Dr. Barbara Brennan has been comprehensively researching
the Human Energy Field using High Sense Perception for over
35 years. Her work has
resulted in the development
of Brennan Healing
Science—a healing modality
based on the Human
Energy-Consciousness
System and its relationship
to health and dis-ease.
This holistic work
combines High Sense Perception skills and hands-on energy
healing techniques to assist individuals with their personal
process of healing. Brennan Healing Science has helped tens
of thousands of people
with their physical,
psychological, emotional
and spiritual challenges,
so they can discover their
own unique path in life.
This is a transformation
that very often leads to a
more centered, balanced, and loving life, which in turn results
in personal and professional fulfillment. The powerful healing
work of Brennan Healing Science touches every aspect of a
person’s life to improve the quality of life.
Those who are trained in Brennan Healing Science
are referred to as
Brennan Healing Science
Practitioners. Dis-ease
conditions exist as
imbalances and
dysfunction in the
Human Energy-
Consciousness System,
also referred to as the
Human Energy Field or Aura. The Brennan Healing Science
Practitioner works with the client and their Human Energy-
Consciousness System to restore and maintain health and
well-being.
Brennan Healing
Science Practitioners
also work as members
of a healing team, and
are able to facilitate
the physical healing
of many dis-ease
conditions, quicken recovery from surgery and trauma,
reduce pain, and assist with emotional and spiritual
healing.
Principlesof Practice
Adopted by the Faculty of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing —March 3, 2003
Preamble
These Principles of Practice are intended to aid thehealing work of the Brennan Healing Science Practitioner(“BHS Practitioner”), and to assist the public in selecting ahealer with whom to create a rewarding healing relationship.
As a graduate of either the four-year Bachelor of ScienceDegree or Professional Studies Diploma Programs of theBarbara Brennan School of Healing (“BBSH”), the BHSPractitioner has completed an intensive study and practice ofpersonal transformation, energy awareness and High SensePerception, hands-on healing techniques, professional practice,creative arts, integrative care, and awareness of the connectionsbetween mind, body and emotions.
The BHS Practitioner’s primary objective is to support eachclient in his or her unique healing journey with competence,integrity, and compassion. The BHS Practitioner’s commitmentis to create a safe, empathic, and life-affirming container tobest facilitate the client’s healing and transformational process.In the broader context of community and world service, theBHS Practitioner applies his or her knowledge and trainingin support of the evolution of the human spirit.
In any given client session, the BHS Practitioner mayemploy varied techniques and incorporate elements ofmultiple modalities depending on the unique circumstancesand needs of each client, and on the qualifications and skillsof the BHS Practitioner. No set of rules can fully anticipateor regulate the variety of situations that the BHS Practitionermay face. The following Principles of Practice instead addressimportant aspects of the BHS Practitioner’s intentionality andconsciousness that the BHS Practitioner honestly monitorsand clarifies during the course of the client relationship,both generally and in the moment.
Intention, Integrity, and Professional Responsibility
1. The BHS Practitioner commits to use his or her training,skills, and intention in service of the health, welfare, andspiritual healing of the client.
2. The BHS Practitioner provides those services commensuratewith his or her training and competence, and refers theclient to other healers and care providers in other disciplines as appropriate and necessary.
3. The BHS Practitioner keeps current and competent in hisor her field(s) of practice, through supervision, consultations,and continuing education.
4. The BHS Practitioner does not offer, promise, or providemedical diagnoses or prescriptions (unless otherwiselicensed to do so), and does not promise medical curesor recoveries.
Client Communication and Professional Boundaries
5. The BHS Practitioner clearly, accurately, and truthfullycommunicates to the client, prior to commencement ofservices, the general nature of the services that may beprovided, fees and billing practices, and other policiesand procedures of the BHS Practitioner. The BHS Practitioneralso obtains the client’s consent to these services, or asappropriate the consent of the client’s legal guardian,prior to service.
6. The BHS Practitioner maintains professional boundaries withthe client. The BHS Practitioner is sensitive to real andascribed differences in awareness and power between theBHS Practitioner and the client, and does not exploit suchdifferences or perceptions during or after the professionalrelationship for the personal gratification or benefit of theBHS Practitioner. The BHS Practitioner supports the clientin avoiding or resolving dependency on the BHS Practitioner.

Studies in this area invoke a new depthof integrity, define standards and parametersof professional conduct, establish a codeof healer ethics, and initiate continuingdialogue with other healthcare professionals.
The Professional Practice curriculumaddresses the following areas to supportthe development of the healing professional:
Ethics• A foundation of BBSH and Brennan Work is the standard
of ethical practice that is taught and practiced. The ethicscurriculum is designed to enable healers to articulate and standstrong on their own ethical ground. By honoring and affirmingour personal ethic stand, we recognize it as a place of truth—a source of power and safety. It also provides a clear, cleanspace in which clients are free to experience their true selves.
• Principles of Practice for Brennan Healing Science Practitionerswas written and adopted by the BBSH faculty. Our curriculumfollows this guide to ethical practice. It is included in theIntroduction section of this catalog.
Self-Care for the Healer• Personal health, well-being, safety and integrity come first in
any professional practice. The care and tuning of the healer’sphysical/energetic body is a vital component of the studiesat BBSH, as well as throughout one’s career as a healer.
Professionalism• Over the four years, students learn the practicalities of creating
and maintaining both a professional presence and a healingpractice. Courses include creating a vision for healership, thehealing environment, marketing, record-keeping, and the legaland financial aspects of private practice.
The Integrated Healing Model• Integrating a hands-on healing practice into the medical/healing
community is a challenging but necessary task if the healer isto contribute his/her talents freely, and if the clients are tobenefit from the vast array of healing resources available fromtraditional and complementary healthcare practices. All ofthe courses of the department are geared toward providinggraduating healers with the resources necessary to effectivelypractice, communicate, and navigate within the broader healing community.

HEALTH HISTORY REPORT (ALL APPLICANTS)All applicants must complete a physical and mental health history report. This report is found on your student application
form in the Catalog Addendum. Applicants experiencing a physical or mental condition which may be detrimental to the
applicant or the School will be reviewed by the Student Affairs Manager (and the Class Deans, as appropriate) prior to
admission. Upon review of all pertinent information, the School will make recommendations that support the applicant’s
well-being and health. The School reserves the right to deny admission and request that the applicant reapply at a time
when the applicant’s physical and mental health permit. An official physician or psychiatrist release form will be requested
from the applicant. The School does this without prejudice. Applicants who have been hospitalized for psychological
difficulties will be asked to wait five years after hospitalization to apply.
INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS (ALL PROGRAMS)International applicants must present evidence of having received a U.S. high school diploma, or the equivalent thereof.
All transcripts of secondary and postsecondary work are to be sent to the Registrar with English translations attached to any
documents, transcripts or diplomas written in a foreign language.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
Students seeking admission to one of the School’s programs complete an admissions application and submit copies of
all diplomas, GED exam results, and/or transcripts. Applications cannot be processed until all information and supporting
documents have been received. Undergraduate students may be admitted on a provisional basis with the consent of the
Class Dean and Department Heads. Provisionally admitted undergraduate students may complete no more than 30 credits
or one year of course work. If all admission requirements have not been met by this time, the student will be dropped from
the School.
