Abstract

The Independent Practitioners Network (IPN) is an increasingly substantial feature of the UK psychopractice landscape, with the celebration this autumn of its tenth anniversary since founding. By the term ‘psychopractice’ we include any activity in which people engage with themselves and others in enquiring into their personal functioning, their relationships, their politics, their deficits, their wishes, dreams, spirituality and so on. Thus ‘psychopractice’ includes both psychoanalysis and co-counselling, both NLP and the native American tradition….

What follows is an updated version of the ‘Briefing Document’ which has been displayed on the ‘ipnosis’ website for a number of years http://ipnosis.postle.net The original document sought to answer the questions that clients, employers and other interested parties might have about IPN.
