Advantages of SPC

The following features of the SPC program that make it unique in comparison with other self-help and rehabilitative programs:

• It provides for a much more heightened state of belief and thus a greater responsiveness to words -- words being the main means for producing changes in most forms of psychotherapy and self-improvement programs.

• There is a greater emphasis on development of self-dependence, as opposed to dependence on a therapist for example.

• There is an emphasis on the here and now approach, as opposed to having to go back into childhood to uncover the causes of current problems.

• It is a more holistic approach, focusing not just on surface behavior but on underlying attitudes and beliefs as well. It also attempts to help the individual improve in all aspects of his life.

• It is more positively oriented, focusing more on a person's positive capabilities than on shortcomings.

• It is a mental growth as opposed to just a treatment approach, aiming at helping all people achieve their full potential rather than just helping the mentally sick get back on their feet.

• A rational, logical explanation of how and why the techniques work is provided as compared to the semi-mystical almost metaphysical approach of many programs.

• Greater immediate positive feedback is built into the program, showing the individuals that they can produce positive results from the start, thereby motivating them to continue.

• And finally, there is the fact that SPC is extremely easy to teach, allowing each individual to help others in turn, rather than being a program that only the specially trained professional can administer.
