Over 40 years ago, Clinical Psychologist and Physiotherapist, Gerda Boyesen developed a range of unique methods designed to stimulate the body's own mechanisms of healing and restoration. These methods could not only develop people's health, but, by supporting healthy responses within the infrastructure of psychotherapy, could bring cognitive insight and personal development. This primitive, instinctual and intelligent system not only forms the basis for psychoperistalsis, but supports the biodynamic theory that the digestive tract is the physiological correlate to Freud's Id. Mary Molloy, Training and Clinical Director of IBPP trained with Gerda Boyesen and worked as her Training and Clinical Director for over five years before she founded the Institute in 1989. The Institute's Practising Members and professional staff are committed to retaining and building on the purity and integrity of Gerda's innovative work. Practising Certificates at each level are issued subject to external examination and assessment by our Professional Standards Committee.
Training is at a post graduate level of competence.