STUDENTS WITH INTERRUPTIONS IN TRAINING OR TERMINATION
A student who experiences a break in enrollment, or who has been suspended or dismissed, must apply for readmission.
Readmission is not automatic because of enrollment limitations and changes in academic regulations. Questions concerning
readmission should be directed to the Registrar and/or Class Dean.
If a student is experiencing a physical or mental condition detrimental to the student or to the School, the Class Dean,
and Department Heads, in consultation with the Student Affairs Manager, will recommend appropriate action. The School
may request that a student be withdrawn officially, without prejudice or academic penalty. Readmission is contingent upon
review and recommendations by the Class Dean, Department Heads, and Student Affairs Manager, and upon receiving a
physician or psychiatrist release form.
1-Year Absence
Students who have been out of the program for one year may apply to the subsequent year of training.
2-Year Absence
Students who have been out of the program for two or more years and wish to reenroll in the program must be tested
to determine their current proficiency in Healing Science skills and in Psych-Spiritual Development skills. The student will
then be placed in the year with the skills proficiency level that is comparable to that of the returning student. Students may
be asked to repeat one, two, three, or four years of study in order to graduate from the program. In order to graduate, the
student must have successfully completed all required coursework.
Any student who has been out of the program for two or more years and is reapplying for admission must do the following:
1. Contact the BBSH Registrar to obtain a current copy of the Healing Science and Psych-Spiritual Development Skills
List from the last year completed.
2. Receive the Skills List, practice the skills, then make an appointment for a 3-hour skills evaluation assessment
session with a BBSH Teacher who has been approved to assess the proficiency levels for those skills. (Check with
the BBSH Registrar for Skills Evaluators available for this purpose.) The Skills Evaluator will evaluate the skills level
and refer his/her evaluation to the Deans for final determination.
3. The Skills List from the Registrar will also include Psych-Spiritual Development skills questions that must be
answered in writing (typewritten) and mailed to the Skills Evaluator one week before the scheduled in-person
evaluation appointment.
4. If, in the initial judgment of the Skills Evaluator, the student is able to pass the skills during the in-person
examination, the Skills Evaluator will schedule a time to teach and evaluate any new skills that the applicant missed
and needs to learn and pass before being admitted to the appropriate year of study.
5. The Skills Evaluator will complete the Skills Evaluation Form for both the Healing Science and Psych-Spiritual
Development skills and submit it to the BBSH Registrar for final evaluation, review, and decision of the Deans.
6. The BBSH Registrar will inform the student in writing of the outcome of his/her application.
A reapplication fee will apply to cover administration and Skills Evaluator costs. An additional hourly fee to teach new
skills and/or if further evaluation is necessary may also apply.

AdjunctiveRequirements
PERSONAL PROCESS REQUIREMENTSIn order to enhance the student’s personal development and to safeguard their emotional health throughout their training,
it is a School policy that Brennan Healing Science Professional Studies diploma students and Bachelor of Science in
Brennan Healing Science degree students have Personal Process sessions two times per month (for a total of 18 sessions
evenly spaced between September and the day before the last class in June). Sessions such as couples therapy, massage,
acupuncture and meditation do not fulfill this requirement.
Brennan Integration Work (BIW) meets the personal process requirement. BIW enhances a student’s personal process
with bodywork, energy work, and psycho-dynamic work. The Brennan Integration Practitioner (BIP) works in conjunction
with the student’s needs during each year of study. Each BIP is a skilled professional who has successfully completed
several years of advanced training at BBSH. All those qualified to offer BIW are listed in the most current edition of the
Directory of Brennan Integration Practitioners on the school website.
Students can also fulfill their Personal Process requirements by working with a therapist, or by combining their personal
support with both a therapist and a BIP. Students are permitted to do long-distance work with their BIP, although we highly
recommend that not all work be done long distance.
For students who choose to work with a therapist, the therapist must be a psychiatrist or someone who has a professional
degree, such as an M.S.W. or Ph.D. in clinical psychology or counseling psychology, or who is a graduate of an institution
such as The Core Energetics Institute or The Bioenergetic Institute.
(See the list of acceptable credentials on the next page.) It is the
student’s responsibility to ask the therapist if he/she possesses any of
the credentials listed. Students are not permitted to do long-distance
therapy with their therapists.
Personal Process must be kept up during the year to remain in the
Program. The School reserves the right to dismiss any student who
does not adhere to the Personal Process requirement. A total of at
least 18 sessions must be completed each school year in order to
register for the following year.
These sessions must be kept up with Resident Training classes as
follows:
6 sessions by Class 2+ 4 sessions by Class 3+ 8 sessions by Class 518 sessions total
Personal Process Guidelines1. At Class 1, students are given a form which
they must complete and sign verifying each
of their sessions. This form is required for
admittance to Resident Training Classes 2, 3
and 5. Students may begin fulfilling their
Personal Process requirement in September.
2. Students are responsible for getting
verification of their sessions from their
Personal Process provider. Students should
keep all verification on file so that it is
available in case it is requested by the
School.
3. A two-hour session only counts as one
session, because we believe students need
at least two sessions per month, regardless
of whether they are one or two hours
long. However, we understand that rare
circumstances may exist where exceptions
need to be made. Students must request
and state the reason for the exception at
least two weeks prior to the date when
one two-hour session is to be counted as
two sessions. All requests are to be mailed
or faxed to the Small Class Teachers.
Emergency requests are to be made as
soon as possible. Exceptions are granted
on a case-by-case basis according to the
true need of the student. Each case is to
be presented separately. Exceptions will
not be granted if the student waits until
the Personal Process requirements are due.
4. In order to keep therapeutic relationships
clear and supportive, students cannot be
engaged in a bartering, sexual or romantic
relationship with their Personal Process
provider. Therefore, no credit is given for
Personal Process requirements in these
situations.
5. All sessions must be individual and in
person with the exception of some
long-distance Brennan Integration Work.

EvaluationProcedures
All faculty members have a deep commitment to
supporting the student’s Personal Process and holding the
required standards set by BBSH, so that the quality and
integrity of the healing work can be maintained. It is our
sincere desire and intention to provide all BBSH students
with timely and specific information about their progress,
so that all blocks to learning can be addressed with
support, compassion, and honor for the deep healing
and change students encounter in their work here.
The following evaluation/feedback system is in place to
keep students informed of their progress and any concerns
the faculty has of the student’s ability to complete the year,
move on to the next year, or graduate. It is the intention
of the faculty to provide continual updates to students
about the progress they are making throughout the
Program. We want every student to know exactly where
he/she stands, and we encourage any student who is
not certain to ask his/her Small Class Teacher. Students
also receive verbal feedback, suggestions, and evaluations
from their Small Class Teacher during each week of
Resident Training.
There are several ways a student will receive written
evaluation and feedback:
• Student Progress Report
• Student Letter Form
• Distance Learning Modules
• Final Exam
Student Progress Report
The student’s skills progress is recorded on a Student
Progress Report during the Resident Training session by
the Small Class Teacher with input from the student’s other
faculty members, such as Supervisors and the Class Dean.
