The model is flexible, cohesive, and complimentary.  The client’s progress can  be tracked  throughout the treatment process while simultaneously remaining compatible with well  accepted basic theoretical concepts and procedures drawn from the latest research in the  fields of biology, psychology, sociology, environmentology, and spiritualology.
