The Philadelphia Association

The Philadelphia Association The Philadelphia Association, founded in 1965, offers an open-minded alternative approach to psychotherapy that is unique in Britain. The P. A.

offers therapy to individuals, couples and groups. Therapy opens up a space for thinking that is helpful when things go wrong in our lives. The therapeutic relationship unfolds new, creative and liberating perspectives on difficulties outside. We run two community houses in London. People who are suffering or confused can live with others in these houses for extended periods, using the time spent

with each other to reflect on their experiences. More fulfilling lives become possible as a consequence. runs courses in psychotherapy. The one-year introductory course provides an overview of our way of working and reflects the importance we attach to philosophy. The full training programme encourages independent thinking in the tradition of Laing's objections to the psychiatry of his time, we foster a sceptical view of established institutions and conventional theories. We organise events, including discussions and film screenings, to explore and debate artistic, historical, political and theoretical topics.

Since creating a therapeutic community at Kingsley Hall in 1965, the Philadelphia Association has run more than twenty community houses which have offered asylum and hospitality to people in distress. This work continues at two houses in North London.

The experience of fifty years has shown that personal crises and seemingly inescapable unhappiness may for many people be transformed in households like these. They are places where people can come together to address their difficulties in a situation of shared everyday living.

THE TWO HOUSES
The house in Freegrove Road, Islington, is a large terraced property with a garden and conservatory.
It opened in 1996 and can accommodate seven people.

The Grove is situated in Haringey, close to Finsbury Park. It has been open since 1973 and has space for seven people.

FUNDING
It costs around £20,000 a year to run each house. Administrative costs are kept to a minimum and all our therapists work part-time. In order to ensure the long-term future of the houses, donations are urgently needed. Please call 0207 794 2652, email [email protected] to discuss making a donation.

Our house provide a unique opportunity for people to address personal difficulties in a supportive and thoughtful environment.Contact us on 030 123 1708 or ...