This report tells students whether their performance of a
Healing Science, Psych-Spiritual Development or Creative
Arts skill, or Professional Practice or Integrative Care
requirement, is either Passing (P) or Not Passing (N).
The Student Progress Report also lists the class week in
which the student will be taught a skill and the class
week by which the student should have passed the skill.
Students must pass all the skills listed on their Student
Progress Report in order to progress to the next class year,
or to graduate.
54
Student Letter Form
At times, the faculty may need to communicate
their concerns to a student about his/her progress.
Such concerns may include the following:
1. The student is having difficulty passing a Healing
Science, Psych-Spiritual Development or Professional
Practice requirement.
2. The student is having difficulty or is unwilling to
engage in his/her personal process and take
self-responsibility for his/her actions and attitudes.
3. The student is experiencing physical or psychological
difficulties that significantly affect his/her ability to
perform the class work.
4. The student will not pass the current year of study
and will need to repeat the year.
5. The student will pass the current year of study but
with conditional requirements for the following year.
6. The student does not adhere to the School policies
and ethics, and/or is consistently violating class
requirements, procedures or ground rules.
This information is conveyed to the student either directly
on the Student Progress Report (may not pass/will not
pass), or by a Student Letter Form and a meeting with the
faculty clearly indicating both the issue and the severity
of the issue, and defining if the student is in jeopardy of
not moving on to the next class or not graduating. The form
will indicate if the student is to be placed on probation,
and the steps the student needs to take to be returned to
good standing.
Integrative Distance Learning Modules
Distance Learning Modules (DLMs) are graded on a
pass/fail basis. Small Class Teachers may write feedback
on each student’s lessons, helping them to go deeper
into their developing healership. Students are required to
complete all DLMs by the assigned due dates.
General Education Courses
Students receive feedback on their performance in
General Education online courses directly from their
instructor via e-mail and online postings. Students enrolled
in General Education courses take timed online exams.
Grades earned for General Education are posted online
and mailed directly to students at the end of each course.
General Education courses are graded on a 4.0 Grade
Point Average System.
Final Exam
Each year students take a comprehensive Final Exam
that evaluates knowledge in Healing Science,
Psych-Spiritual Development, Creative Arts,
Professional Practice, and Integrative
Care. The Final Exam is graded
on a pass/fail basis; a
passing grade is 70%.
Final Exams are
administered in
English and
Japanese only.

basis, depending on the program and course. Each
course’s grading system is clearly described in the course
syllabus and student workbook.
Transfer Credits and AccreditationUndergraduate students may transfer up to 30 semester
credits of general education requirements from institutions
accredited by an accrediting organization recognized by
the U.S. Department of Education.
The Barbara Brennan School of Healing is licensed
by the Florida Department of Education, Commission
for Independent Education to offer a Bachelor of Science
degree in Brennan Healing Science and diplomas in
Brennan Healing Science Professional Studies Years 1–4
and Brennan Healing Science Advanced Studies Years 1–3.
Presently, BBSH is not accredited. BBSH does not make
any claims regarding the transferability of credits to other
colleges or universities. Transferability of credits is
determined by the receiving institution and is based on a
variety of factors, including course content, accreditation
and licensure.
Credit by ExaminationStudents may, under certain circumstances, apply to
earn credit by examination. Applications for credit by
examination are reviewed by the Student Affairs Manager
who determines if the student is eligible to take a challenge
examination. Eligibility is based on evidence of relevant
education, training, and experience. Students who are
unsuccessful on a challenge examination will be required
to complete the corresponding course in order to be
awarded credit.
Semester Credit HoursAll coursework at the Barbara Brennan School of
Healing is measured in semester credit hours. One
semester credit hour is awarded for every 15 classroom
contact hours of lecture, 30 classroom contact hours
of laboratory instruction, or 45 contact hours of
internship/externship plus outside preparation or the
equivalent. Measurement in credit hours or the listing
of credits for courses is not intended to imply transferability
into college programs at other postsecondary institutions.
Transferability is at the discretion of the receiving
institution.
57
Course Numbering SystemBBSH does not participate in the Florida Statewide
Course Numbering System. All BBSH courses are identified
by prefixes and numbers. The course prefixes refer to the
subject matter area for a particular course. Prefixes used in
the BBSH course numbering system are:
BH Brennan Healing SciencePD Psych-Spiritual DevelopmentCA Creative ArtsPP Professional PracticeIC Integrative CareDL Integrative Distance LearningAP Anatomy and PhysiologyEN EnglishPS PsychologyMA MathematicsHU HumanitiesSC Science
Course numbers indicate the year during which studentsnormally take a course. These are:
100 Year 1 Courses200 Year 2 Courses300 Year 3 Courses400 Year 4 Courses500 Year 5 Courses600 Year 6 Courses700 Year 7 Courses
Interruptions in TrainingMake-Up WorkStudents are not admitted to Resident Training Classes
without completion of all assigned Integrative Distance
Learning Modules. Students who miss a week of Resident
Training must agree to and sign an Exceptions Form, which
stipulates how and when missed work is to be made up.
Healing Science and Psych-Spiritual Development Skills
missed during an absence may be made up at tutorials
offered during the subsequent Resident Training week.
TardinessAll students are provided a schedule of class meeting
times and are expected to arrive on time. Students who are
late for a Resident Training week will be marked absent for
those days missed.
Break in EnrollmentStudents who experience a break in enrollment, who
have been suspended, or have been dismissed must apply
for readmission. Readmission is not automatic because of
enrollment limitations and changes in academic regulations.
Students who wish to reenroll in the program must be
tested to determine their current skills proficiency for
program year placement. The School therefore places no
maximum time limit on a student’s break in enrollment. The
student will be placed in the program year with the skills
proficiency level that is comparable to that of the returning
student. See pages 48–49 for more details. Questions
concerning readmission should be directed to the Registrar
and/or Class Dean.
AbsencesStudents enrolled in the Brennan Healing Science
Professional Studies Years 1–4 and Bachelor of Science in
Brennan Healing Science programs are required to
complete a minimum of four entire Resident Training weeks
per year and may not miss more than two full weeks
during the four years. Students who are not able to attend a
Resident Training class are asked to notify their Class Dean,
Small Class Teacher and Buddy (see below) as soon as
possible before the beginning of class.
Students enrolled in A&P I, A&P II, A&P III and A&P IV
are expected to attend all scheduled class days. In emergencies,
illness, or special life events, a student may be absent for a
limited number of days with prior approval by the instructor.
Students enrolled in A&P I may be absent for no more than
2 days. Students enrolled in A&P II, A&P III or A&P IV may
be absent for no more than 1 day.
Buddy SystemStudents pick a Student Buddy on the first day of Resident
Training Class #1. They keep in touch with this person by
exchanging home addresses and phone numbers, and
check in with each other at the beginning of each Resident
Training session. If someone’s Buddy is not in class, we ask
the student to call that person, and also notify the Class Dean
or Small Class Teacher.
Advertisements/Bulletin BoardsThe student bulletin boards are exclusively for the purpose
of sharing information and networking within each class.
Posting information on another class’s bulletin board is
permitted with the approval of the Student Council.
58
Student Lifeand Services
Student CouncilsDuring the first Resident Training session of each year,
students elect a Student Council. Usually 3 to 5 representativesare chosen, although as few as one representative from eachsmall class may be elected. The Student Council then electsa President who communicates with the designated schoolrepresentative.
