"From the
first day the class gathered, I knew I was in the right place -- a
community of like-minded souls seeking to learn spiritual practices and
therapeutic tools. The instructors were top-rate in sharing their
wisdom practices and teaching us how to employ them in our personal and
professional lives. The course was a rare gift."
-L.G. a student who just completed the 2007-2008 course

The Association is a 501(C3) membership organization whose primary purpose is educational.
History and Mission
Originally, the Center for Spirituality and Psychotherapy (CSP) was formed
in 1997 in response to the rapidly growing interest in the relationship
between spirituality and psychotherapy, and held its first
conference in 1998. It was the first center of
this kind within a major psychotherapy and psychoanalytic
training institute, the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.
After three annual conferences on spirituality and psychotherapy, which
drew several hundred participants each time, it gave birth to the
international membership organization, the Association for Spirituality and
Psychotherapy (ASP) in 2001. Both ASP and CSP (now the Institute
for Psychotherapy, Science and Spirituality (IPSS)) are committed to the study of how
psychotherapy can foster the emergence of the spiritual dimension
in our lives, and how spiritual practice may enhance our personal
lives and the psycho-therapeutic experience. Drawing from all
religious and spiritual traditions, psychological perspectives
and scientific theory and research, we emphasize how the
individual can awaken to the spiritual traditions and practices.
To that end the Association offers:
1. Conferences on various themes related to spirituality and psychotherapy
(for professionals and the public and co-sponsored by IPSS)
2. Continuing education workshops and courses on spirituality and psychotherapy
(for professionals and the public)
3. Networking Meetings Monthly in New York City
4. Semi-annual "Day of Conversation"
5. Semi-annual Newsletter
The Institute for Spirituality, Science, and Psychotherapy (former the Center
for Spirituality and Psychotherapy) has offered training programs for many years
for health, mental health, and religious professionals and is currently reworking
its training concept for the 21st century.
The Association is a voluntary organization that grows and is sustained
by the freely donated time and efforts of its members and its Board of Directors. If you would
like to participate in ASP's future, please contact cspofnip@optonline.net.
Member Benefits include:

Breaking the Trance of Denial

| Contents |
If you want to break this silence and witness the truth, turn off the TV and throw the newspaper in the trash. Turn up public radio,
step into the public square, and listen to the artists in our midst. There is where the blood flows. Only there will you hear the screams
echo from the parents of the dead. There is the only reality that cannot be taken away by distraction. There is where it takes courage
to accept the responsibility of how we have been hiding behind the rhetoric of those who say they know how to "fix it."
Don't fool yourselves into believing the problems we must shoulder rest with our elected politicians or the lack of a draft or the aggressiveness
of the enemy or the leftovers of 9/11. The problem is all those silent deaths that not only come from the soldier youth of our country and
from Iraq and Afghanistan, but all deaths related to this current war. We must also add the forlorn parents and the families of the dead
that we do not see or hear because the space for our grief is filled with a constant barrage of advertisements and commercials telling us life is good.
