MIEK - International Institute of Existential Counseling

The International Institute for Existential Counseling began its work in Rostov-on-Don in 1999. MIEK continues the tradition of medical practice of Alexander Efimovich Alekseychik. The philosophical MIEC follows Heideggerian existentialism and develops it, as well as the existential theology of Anthony of Sourozh.

Since September 2002, an international Russian-language journal on existential praxis "Existential Tradition: Philosophy, Psychology, Psychotherapy" has been published.

The head of the MIEC Council and the editor-in-chief of the magazine is Semyon Yeselson.

Existential therapy training is now possible in Moscow, Rostov-on-Don and Kiev, Nizhny Novgorod, Odessa, Almaty, Khabarovsk. Students of the International Institute for Existential Counseling live in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, France, Sweden. Teachers are leading European existential therapists.

MIEK's basic level of education is work on self-determination, development of the habit of working on oneself, understanding one’s own life, accepting values ​​and finding a path to transformation. This is an extension of the ability to experience, comprehend, understand someone else's life. These are the expanded horizons of being-together and one's own being.

Second level. Professional. The emerging client experience turns into knowledge, a professional language is mastered, the features of our approach in theoretical and practical existentialism are conceptualized, and supervision is underway. But first, the Doctor, heal yourself!