The Student Council usually meets at each Resident Trainingsession with the full class attendance to discuss importanttopics, and students use these meetings to share their needs,questions and concerns with fellow students.
Family DaysEach year during Class Week 4, BBSH invites families of our
students to visit us during Resident Training—and to learnfirsthand about school programs. Scheduled activities for bothadults and children are available during these fun-filled days!
Professional/Academic AdvisingProfessional and academic advising is provided to the
student by the Small Class Teacher and Class Dean. Smallclass size and low student-to-teacher ratio allow time for personal attention and interaction. In addition, Teachers haveweekly office hours when they are available by telephone.Professional and academic advising includes the following:
• Assisting students in clarifying, articulating and attainingacademic and life goals.
• Facilitating each student’s academic adjustment tothe School’s environment.
• Explaining and clarifying the School’s courses andgraduation requirements.
• Educating family members of students by providingon-site family visitation during one class each year.
• Serving as advocates and mediators for students.
When a student’s academic progress is below establishedstandards, a team conference is held with the student to outlinea course of action that best supports the student’s success.Team conferences are attended by faculty members who willbest support the student. In addition, each Year 4 student isassigned a Case Leader and a Project Advisor who supportsthe student’s emergence in becoming a Professional BrennanHealing Science Practitioner. A Year 4 Case and Projectfee will apply to cover administration and advisory costs.Please refer to the Catalog Addendum for details on this fee.
Counselor QualificationsThe Deans, Teachers and Project Advisors serve as academic
and professional counselors during the student’s education.The minimum education requirement for academic andprofessional counseling is six years of training at the School,which includes the four-year Brennan Healing Science programand the two-year Advanced Studies program. In addition, manyof our teaching staff, Directors and Deans possess otheracademic degrees, and have training in a variety of majors.(See Faculty Overview, pages 62–66.)

School Standardsand Policies
Brennan Work requires a serious commitment on the
part of the student to loving self-responsibility. Students
of the School are asked to conduct their personal lives in
and out of class with a high degree of personal integrity.
Healership requires adherence to the highest standards
of personal excellence. It is essential to live what we
profess.
To maintain Love, Truth and Wisdom throughout the
program, a code of ethics is set not only for Teachers, but
also for students.
Please read the following Standards and Policies
carefully. It is important that you fully understand the
high standards of the School and the ethical behavior
that will be required of you as a healer.
SCHOOL STANDARDS
Dismissal or Suspension from School
The School reserves the absolute right to dismiss or
suspend any student at its sole discretion when such
action is deemed to be in the best interests of the School
or its students, or in any one of the following situations:
1. The student fails to adhere to any school policy.
2. The student engages in physical violence directed
towards another person.
3. The student’s physical, mental or emotional health is
such that the School—in carrying out its responsibility
to other students, members of the faculty and staff,
or the public to be served by the students upon
completion of the Program—determines that the
student should be dismissed or suspended for a
period of time selected by the School.
4. Such action is deemed by the School to be in the
best interests of the School and its students.
If a student is suspended, the School will set forth
in writing the conditions of his/her return, as well as
the length of the suspension. The student must provide
documentation that all conditions have been fulfilled
prior to being allowed to return to school.
If a student is dismissed, he/she may reapply for
admission. Readmission will be considered if the student
is able to demonstrate compliance with the School’s
recommendations set forth when dismissal or suspension
occurred.
Tuition refunds will be based on the refund policy set
forth in the Enrollment Agreement.
The Spectrum of Confidentiality
There is a wide spectrum of confidential/not confidential
behavior. At the least confidential end of the spectrum is
gossip, saying anything about anyone at any time. At the
most confidential end is never talking about others but
speaking only about yourself and your own experience.
There are times when it is useful to discuss others.
It is useful and necessary for Teachers to discuss the
progress of their students with each other regularly,
and this discussion may include any aspect of the class
activity, including supervision groups. It will be useful
for you to discuss your client cases (with your client’s
permission) with your class Supervisor.
However, it is not usually necessary or constructive
to talk about people. What is valuable in conversations is
talking about your experience, not always telling stories
about others. It is important that we always look at our
own intention when we discuss others. Ask yourself:
“Why am I saying this about this person? Does my
talking about them contribute to their and my own
well-being?”
In class situations, as with clients, the more the
students (clients) and their actions are held to be
confidential, the more safety they have to fully express
67
68
their personal process and the parts of themselves they
have been reluctant to reveal. We encourage students to
practice a high level of confidentiality now so that they are
fully prepared to create a safe, secure environment for
their own clients when they begin their healing
practices. Please observe the following standards of
confidentiality. A high level of confidentiality is essential.
1. During class weeks, do not talk about other people
and their process. If you wish, share your personal
experiences, but you must be very careful not to bring
gossip into your sharing. This means not talking about
other students, their process, what they said or what they
did. If it serves no purpose in your learning or in
another’s process, then it should not be talked about.
Give your fellow students the freedom to fully experience
their own process without outside comment, judgment,
or intervention.
2. Nothing of a personal nature about another student’s
participation inside of class should ever be talked about
outside of the classroom. The names of all participants
in these classes are confidential as well as their words
and actions. Of course, you can talk about the types
of things that are learned. We encourage you to talk
about the things you study and do in the learning process.
You can cover the full spectrum of activities, but be sure
not to compromise anyone’s privacy.
3. Be careful about misrepresenting the class work to
those outside of class. Many people do not understand
how and what we study and can be threatened,
confused, or fearful about our work. Be sure that you
are communicating with them in a way that contributes
to their own sense of well-being and also honors the
healing profession.
4. Mailing lists are also confidential. Please do not use
any mailing list of the students in your class or any
other class to create networks. If you wish to make a
mailing list on your own, write the purpose of the mailing
list, including exactly what the names will be used for, on
a blank piece of paper and ask people to personally sign
the list giving you their addresses.
5. The complete confidentiality of private healings, private
supervision, Brennan Integration Work sessions, and
private group supervision given outside of the class
meetings will be honored by those practitioners who also
teach at the School.
SCHOOL POLICIES
Formal school policies are presented in a format
indicating the subject of the policy, the group of
individuals to whom the policy applies, and, in the case
of newer policies, the date the policy becomes effective.
A brief discussion of the purpose of the policy is included.
The consequence of not following the policy is clearly
indicated and will be adhered to.
School policies are subject to change. Students are
notified of changes in existing policies at least 30 days
before the effective date of the policy. Since new policies
are made in response to an immediate need, there may
not be time to notify students about a new policy before
it goes into effect. However, students are notified of new
policies as soon as possible.

POLICY: PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATIONS, SEIZURE DISORDER MEDICATIONS, PRESCRIPTIONSEDATIVES/HOSPITALIZATION FOR MENTAL OR EMOTIONAL DISORDERS
FOR: BBSH Students and TeachersDATE: June 1995 (Revised 8/96)
No individual can be a student or Teacher of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing if he/she is or has been taking psychotropicmedications, seizure disorder medications, or prescription sedatives during the school year or within proscribed periods prior tothe school year. This includes psychotropic medications, seizure disorder medications, and sedatives prescribed to treat a mentalor emotional disorder. Psychotropic medication includes anti-anxiety agents, anti-manic agents, anti-depressants, psychostimulants,anti-panic medication, and anti-psychotics.
