. Jeanette’s holistic psychology approach.

5. How do I get a degree in Holistic Psychology? Are there any schools that teach an alternative therapy?

If you land on a web site that says it is a Holistic Psychology school with a pop up window or google ads, keep looking.

At this moment there are not many valid, trustworthy professional degrees in Holistic Psychology offered by a school which is accredited. What this means is if you want to be licensed by any state in the USA, you need to get a degree from a school that is accredited. Check with each school as their accreditation can change at any time.

The Center for New Psychology offers a Holistic New Psychology training program. This is a clinical program, not an academic program. Therapists learn how to add Holistic New Psychology information, tools and wisdom to their own unique way of helping people.

In addition, there are some schools which offer psychology programs that are more holistic and alternative than the traditional psychology schools.

Here are two alternative therapy schools to check out if you are interested.
