    (University of Zululand, 2010) Manzini, Nomazinga Faith; Thwala, J.D.
    Philophonetics Counselling is a modality of counseling and psychotherapy based on Rudolf Steiner’s Psychosopy, created by Yehuda Tagar in the 80’s in England and Australia. It applies the powerful sensory, emotional and psychosomatic responses to the sound of speech-in association with body awareness, movement and visualization-as extensions of the conventional component of the psychotherapeutic interaction (Tagar, 2003; Lifschitz 2002). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Philophonetics Counselling on sexually abused children between the ages of 12 and 17 years. This study was conducted in the Bloemfontein area of Free State and Piet Retief area of Mpumalanga. The nature of the research is concerned with the applicability of the modality to individuals under the age of 18 years, and the individuals’ psychological responsiveness to the modality. Data was collected during and after counseling session, by means of drawings, sound, gestures and movement. Ten (10) individuals participated in the study and the age group of the participants was between 15 and 17 years.