70
In the case of psychotropics classified as anti-psychotic, the proscribed period shall be two years.
In the case of other psychotropics, seizure disorder medications, and prescription sedatives, the proscribed period shall be sixmonths.
If the medication was prescribed solely for a physical condition and not for any type of mental or emotional condition, theprospective or current student or Teacher must submit a physician’s statement, using the School Medical Release Form #16, attestingto this fact.
In addition, no individual who has been hospitalized for a mental or emotional disorder within the past five years will be admittedinto the Program or permitted to continue in the Program.
DISCUSSIONIndividuals who participate in BBSH programs may encounter situations that initiate deep personal process. Frequently, an individualwho is on these types of medications or has been hospitalized for the above reasons cannot tolerate stressful emotional situations.He/she must postpone enrollment in the School or, in the case of active students, withdraw from the School. A student can reapplyto the School after he/she has been medication-free and/or not hospitalized for the appropriate period and he/she feels thathe/she can comfortably engage in deep self-exploration.
POLICY: SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT FOR: BBSH Students, Teachers and Staff MembersDATE: August 1998 (Revised 1/02; 4/03)
BBSH endeavors to enhance and foster increasing sensitivity to the creation of a study and learning environment between andamong students, Teachers and staff members that is respectful and honoring of individual rights and freedom and that providesa collegial environment encouraging professional growth. In keeping with this policy, discrimination or harassment of any student,Teacher or staff member on the basis of race, color, religion or creed, national origin, disability, marital status, sex, gender, pregnancy,or sexual orientation is strictly forbidden and will not be condoned.1
Each student, Teacher and staff member is responsible for creating an atmosphere free of discrimination and harassment, sexual orotherwise. We ask that BBSH students, Teachers and staff diligently be conscious of their own and others’ actions.
For purposes of this policy, sexual harassment by a student, teacher or staff member includes unwelcome sexual advances,requests for sexual favors, sexually motivated physical conduct or other verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when:
(i) submission to that conduct or communication is made a term or condition, either explicitly or implicitly, of employment, or obtaining an education, or participating in a BBSH program or activity; or
(ii) submission to or rejection of that conduct or communication by an individual is used as a factor in decisions affecting thatindividual’s employment or education; or
(iii) that conduct or communication is so severe and pervasive that it has the purpose or effect of substantially or unreasonablyinterfering with an individual’s employment or education, or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive employment oreducational environment.
Examples of conduct that may constitute sexual harassment include, but are not limited to:
• Demanding sexual attention with implied or overt threats or rewards;
• Inappropriate or unwelcome energetic sexual attention;
• Leering or ogling at a person’s body;
• Physical assault or battery, including rape;
• Sexual advances;
• Touching, patting, grabbing, kissing, or hugging or restraining someone’s movement in a sexual way;
• Sexual jokes;
• Sexually suggestive or foul language;
• Unwelcome sexually motivated or inappropriate physical contact and unwelcome sexual behavior or words;
• Display of offensive or sexual items or pictures.
71
Other prohibited harassment by a student, Teacher or staff member includes unwelcome verbal or physical conduct relating to anindividual’s race, color, religion or creed, national origin, marital status, gender, pregnancy, disability or sexual orientation whenthe harassing conduct is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive that it has the purpose or effect of substantially or unreasonablyinterfering with an individual’s employment or education, or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive employment or educationalenvironment.
If you believe that you have been subjected to sexual or other harassment, other inappropriate behavior or discriminatory conduct,BBSH encourages, but does not require, you to indicate promptly and firmly to the offender that the behavior is unacceptable.If you believe that you have been subjected to harassment or discrimination based on race, color, religion or creed, national origin,disability, marital status, sex, gender, pregnancy, or sexual orientation, BBSH requires that you promptly report any incident,regardless of who the offender is. The report must be made to any of the following: the Class Dean, or Student Affairs Manager,or the School’s Human Resources Administrator.
Any report will be treated as discreetly as possible and will be promptly investigated, and appropriate action will be taken. Uponsuch investigation, BBSH will respond, where warranted, to incidents of harassment or discrimination. Such response may include reprimanding the offender, reassignment, temporary suspension, permanent suspension, dismissal, discharge, or othersuch disciplinary action. A false report will result in serious action and may result in disciplinary measures. There will, however,be no retaliation should you make a report in good faith.
If you believe you are being retaliated against, you must promptly report it to the Class Dean, or Student Affairs Manager, or theSchool’s Human Resources Administrator. A retaliation complaint will be treated according to the same procedures as set forthabove.1This policy should not be read to abrogate the “Working Environment” policy in the BBSH Employee Handbook, which applies to employees of BBSH. It is the intent of BBSH that its policies are readconsistently to provide the highest level of protection for unlawful discrimination and harassment in the provision of educational services and opportunities and for its workforce.
POLICY: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BBSH STUDENTS, AS STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FOR: Degree and Diploma Year 1– 4 Students, Advanced Studies Year 3 Students,
and TeachersDATE: October 17, 1995 (Revised 1/2/02; 4/03; 2/04; 1/11)
If any BBSH Teacher or AS Year 3 student enters into a romantic relationship, sexual or nonsexual in nature, with a BBSH Year 1–4student, that Teacher or AS Year 3 student will be dismissed from the School. (A person is considered a BBSH student as soon ashe/she is accepted into Year 1 of either the Degree or Diploma Programs.) The Year 1–4 student will not be dismissed from the School.
The purpose of this policy statement is to make explicit what Teachers and Advanced Studies Year 3 students know, namely that enteringinto such a romantic relationship with a Year 1–4 student is profoundly contrary to the principles of sound psychological training.
Furthermore, if any BBSH Teacher enters into a romantic relationship, sexual or nonsexual in nature, with an AS student, the Teacher will be dismissed from the School. The AS student will not be dismissed from the School.
DISCUSSIONAt BBSH, we work to create a safe space for our students to become aware of their psychological boundaries and to explore intimate personal issues as they grow into the profession of healership. Teachers and AS Year 3 students hold the ethicalresponsibility for the safety of the healing vessel for the entire class. The clarity and predictability of the Teacher/studentrelationship is critical to this environment. Because of the deep personal process that students go through at BBSH, Teachers andAdvanced Studies Year 3 students must hold clear boundaries to safeguard Year 1–4 students.
AS Year 3 students are learning to make the transition from student to Teacher and continue to deepen their personal process.During this transition, AS Year 3 students find themselves in a dual role with respect to maintaining clear boundaries. In theirrelationship to Year 1–4 students they help hold the healing vessel of the class and must maintain the same boundaries with thesestudents that BBSH Teachers hold. At the same time, they are also BBSH students involved in deepening their own personalprocess and the Teacher/student relationship between BBSH Faculty and AS Year 3 students must also be maintained.
We consider any relationships other than Teacher/student to be inappropriate during the years that an individual is a student inthe School and for a period of at least four months after the individual has graduated from the School.
