| Description | Initially, S.W.I.F.T. was conceived from ideas based on self-help concepts, which had their origins in the sixties and seventies. Groups such as Synanon and 7th Step, utilized the concept of 'Hot Seat' therapy as a means of breaking through the recipients' psychological barriers to face things about themselves they would normally prefer to avoid. When forming S.W.I.F.T., in 1982, we decided to maintain the concept of the 'Hot Seat', but made it into a more therapeutic model, where feelings could be expressed safely in a supportive and caring environment. After each Hot Seat, the recipient is given a supportive, encouraging summary by all attending the Session. Our principles are based on humanistic teachings of Adler, Rogers and Perls. Our aim is to encourage, motivate, and affirm our participants. | |||
