2) Philosophy-based services were interventions that were carried out from a
certain philosophical stance, such as complementary therapies based on
Eastern Philosophy (meditation, yoga, aroma therapy, reflexology, shiatsu);
3) Education-based services were services that were primarily concerned with
education, such as advice and information, or indirect services, such as
specific skills courses, e.g., information technology or cookery classes;
4) Psychology-based services were interventions that were carried out by
professionally trained and accredited therapists who worked from a clear
psychological, theoretical, and methodological basis. In the main, these
interventions were either psycho-analytic, humanist, or behaviourally oriented.
Most of the groups used education-based approaches (n=17) and community-based
services (n=16), while psychology-based services (n=12), particularly counselling
(n=9) and group therapy (n=6), and philosophy-based approaches (n=12) were also
very popular (Figure 8).
