Who were the originators and developers of P.S.H? Two Australian therapists working independently and unknown to each other, developed the basic concepts of P.S.H. as we know it today. The late Francis J. (Frank) Wright (author of the book Emotional Healing) and Gregory L. Brice had both been practising as clinical hypnotherapists for many years and both found the techniques of hypnotherapy inadequate with regard to consistency of genuine, lasting results. Although many of their clients succeeded in making complete and permanent changes, they felt percentage was not high enough to justify the continued use of these techniques. One of the influences during this time was Dr Edgar Barnett's work in Canada, though Frank Wright and Gregory Brice gradually evolved their individual clinical methods in another direction. In the process they found that they were helping a greater number of people obtain the permanent changes they sought. With each additional refinement, the percentage of clients reaching quick and permanent change increased whilst at the same time the number of clinical sessions required, decreased. In 1989 Brice and Wright combined their understandings and techniques, and following further refinements and changes (all developed in the clinical setting), the new therapy model was introduced to other practitioners in 1990. A series of workshops were conducted for experienced therapists who were taught the new approach. Still further refinements continued and by 1994, the method had evolved so far beyond the traditional techniques that it was renamed Private Subconscious-mind Healing (P.S.H.). Since that time P.S.H. is being practised by a growing number of therapists in Australia and a small number in New Zealand. The clinical results are closely and independently monitored and continue to clearly show a marked superiority to other subconscious-mind therapies. Clients are not subjected to the probing and analysis inherent in so many other methods, and they do not have to suffer the emotional trauma so commonly experienced with various other traditional approaches. Primarily because P.S.H. is private, quicker and more comfortable than many other therapy approaches, clients recommend this therapy to friends and family.
Frank Wright and Greg Brice first began teaching the methods which were the precursors of P.S.H. in 1990. The first complete professional course in P.S.H. was conducted in NSW Australia in 1994 through the Centre for Analytical Hypnotherapy Research & Training Australasia (CAHRTA). This Centre was renamed the International Centre for Subconscious-mind Training & Research (ICSTR) in 1995 and training was continued under that name until 1997. In 1998, the only remaining co-developer of P.S.H., Gregory Brice, relocated to Brisbane, Queensland (Australia) and now conducts the program under the name of the International Centre for Subconscious-mind Training & Research (QLD) [ICSTR (QLD)]. ICSTR (QLD) is not affiliated with any other training organisation.
'Subconscious-mind therapies' is the umbrella term used to describe therapies such as P.S.H. There are many different approaches that utilise subconscious processes. However, the majority take much longer and do not embrace the gentle, non-intrusive and private protocol of P.S.H.
Formally known as the "Long Term Research (LTR)" program, it was established for the first time in Australia by CAHRTA in 1994. Statistics have been carefully compiled and utilised since that time for the benefit of clients, therapists and the training schools alike. Thousands of clients have provided vital data through this program and the results show a very high percentage of successful outcomes. As the analytical program was developed and became more sophisticated, it was renamed to the "Client Feedback Program (CFP) as this better described the true nature of the analytical work being conducted.
ASTA is run by a dedicated team of members who are committed to the ongoing development of P.S.H. therapy. It is formally structured with an elected Executive Board (President, Treasurer, Secretary), State Representatives, Research Officer, Publications Officer, Workshop Officer, Ethics Officer, PR Officer and Public Officer.