72
EXCEPTIONS FOR PREEXISTING RELATIONSHIPSThe above policy does not apply if a relationship existed between:
1. A Teacher or AS Year 3 student and a Year 1–4 student or AS Year 1–2 student, prior to the Year 1–4 student enrolling in the School.
2. A Teacher and an AS Year 3 Student, prior to the AS Year 3 student enrolling in the AS Year 3 program.
3. An AS 1 student and a Year 1–4 student prior to the AS student enrolling in the AS program.
In these cases, the preexisting relationship must be disclosed in writing to the Class Dean and the Student Affairs Manager, andthe Teacher may not be the student’s Small Class Teacher, BIP, Supervisor, or Case Leader. The Teacher and student will beadvised to keep clear and distinct boundaries around their roles within the School and seek supervision as needed.
OTHER TEACHER/STUDENT RELATIONSHIPSAlthough not grounds for Teachers’ or AS Year 3 students’ dismissal from the School, other Teacher/student relationships that are considered inappropriate to the BBSH teaching environment are:
• Meetings with a student and/or his/her family for social purposes only.
• Any other personal relationship in which the teaching and the well-being of the student are not the primary objectives. Thisincludes all business relationships.
In a teaching and/or therapeutic environment, it is imperative that clear and predictable boundaries are kept for our students.Relationships of Teachers with students outside the primary teaching or supervision relationship create situations in which thetherapeutic transference can no longer be as clearly identified and constructively used. New situations occur where different types of transferential and countertransferential reactions occur and the original Teacher/student relationship becomes less clearand less honest. This is also true of AS 3/Year 1–4 students because AS 3 students are in an internship role with respect to Year 1–4 students. It is therefore inappropriate for Teachers/AS 3 students to enter into any personal or business relationships with BBSHYear 1–4 students.
PROTOCOLIf a Teacher or AS Year 3 student begins to feel romantically or sexually attracted to a student, he/she should bring it to his/her supervision sessions to work on the underlying issues so that they can be dealt with and cleared, and also notify their Class Dean.It is most important that these feelings are not kept secret from the faculty in order to keep them from being acted out. In thisway the Teacher/AS 3 student can uncover the true nature of the relationship and make more informed decisions about his/herfuture with respect to the School.
We ask that you fully consider the very serious implications of Teacher/student relationships on your personal well-being, thesafety of the students, the integrity of the teaching, and the reputation of the School and of the Brennan Healing Science profession.
Note: For further study, please read the article “Working with Sexual Transference” by Virginia Wink Hilton and Pathwork® Lecture #44,“The Forces of Love, Sex and Eros.”
TEACHER/TEACHER RELATIONSHIPSRomantic relationships, sexual or nonsexual, are not permitted between Teachers, or between Deans and Teachers, assigned tothe same teaching team. If a Teacher or Dean begins to feel romantically or sexually attracted to another Teacher on his/her teaching team, the faculty member must notify their Class Dean. Additionally, the Teacher or Dean should deal with the situationin his/her supervision sessions.
Upon learning of a romantic relationship between team members, the Class Dean, in collaboration with the BBSH President asappropriate, will assess the implications for the students, School and teaching team. After assessing the situation, one of the facultymembers involved will be reassigned to another teaching team.

POLICY: SHARING THE BBSH BODY OF WORKFOR: BBSH Students (Degree and Diploma Year 1– 4 and AS 1– 3) and GraduatesDATE: June 15, 1999 (Revised 2/00; 4/03; 2/12)
The purpose of this policy statement is to provide guidelines to help BBSH students, Teachers and graduates speak about BBSHand Brennan Healing Science in a manner that will be most beneficial to the School, Brennan Work, and to the development ofthe individual practices of Brennan Healing Science Practitioners. It is the intention of the School and its principals to create aprogram that can be accepted by our society as a bona fide certification of quality and competence in the professional practiceof Brennan Healing Science and thereby to legitimize hands-on healing in our time. Therefore, we have designed specific waysto share the work to maintain the quality of the work in order to legitimize it.
I. SHARING ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND THE HEALING WORK
A. BBSH Students and Graduates Speaking About the School and the WorkBBSH students and graduates are free to speak about the School and speak about (not teach) the healing work they havelearned to any individuals or groups. In fact, this is a great help to BBSH. We really want to get BBSH known in the worldand need students and graduates to help! BBSH will provide materials about the School to students and graduates whomay wish to share with people who ask for information. Although BBSH students do not yet have healing practices, theyshould feel free to speak about the School and the work in general in interviews or presentations to local and nationwidepress or media. Relating one’s personal experience is an effective way to communicate about the Brennan HealingScience skills and about the School itself.
1. If a student or graduate would like to share about the School or answer questions about the School, the books, or thework, we ask that you follow these guidelines:
• Identify yourself as either a student or graduate of BBSH.
• Inform your audience that you are in a position to share your personal experience of the School, the work, and thehealing process as you know it.
• Please inform people that you are not an official representative of the School, have not been trained to teach thework, and cannot act as an authority regarding questions they may have concerning the books or the School material.If a student or graduate plans to speak about the School and Brennan Healing Science in their community (perhapsin a presentation to a community group, through a newspaper interview or article, or on a local TV program), youmay contact the School office to discuss your plans. The School office will send you an information packet withfacts and handouts about the School, which you may use in your talk to the public.
B. Additional Speaking Opportunities for BBSH Graduates Who Are BrennanHealing Science Practitioners
It is also the intention of the School to support and facilitate the development of private practices of the Brennan HealingScience Practitioners who are the conduits of this healing work to the world at large. Therefore, it is desirable, appropriate,and encouraged for graduates to inform the public about BBSH, Brennan Healing Science, and the existence of BrennanHealing Science Practitioners in the following way:
1. In free, public introductory programs in which the graduate talks about Brennan Healing Science and BBSH in additionto his/her personal practice. It is also appropriate in this program for the graduate to demonstrate (not teach) a healingtechnique(s) for the purpose of promoting the School, the work, and/or in order to build his/her healing practice.
C. What BBSH Qualifies Its Graduates to DoIt is the intention of the founder and managing body of BBSH that the healing techniques, exercises, and methods developedby BBSH be made available for healing in the world by BBSH graduates in the following contexts:
1. Use with a client during a professional healing period, including showing verbally or through demonstrations self-care skills necessary or important to the client’s healing.
2. Use for informal verbal sharing with friends or family members for the purposes of healing, communication, andimproving relationships. (In such informal sharing no financial exchange would be involved.)
3. If qualified through and certified by BBSH, within the context of offering HOL (Hands of Light) weekend workshops.
74
II. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARING PARTICULAR ASPECTS OF THE BRENNAN HEALING SCIENCE WORKAND CURRICULUM
This policy is also to ensure that the healing techniques, exercises, materials, and terms are utilized appropriately, that is, inways that enhance their integrity, authority, power, and effectiveness. By ensuring the appropriate use of this body of informationwe have created a program that can be accepted by our society as a bona fide program of quality and competence in theprofessional practice of Brennan Healing Science and thereby to legitimize hands-on healing in our time.
To this end we have designed the following restrictions to the use of School information and ask that students and graduatesobserve the following guidelines for using and sharing this work:
A. Self-Promotion and Advertising1. Unless certified by BBSH as an HOL workshop leader, students and graduates of BBSH may not advertise or present
themselves in any way that implies that they are a branch or authorized representative of BBSH.
