We Dared to Dream....
Pioneers in the field of conducting Distance Education Programmes in Psychotherapy & Counselling, we dared to enter into this field at a time when even long-established Universities of this Country hesitated. We had only one dream- to reach quality mental health care to the suffering millions of this great Nation, even to those poor slum dwellers who could not dream to afford such facilities. When we look back with satisfaction to those past years, we understand- the path was rough and the going tough- but we believed- in God, in our duty we were destined to carry forward, come what may- and we believed in the thousands who chose to cast their lot with us as the Participants to our Courses We can now say with confidence that our hopes were nor belied- you, our dear Participants, have done us proud- you have reached the flame passed from I.B.M.S. to the needy thousands. In this new Academic Year, we welcome with open arms, a batch of new minds- eager to enter the exciting field of Counselling & Psychotherapy- afire and dedicated in passing the flame along.
We Believe in You !!

Less social interaction, less time for others Loneliness, restiveness and stress
This is a very frightening but true picture of the present Indian society. Increased prosperity also brings about problems of its own. Psychological problems like suicide, alcoholism, drug abuse, marital discord, addiction to TV & computer etc. are growing rapidly in the society. From amongst those who suffer from psychological disorders, there is a vast majority who have no access to proper help or guidance. Such persons then turn to unscientific sources like godmen, black magic and other unhealthy practices. These worsen their problems rather than giving them solutions. Merely listening to them and equipping them with necessary life skills to cope with stressful situations can effectively treat a majority of such people. Professional Counselling is just this process of listening and providing these skills. Psychotherapy is the science of application of psychological principles in treatment of various mental illnesses. Psychotherapy involves a wide array of psychotherapeutic techniques in addition to counselling. IBMS Distance Education Courses are uniquely designed considering modern psychological techniques developed in the last 25-30 years for professional counselling and psychotherapy at all levels. The syllabus is student-friendly & all the topics are simplified in the course material provided so that one can study independently at home.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
cates and Diplomas are held in high esteem in this field, the testimony being the number of our students placed all over this country and abroad in various Government/ non-Government Organisations, Hospitals and Clinics. Unfortunately, this has lead to certain unscrupulous institutes recently misutilising our emblem, name and course materials with minor changes and running courses deceptively similar to us, thereby deceiving the gullible public. It is hereby informed that I.B.M.S. does not have any sort of association with any such institute and that the Logo shown herein has been registered wih the Trademarks Registry, Mumbai under the Trademarks Act, 1999. Therefore, any other institution misutilizing our name or the above mentioned logo for the representatives associating with them will be liable for criminal prosecution. Students who are associating with such institutes or their representatives will be doing so at their own risk, for which IBMS will in no way be held responsible.

Facilities are also there for attending live counselling / psychotherapy sessions, so that students can get hands-on experience. Q. I am a graduate of age above 40. But I have never studied psychology before. I am curious. How difficult are these courses? A. The syllabus is very student-friendly and any interested person can absorb the same without much difficulty. One need not have any background or exposure to psychology, since our first two papers will be dealing with the fundamentals of psychology. Q. I am a Graduate / Post-Graduate / Teacher / Professor with a comfortable job. What benefits do I have if I enroll in these courses? A. You will be able to interact more effectively with your students/ colleagues / superiors / subordinates, understand their problems better & defuse stressful situations. This will also help you to keep other options open for additional earnings in your spare time / holidays. Teachers & Professors can become very successful counsellors. Recently, you may have seen a Government circular detailing plans about opening Counselling Centres in all colleges / schools. If you are interested, you will be able to work in such centres and provide immense help to your students.
14
Q. I am a Professional - Doctor / CA / Advocate - with a good practice of my own. How can these courses help me? A. Your interaction with your clients / patients will greatly improve. Your ability to counsel them will make them more responsive to you & help you to grow in your practice further. Particularly, Doctors will find these courses very helpful as a high percentage of cases that come for treatment may be psychological in origin. Other than giving placebos, you will be able to delve into the cause of their problems and provide effective cure. Q. I am middle-aged graduate housewife with a lot of spare time. I wish to enroll. Can these courses help me to earn or do any social work? A. Yes, most certainly. Being distance education courses, you can study from home. When you pass out successfully, you can very well start your own counselling services for family disputes, divorces, career improvement etc. You can also find suitable employment in related institutions, if you so desire. Q. I am technically qualified & have started a new production unit. In what way can these courses help me? A. You need to be very alert in all areas of your business.You will be meeting different kinds of people. Having studied these courses, your perception & attentiveness will increase considerably and you will be able to tackle stressful situations more effectively, without disturbing your peace of mind.
15
Q. I live in a small town / village, far away from the city. I wish to enroll, but where can I attend classes? A. These are Distance Education Courses, and you can very well study from your home, even in remote villages, without disturbing your routine. For your studies, IBMS course material is quite sufficient. If you need, you can avail of some books from the city. On completion of this course, you can provide services in your village / town. Q. Isnt it better for me to do an M.A. / M.Sc. in Psychology of some other University? A. If your aim is to acquire theoretical knowledge, it may be enough. But if you really aim at practicing Counselling / Psychotherapy, then it is doubtful whether such courses alone can help you. In such a circumstance, it is our humble opinion that the Professional Courses being offered by this Institute will be a much better or an additional option. Still, if you are desirous of persuing an M.Sc. in Psychology, some of our centres are having working arrangements with some of the Madras University Study Centres. So you can do both M.S. & M.Sc. concurrently. But admissions to M.Sc. Psychology will be governed as per stipulations of the University. For further details, kindly contact the IBMS centre nearest to you.
Now let us have a brief glance at the various courses being offered by IBMS through Distance Education Programmes:
