Ken Alexander has had well over forty years experience in psychotherapy and counselling.  He became familiar with Robert Desoille’s Théorie et pratique du le rĕve éveillé diirigé en psychothérapie or Directed daydream technique in the 1960’s and incorporated the method into his practice in the early 1970’s.  Impressed by its effectiveness, he was able through his experience in psychotherapy, to introduce certain refinements to it with the motivation of shortening therapy time – a probability that Desoille, himself, had prophesied.

Ken has given talks and held workshops in Canada, the United States and the U.K – using the Daydream technique on a group basis at Surrey University, with well over one hundred participants.  Between 2000 and 2002, as forerunners to opening a school of psychotherapeutics, he ran two training courses on the Isle of Wight.  Having been asked repeatedly by students for a book to assist them in their studies, Modern Psychotherapy and the Directed Daydream was published.