2. Unless certified by BBSH as an HOL workshop leader or a current faculty member, students and graduates of BBSHmay not advertise or represent themselves as being certified by BBSH to teach.
B. Use of School Materials: Copyrights1. Any materials handed out during the classes are for students’, graduates’, or Teachers’ personal use. Please do not give
any materials to any other individuals, including to clients or to family members.
“Materials handed out during classes” include class handouts, Student Workbooks, Student Handbooks, TeacherWorkbooks, Teacher Handbooks, Paperwork Administration Manuals, any website material, all Heyoan lectures andQ&A handouts, and any audiotapes or videotapes of lectures or classes.
2. BBSH materials have been developed with meticulous care and fall within the full protection of U.S. and internationalcopyright law. The unauthorized distribution of copyrighted or altered copyrighted materials in any form is prohibitedby law.
C. Use of Trademarks and Service Marks1. Do not improperly use the various trademarks and service marks owned by BBI to describe the healing services that
you, as a graduate, offer. These marks include all of the ones listed on the copyright page of the most recent BBSHCatalog. These marks are the property of BBI and they represent the valuable goodwill and high quality standardsthat the School has developed over the years. Only BBSH may use these marks to identify its teaching services andmaterials.
2. If you, as a graduate, have been given explicit permission in writing by Barbara Brennan to use these marks in aninformational way to accurately describe the healing services you offer in your practice, you should capitalize themand include a prominent notice that these are trademarks and service marks of BBSH as follows: “(LIST EACH OFTHE MARKS THAT APPEAR IN YOUR MATERIALS) are trademarks and service marks of Barbara Brennan, Inc.”
D. Teaching of BBSH Techniques, Methods, Exercises, and Materials:Unfair Business Practice and Unfair Competition
BBSH healing techniques, methods, exercises, materials, and any other parts of the curriculum developed by BBSH andused exclusively in teaching at BBSH may not be taught other than the sharing in one-on-one individual sessions witha client and as listed in items IA, IB, and IC above unless you have received permission to do so in writing from BarbaraBrennan. Students or graduates of BBSH also may not advertise or represent themselves as being certified by BBSH to teach.(Teachers and AS 3 students, please refer to the policy in your contract related to teaching the work.)
1. “Techniques, methods, exercises, and materials” refers to any such material found in any BBI published materialsincluding the books Hands of Light,® Light Emerging, and Seeds of the Spirit.®
2. Graduates of BBSH are authorized as healers to practice Brennan Healing Science but are not authorized by BBSH toteach or train others in Brennan Work healing methods and techniques. Such training is available only from BBSH.BBSH has devoted significant resources over the years to building its reputation for providing an exceptionally highquality of training in the healing field. It is necessary to learn to teach this material before presenting it. Furthermore,the material is so vast that it takes a community of Brennan Healing Science teachers with many different qualitiesand areas of expertise to include the full scope of Brennan Healing Science. Therefore, at this point in time, learningto teach this work, and teaching it, can be done only at BBSH.
75
3. Setting up schools, seminars, workshops, tutorials, or training programs that utilize BBSH techniques, curriculum,materials, and/or trademark or service mark terms is unlawful. These actions could also constitute unfair businesspractice and unfair competition.
4. Please note that BBSH does not have jurisdiction over information originating from other sources. In other words,permission to teach material that originates from the Pathwork®, the Institute of Core Energetics, or elsewhere must be sought from those organizations.
III. PROCEDURE FOR GIVING AN INFORMATIONAL TALK
If a Teacher or graduate wishes to give an informational talk about BBSH or a talk that includes information about BBSH,the Teacher or graduate must state in his/her advertising that this is a talk about BBSH. In addition, the Teacher or graduatemust contact the School office through e-mail, telephone or fax and provide the following information: date of talk; time oftalk; location of talk (home, library, bookstore, auditorium, etc.); address of talk; expected number of attendees; overviewof talk; and the phone number to call for information.
The reasons for contacting the School office are:
• So BBSH can keep a record of how BBSH is being shared throughout the world.
• To ensure that the information presented is both accurate and appropriate.
• So BBSH can provide promotional materials, if appropriate.
• So BBSH can promote scheduled informational talks on the BBSH website.
POLICY: CREATING A HEALING PRACTICE FOR: Any Person Ever Enrolled in any BBSH ProgramDATE: August 30, 1994 (Revised 5/00; 4/03; 2/04)
No person who has ever been a student/attendee of BBSH in any program, workshop, or lecture may open a Brennan HealingScience Practice until he/she has completed and graduated from the BBSH four-year Bachelor of Science Degree or ProfessionalStudies Diploma Program. In order to then open a practice, the graduate needs to comply with his/her local country/state/provincelaw(s) in doing so.
A student may provide Brennan Healing Science techniques during the course of fulfilling the BBSH course requirements of theDistance Learning Modules assigned practicums and Resident Training practicums. Distance Learning Module practicums are those assigned between classes and Resident Training practicums are those done in class.
If a student wishes to continue practicum of any Brennan Healing Science (BHS) skill the student has passed in order to improvethe student’s proficiency in the skill, he/she may do so.
The following rules hold for all three situations mentioned above:
It is recommended that students do practicum on other students. However, if a student wishes to do practicum in the UnitedStates on anyone other than a fellow student or if the practicum client is a U.S. Citizen in another country, the student healerneeds to be covered by malpractice insurance and the School is to be added as an additional insured.
No BBSH student/attendee may charge fees for performing any BHS technique until he/she has graduated from the BBSH four-year Bachelor of Science Degree or Professional Studies Diploma Program.
Students performing any BHS technique or doing practicum must do so in accordance with the laws of the country, province orarea in which the practicum is done.
Furthermore, no person who has ever been a student/attendee of any BBSH program, workshop or lecture may advertise themselves, whether in writing or verbally, as a BHS practitioner or as a person authorized to perform these techniques or holdthemselves out as qualified to perform any BHS techniques until he/she has completed and graduated from the BBSH four-yearBachelor of Science Degree or Professional Studies Diploma Program. Until graduation from the four-year program, no BBSH student/attendee may advertise her or himself as having been trained by Barbara Brennan or as a graduate of the Barbara BrennanSchool of Healing.
76
POLICY: THERAPY/BRENNAN INTEGRATION PRACTITIONER RELATIONSHIPS BETWEENSTUDENTS (Year 1– 4 and AS 1– 3), TEACHERS AND STAFF
FOR: BBSH Students (Year 1– 4 and AS 1– 3), Teachers and GraduatesDATE: December 1, 1992 (Revised 1/02; 4/03)
Students may have as their therapists* other BBSH students, Teachers or staff members only if the therapeutic relationship existedbefore the student enrolled in Year 1 of the Bachelor of Science Degree or Professional Studies Diploma Program. (The therapist must meet the BBSH therapist criteria as listed under “Personal Process Requirement [for Years 1, 2, 3, 4]” in theAdjunctive Requirements section of the BBSH School Catalog.)
Once a student, Teacher, or staff member has entered into any financial relationship with the School, no therapeutic relationshipmay begin until six months after the relationship with the School has ended.
