The Mission Statement of AAP Psychology is: "Re-membering Psychology through Relational Anthropos-Sophia." Rudolf Steiner often declined to define; he preferred to characterize. This is appropriate to energies, bodies, and forces whose nature is to change and transform. To engage these forces, RELATIONSHIP IS ESSENTIAL . When we see another human being stray from his or her path of development-into realms of dysfunction, suffering, and mental illness—it calls forth the "counselor" in us (from root words meaning to talk together). In anthroposophic psychology, talk is neither cheap nor worthless; indeed, words are precious and, when empowered by love, healing for both speaker and listener.
