The Somatic Psychology programs provide students with an opportunity to develop a basic ground of somatic psychotherapeutic practice and an overview of both somatic and traditional psychotherapeutic approaches. Courses explore the body/mind/spirit connection and integrate somatic-oriented material with contemporary psychological and developmental theories and practices including attachment and neurobiology. Students study elements of breath, touch, movement, somatic awareness and sensing from such somatic approaches as Focusing, body/mind movement, process-oriented psychology, Gestalt practices, Hakomi, Somatic Experience, relational somatics, and the various branches of Reichian psychotherapy. The programs interweave these understandings with psychodynamic, cognitive and post-modern perspectives. They cultivate those capacities needed to become an effective therapist, educator or health practitioner.     Accreditation Information: California Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education; Board of Behavioral Sciences; Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's Degree  Pre-Requisite Courses None Required  International Student Requirements Santa Barbara Graduate Institute welcomes applications from international students with Bachelor's Degrees from Foreign Universities and Colleges, but you must submit transcript evaluations prepared by a professional agency, such as Educational Perspectives , Educational Credentials Evaluators, Inc. or World Education Services .
