Abstract
Terapia, a new training course in integrative child psychotherapy, is the brain child of Bozena Merrick, who shared with Vivienne Silver-Leigh why she set it up, how it is progressing and her vision of its future development.
Bozena, like others fleeing from the Communist regime of the 80's, came to the UK from Poland, in 1985; Her qualifications as a trained psychologist were not recognized, so she spent eight years at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education, gaining UKCP and BACP qualifications and advanced diplomas, with a transpersonal and humanistic orientation.
