Abstract
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.
