Andre
Auw, PhD, has a Masters Degree in Theology, A Doctorate in Human
Behavior from USIU in San Diego, California, and post-doctoral work
at Loyola-Chicago, and Duquesne U. in Pittsburgh, in Counseling.
His professional life began as a Catholic priest giving retreats
to nuns and priests primarily, as well as functioning as a counselor.
Deciding to focus on a career in counseling, he left the priesthood,
and joined the staff of Dr. Carl Rogers at WBSI a think-tank in
La Jolla, Calif.
Out of this organization came the Center For Studies of the Person,
which he co-founded along with Dr. Carl Rogers, and which he served as
Director. The Center became famous for innovative programs and projects,
as well as management consulting. He has taught at universities
in the United States and consulted with organizations in Europe,
Japan, and Southeast Asia. His most recent publications are: Gentle
Roads to Survival, Aslan Publ., and The Gift of Wounding, Aslan
Publ.
He began an innovative approach to counseling and consulting that
has been helpful and rewarding. He invited clients to spend two
days with him, affording ample time to create a trusting relationship.
They started with relaxing exercise for the body, nature walks,
the use of visualisation, meditation, the sharing of meals and personal
dreams and the enjoyment of humor. Thus, body, mind and spirit were
employed to attend to personal concerns and the healing of the whole
person. It appears that this in-depth sharing is far more helpful
than merely verbal and rational ways of problem solving. For executives
and managers, this method enables them to experience personal healing
and stress reduction as well as renewed confidence in their ability
to function efficiently in their organizations.
