Hoffman Process).
Dear Doctor or Therapist,
Your client has expressed the desire to participate in the Hoffman Process. We require that he/she discuss this choice with you. If you are not already familiar with the Hoffman Process, please request and read a copy of our Guidelines for Health Professionals and/or call the Hoffman
Institute at our office: 01903 88 99 90. For more articles and research findings we recommend visiting our website: www.hoffmanprocess.co.uk
We do not wish to interfere with therapeutic relationships in any way. We feel it is appropriate for you and your client together to determine the appropriateness of his/her participation. The Hoffman
Process is an experiential course based on humanistic and transpersonal principles. Over the past
45 years many therapists have recommended or allowed their clients to participate in the Process as an adjunct to the therapeutic experience. In such cases we require that their therapists be informed, and in certain cases, give their consent.
In the Hoffman Process, students are asked to examine the concerns of their present adult lives in light of their childhood relationships with their parents. The Process is experiential in nature, not conceptual or abstract. Therefore, students’ emotions come into play as they engage in this process of self-examination. We encourage direct communication and honesty from all students.
During the Process, many students find that they can remember and confront many troublesome issues that they do not feel comfortable dealing with in their day-to-day lives. While this is valuable for most, it may not be appropriate for some individuals.
If your client participates in the Hoffman Process, it may be important to their progress for the
Institute to know from you, or for you to later know from us, certain kinds of information about them.
Such a handover may be initiated by you, or by the Institute. You and your client should discuss your mutual willingness for this to occur if deemed useful by either party.
If you agree that your client’s participation in the Hoffman Process is appropriate at this time, that you will be available to him/her by telephone during the Process, that you will meet him/her within three working days of the Process ending, and that you (and your client) are willing for you to exchange pertinent information with the Institute as stated above, please indicate your willingness to allow him/her to participate in the Hoffman Process by signing below.
