Alyson Quinn practices as a counselor and group therapist in Vancouver, Canada.
This approach to group work is worth taking a look at. It is a
strength-focused model that incorporates the whole person and gets
right to the essential issues while being efficient with group
time. As a group facilitator using these tools I found it effective
and honoring of clients' experiences. The use of body movement in
group is also an essential element that helps the transformation
process. -- Michael Koo, MA, Registered Clinical Counselor
Alyson Quinn has put together a therapeutic technique which can
help people to find their authenticity and live their lives free of
the life imposed upon them by authority figures. By confronting the
issues in a caring group setting true healing of one's life can
occur and the mind, body, and spirit all benefit from the change.
-- Bernie Siegel M.D., author of A Book of Miracles and Faith, Hope
& Healing
Experiential Unity Theory-AKA Soul Theory-allows the clients to
transcend the confines of their intellects and go to deeper ground
where profound change can take place. Quinn offers therapists and
clients creative tools for uniting their psyche with their soul. An
essential element if authentic transformation is to take place in
the individual. Grounded in the roots of Jung, Erickson, R.D.
Laing, Satir, and most importantly the traditional knowledge of
First peoples, Experiential Unity Theory is a necessity for any
group therapist who knows the habituated ways of doing group
therapy are not leading to substantial change for the client. --
Crystal Allinott, MSW, Psychotherapist