No student may be in the same small class or supervision/process group as his/her therapist or BIP, or have the therapist or BIPbe his/her Small Class Teacher, Group Supervisor, Year 4 Case Presentation Leader, Year 4 Case Presentation Assistant, or Year 4Project Advisor.
No therapist*/client relationship may exist between a Teacher and AS student unless the relationship began before the client wasenrolled as a Year 1 student in the School. Teachers/AS students who are in a therapeutic relationship with each other may notbe in the same small class, supervision/process group, or Year 4 Case Presentation team. BBSH staff members may not be therapists/BIPs to each other.
Visiting professors shall not take on any BBSH student or Teacher as a therapy client during their contract year and six monthsthereafter.
*In this sentence, we are referring to therapists, not to Brennan Integration Practitioners.
POLICY: PROHIBITED HEALING SESSIONSFOR: BBSH Students (Year 1– 4 and AS 1– 3), Teachers and GraduatesDATE: December 1, 1994 (Revised 1/02; 4/03)
No BBSH Teacher, AS student, or staff member may give healing sessions to any other BBSH Teacher, staff member or studentwhen the healer’s staff position confers direct authority over the client. This policy shall apply to the period beginning fourmonths before the academic year and ending four months after the academic year.
DISCUSSIONIn order to maintain clear relationships in the school community, it is necessary to define certain healer/client relationships. Forinstance, when a Teacher who has direct responsibility for a student is also that student’s healer there is a strong potential for“double transference.” In this case the student/Teacher boundaries cross the client/healer boundaries and the student has neithera clean relationship with his/her healer nor his/her Teacher. Both the student and the Teacher have to face the transference fromone scenario (i.e., Teacher/student) while they are in another scenario (i.e., healer/client), and this makes their relationship witheach other confusing, difficult, and full of unforeseen pitfalls.
Other examples of inappropriate relationships would include:
• Class Dean/Class Student
• Small Class Teacher/Small Class Student
• Supervisor/Student Being Supervised
• Small Class Teacher/AS 3 Student Assigned to Team
POLICY: SELLING SERVICES OR PRODUCTSFOR: BBSH Students, Teachers, Graduates and Resident Training EmployeesDATE: October 1993 (Revised 7/98; 8/02; 4/03; 2/12)
The policy of BBSH is that no student, Teacher, graduate or staff member may sell or advertise any product or service in conjunctionwith the School’s programs (i.e., Anatomy and Physiology, personal process, Resident Training), or at the School’s locations unlessin a BBSH store as established and administered by BBSH. In conjunction with the School’s programs refers to any product or serviceoffered to BBSH students, Teachers or graduates scheduled around the School’s programs, whether on site or held in nearby locations. The School’s location is defined as any area associated with any School teaching, especially the hotels and their groundsand parking lots.
77
This policy refers to, but is not limited to, the selling of products and services of any kind, including tapes and books, workshops,classes, massages, energy work, therapy and healing sessions.
No student, Teacher, graduate, or staff member may use a BBSH mailing list, BBSH class list, BBSH email list, or BBSH socialmedia network to solicit students for non-BBSH goods or services. Furthermore, no student, Teacher, graduate, or staff membermay directly or indirectly solicit students for non-BBSH programs that either they have created or from which they receiveremuneration, whether or not they are offered in conjunction with the School’s programs.
EXCEPTIONSBrennan Integration Practitioners may offer Brennan Integration Work sessions to current BBSH students in conjunction with theSchool’s programs as long as these sessions are not conducted during scheduled Teacher Prep or during Resident Training days.
Current faculty may offer Brennan Healing Science sessions in conjunction with the School’s programs as long as these sessionsare not conducted during scheduled Teacher Prep or Resident Training days.
DISCUSSIONBBSH acknowledges that we all have many fine talents and gifts to offer each other. We encourage students, graduates and theTeachers to take these gifts out into the world. The intent of this policy is to help create clear and safe boundaries so that studentshave an optimal environment to deepen their personal process and develop their healership.
The School’s programs and schedule have been carefully designed to take students through an in-depth personal process. It isdistracting and disruptive to the School’s purpose and intended student outcomes to have non-BBSH workshops or other servicesoffered in conjunction with the School’s programs.
Additionally, in order to maintain appropriate boundaries and support all students in their process, it is crucial that BBSH studentsmaintain a student/student relationship with each other. When a student creates other types of relationships with fellow students,such as massage therapist/client, healer/client, teacher/student or therapist/client, boundaries are not clear and students do nothave the freedom necessary to fully engage in their personal process.
POLICY: SCHOOL PUBLICATIONSFOR: BBSH GraduatesDATE: August 23, 1994 (Revised 1/2/02; 4/03; 2/12)
Any graduate who does not adhere to the Principles of Practice, standards, and policies of the School may be removed withoutnotice from the International List of Graduates at the discretion of the School Dean or President.
POLICY: STUDENT GRIEVANCESFOR: BBSH Students (Year 1– 4 and AS 1– 3)DATE: February 20, 2004 (Revised 2/12)
BBSH believes that open communication and the expression of concerns and differing points of view is essential to maintainingthe integrity of its programs. A grievance procedure is available to all students to ensure that student complaints and concerns arereviewed and resolved in a timely and equitable manner.
A student with a grievance should first meet with his/her Class Dean to discuss the concern and seek a resolution. If a satisfactoryresolution cannot be achieved, the student should submit a written statement to the Student Affairs Manager and the School Dean.The statement should include the following information: the student’s full name, contact information, class year, and a briefstatement of the nature of the grievance.
The Student Affairs Manager will review the grievance, gather additional relevant information and determine the appropriateaction. The Student Affairs Manager may involve the Class Dean, School Dean, BBSH President, and/or other School personnel.After reviewing the grievance, the Student Affairs Manager will provide the student with a written response to the complaint thatincludes a description of any decisions or actions the School has made, as well as any timelines for the implementation of thedecisions/actions. The School’s written response to the grievance will be final.
If a student feels that his/her grievance is unresolved, he/she may refer the grievance to the Commission for IndependentEducation, Florida Department of Education, 325 West Gaines Street, Suite 1414, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0400; 888-224-6684.
78
POLICY: GRADING SYSTEM AND ACADEMIC PROGRESSFOR: BBSH Students (Year 1– 4 and AS 1– 3)DATE: April 2, 2003
Grades are assigned to students on either a letter grade or pass/fail basis depending upon the program and course. The gradingsystem incorporates letter grades, pass/fail criteria, point values for determining grade point average, penalty grades and specialgrades (i.e., grades with no effect on Grade Point Average) as follows:
Letter Grades and Point Value for Grade Point Average:A = 4.0 B = 3.0 C = 2.0 D = 1.0 F = 0.0
Pass/Fail Criteria:Pass = 70%
Penalty Grades and Point Value for Grade Point Average:WU/Withdrawal Unsatisfactory = 0
Special Grades with No Effect on Grade Point AverageAU AuditI IncompleteP Pass for CreditN No Pass; no Credit AwardedW WithdrawalD Dismissal
Academic ProgressBBSH monitors the academic progress of students to ensure satisfactory progress toward completion of its programs. The followingcriteria is used to determine if a student is making academic progress:
• Maintain a minimum acceptable cumulative grade point average
• Achieve minimum acceptable incremental program completion rate
