Client-Practitioner Relationship

Once you have studied the scientific aspect of your speciality as a naturopath, homeopath or bioenergetician, you will start learning about the personal relationship between practitioners and patients. There is more to this relationship than science; there is also the dimension of human compassion. Each patient has feelings, emotions, specific psychological characteristics, and a personality. This course will look at the basic ethical aspects of your relationship with your patients by helping you view them as unique individuals.
