The Benenzon International Organisation (BIO) is a non- profitable organization. It ensures the professional registration of every Benenzon Therapist in order to guarantee the safety and the quality of the profession.

​

BIO does not represent any political party nor does it operate according to any political agenda.

​

THE ROLE OF BIO AND ITS AIMS:

BIO aims to act as the international umbrella organization that supports, promotes and develops the Benenzon Therapy and the profession of the Benenzon Therapist through education, study, vocation, practical application, research and reflection.

 

BIO shall promote and safeguard the definition of the Benenzon Therapy as a non-verbal therapy that according to Professor Dr. Rolando Omar Benenzon utilizes physical-sound-non-verbal expressions so as to develop, process and reinforce a bond or a relationship between the therapist and the patient (or group of patients) with the purpose the welfare of the patient. The said goal is achieved with the reinforcement of “Ego” through a cathartic process and development through our sound identity (ISO), that is represented by sound, acoustic and moving energies that characterize every person.   

 

The Benenzon Therapy is intended for any person, not necessarily a patient. BIO aims to actively contribute to the promotion of psychological health of a person through the Benenzon therapy and to promote scientific research in matters of mental disease and behavioural analysis.

 

Another important aim of BIO is to promote the development, progress and expansion of the Benenzon Therapy as science and to maintain it as a separate autonomous discipline.

 

In relation to the profession of the Benenzon Therapist, BIO shall promote and advance equivalencies in the standards and policies of the ethical conduct of Benenzon therapists and clinical practice in Benenzon therapy. One aspect of this is the promotion of continuous education and personal development in the Benenzon Therapy of BIO members.

 

Furthermore, BIO intends to submit propositions for the establishment of legislation that provides for the formal registration of Benenzon Therapists and regulates the profession in general.  

​

Also, in the light of this, BIO shall support the legal educational and professional fortification of the Benenzon Therapist in a global level. Accordingly, BIO shall recognize the Benenzon Centers and the Benenzon Therapists who will practice and promote the Benenzon Therapy. Moreover, BIO recognizes the Benenzon Therapy studies offered by the Benenzon International Academy and the relevant Degree. The Academy shall in turn, as recognition of BIO, cooperate only with Benenzon Therapists who are members of BIO.

​

As an international body, BIO aims to promote international collaborations among its members in all the regions and to promote the integration of research and ethics into the practice of Benenzon therapy throughout the world.

​

For furthering its aims, BIO shall, inter alia, organize seminars, lectures and other events that support the purposes of BIO, including the Benenzon International Congress.

 

BIO shall also propel the Code of Conduct and Ethics of Benenzon Therapy and shall operate as the formal disciplinary body ensuring the Code’s proper application.

​

BIO shall represent formally the field of Benenzon Therapy in public, private, European and International Institutions and Organizations and shall also develop relations with other relative Organizations, groups and international bodies. BIO shall use all means of media and publications for the purposes of promoting the Benenzon Therapy at a regional level as well as worldwide.
