Name the source
Card meanings, terms, and historical material are cited where possible; material that cannot be verified is identified as such.
Our work predates this website.
The association began with small-group research, teaching, and peer exchange. Over the past two to three years, we have started bringing our articles, courses, certification, and standards of practice online.
How we handle symbolic material
Articles name their sources, courses separate tradition from personal experience, and readings do not replace medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice.
Give the context
The same symbol can carry different meanings across traditions, questions, and relationships.
State the boundary
Questions involving health, safety, law, or finance should be referred to a qualified professional.
Leave a useful record
Research and teaching are organised into articles, course materials, reading lists, and practical guidance.
The association's continuing work
Organise research material
Build subject archives and reading lists, and publish work in Chinese and English.
Teach courses
Cover foundations, interpretive practice, case records, and service ethics.
Maintain standards of practice
Publish requirements for service descriptions, privacy, records, claims, and referral.
Connect members and the public
Support peer exchange and give the public practical information for assessing a service.
From long-standing work to a public website
The association has existed for many years; most of its online activity began within the past two to three years. This edition will publish courses, certification, membership, and the research archive, alongside verifiable historical information.
