As part of our ongoing qualitative research at Now I See A Person Institute we interviewed two more families this week. One of the themes they both talked about was the community of support and the power of relationships that helped their healing process as a family.

It is in our title and our signs and business cards - Now I See A Person. That is what we do we see you as a person and not as a diagnosis that may have defined you or limited you in the past. We genuinely care and genuinely have hope that everyone can heal. There is the genuine therapeutic moment when the client and their family no longer see deficiencies and we know they are on the road to 'extraordinarily normal'.

An introduction and reflection of thoughts on process ethics is designed with the goal of constructing and assessing alternative ideas of ethics in therapy. Please go to our website www.nowiseeaperson.com where our intent is to explore how traditional content ethics in therapy can be honored but also supplemented to allow process ethics to flow from the partnership of client and therapist.
