The Anne Sippi Foundation, a Non-Profit Organization                   Board Of Directors

The Anne Sippi Foundation began its operations in 1991 as a non-profit agency dedicated to training students and professionals in more active methods of conducting psychotherapy with those individuals diagnosed as having schizophrenia. It also has a research section, which is designed to determine the efficacy of treatment methods by doing outcome studies.
 
The Foundation stimulates the interest of professionals in many parts of the world. It receives professionals for training from American Universities, psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals from the U.S. as well as Europe. There has been a great deal of interest in the Foundation to provide training IN the United States, as well as many countries in Europe including Russia.

Objective

The Anne Sippi Foundation is a non-profit organization formed to provide students and professionals an opportunity to develop therapeutic and technical skills in the treatment of schizophrenia. The efforts of the Anne Sippi Foundation are directed toward teaching and training professionals and students the basic principles of Direct Confrontation Therapy anywhere in the world.

It is quite clear that there is a great need for such a training and research program. The Foundation utilizes all its efforts to provide the best possible assistance to those individuals who wish to develop their clinical skills in more active and advance treatment methods.

The Executive Director is Jack Rosberg, an internationally recognized psychologist known for his Direct Confrontation Therapy Techniques and Program Development believes that psychotherapy has long been underestimated and denied, even though it represents the backbone of any treatment approach. It must be integrated into psychosocial rehabilitation modalities in order for those treatment methods to be effective. So far, this has not yet been accomplished. In creating complete programs, we are aware of the need to include all the useful treatment methods in a contiguous way that insures a potent and effective treatment form. We can no longer afford to over look any treatment modality because of our inability to use it effectively. If some people cannot do it, that does not mean it cannot be done. We are prepared to demonstrate that rapid contact psychotherapeutic efforts represents the approach that is required to insure the effectiveness of the other treatment modalities.

It has become quite clear that current treatment methods have reached a point of diminishing returns. The Anne Sippi Foundation for Training and Research believes it is time to educate and train others in ways that offer more hope and can provide individuals with the condition of schizophrenia more opportunity for lasting change.
