by Georgia, Jovia, Kenny, Lucy, and Sandra
‘I realised that the “Tree of Life” project would be very beneficial to the people I was working with, adults living with HIV. I was aware that many of them had had to flee their home country and had experienced a lot of loss and trauma in their lives; some amongst them continue to experience a lot of difficulties and marginalisation in the UK as a result of their refugee status; meanwhile, most people living with HIV struggle to deal and overcome the stigma attached to it.

I am focusing my dissertation on The Tree of Life (Ncube 2006; Hughes 2013)
It would be interesting to hear of anyone having done a research project on a similar theme

May 4, 2022Good morning
I took the liberty of contacting you because I saw un article writen by Mrs Elisabeth Field about the tree of life project with elderly people.
I am a psychologist working in a geriatric unit of a psychiatric hospital and I am finishing my training for becoming a certificate psychotherapist. I was interested in the use of the tree of life with this population (eldery peolple with psychiatric problems and/dementia), but I have found little literature on the subject.
As your institut is the most experienced in the subject, I would like to ask you if you have some articles or other works on the subject to recommend me ou the contacts of therapists that could match my request..
I would be extremely grateful for your help !
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.
