On September 27, 2024, the MAUP Institute in Khmelnytskyi hosted a scientific and practical seminar on “The Method of Biosuggestive Therapy: Theory and Practice” for 1st-4th year bachelor's and master's degree students majoring in psychology. Participants had the opportunity to learn about the theoretical foundations of biosuggestive therapy, which combines methods of psychological influence and suggestion with biological factors to improve the psycho-emotional state of patients.
The method of biosuggestive therapy (BST) is a psychotherapeutic approach that combines elements of suggestion (suggestion) with physiological influences on the body to achieve a therapeutic effect. This method is based on the assumption that a person's mental and physical states are closely related, and influencing one of them can lead to changes in the other. Biosuggestive therapy is used to treat various psychosomatic illnesses, anxiety disorders, depression, and stressful conditions.
The purpose of the event was to raise participants' awareness of biosuggestive therapy methods and develop the practical skills necessary for their effective application.
The objectives and purpose of the training were to familiarize participants with the basics of biosuggestive therapy, its principles and approaches; to develop skills in the application of relaxation, suggestion, and physiological influence techniques; and to help participants understand the psychosomatic links between psychological state and physical health.
The speakers at the seminar were: Volodymyr Prinz, psychiatrist; medical psychologist; psychotherapist; senior specialist in biosuggestive therapy; master of biosuggestive therapy; deputy chairman of the board of the NGO “Institute of Biosuggestive Therapy”; lecturer at the Department of Psychology of the Khmelnytsky Institute of the MAUP; Natalia Chorna, specialist in biosuggestive therapy; head of the Center for Psychosocial Support and Professional Development; candidate of psychological sciences; Maria Yaremchuk, certified biosuggestive therapist; lecturer at the Department of Psychology of the Khmelnytsky Institute of the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management; Ivan Chorny, certified biosuggestive therapist; 4th-year student majoring in Psychology (053) at the Khmelnytsky Institute of the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management.
