The Process Work Institute offers four training programs. Training began in 1982 in Zurich Switzerland with the founding of the Research Center for process-oriented psychology, by Arnold Mindell and his associates. The programs are designed to convey specialized and up to date knowledge of the philosophy, theory and methods of Process Work. Process Work is, by nature, an interdisciplinary and integrative approach to human behavior and with the various programs we hope to address the many educational and developmental needs. The trainings are not an end in themselves but gates through which you may follow your wider path in the world.

Please feel free to explore our training options. We offer a Diploma/Master of Arts in Process Work, a three-year Master of Arts in Conflict Facilitation, an Independent Study Program, and a Certificate in Process Work. The Process Work Institute is authorized by the federal government to award student visas.  

Degree Authorization and Licensure

Inquiries concerning the standards or school compliance may be directed to the Office of Degree Authorization, 1500 Valley River Drive, Suite 100, Eugene, Oregon 97401.

The MAPW and MACF programs are authorized by the Oregon Office of Degree Authorization (ODA). The ODA administers laws, standards, and services that protect students, holders of legitimately earned degrees, institutions, businesses, employers, patients or clients, and licensing boards. Authorization permits the school to grant a degree, ensures the quality and integrity of the academic degree as a public credential.

The MAPW and MACF degree programs are not yet accredited. Accreditation in the United States refers to membership in one of the regional or national accrediting associations operated by consortia of member colleges. The U.S. Department of Education recognizes accrediting bodies for purposes of institutional financial aid eligibility and other areas in which the federal government has an interest. The U.S. government itself does not accredit colleges, unlike common practice in many countries. Likewise, the federal government does not accredit or conduct academic evaluation of foreign colleges.

The MA programs do not confer a license to practice psychology, counseling or therapy. Licensure to practice professionally varies from State to State. Please consult your State's licensing requirements for information on obtaining a professional licensure. In Oregon, a description of licensing requirements can be found at: http://www.oregon.gov/OBLPCT/whoneedslicense.pdf
