The learning therapy created by Norberto Keppe, which we use at Millennium Language School is an educational method which is practically the opposite of traditional methods. For example, instead of moving from grammar to ideas, it moves from ideas and feelings to particular grammatical elements. This permits natural learning to occur, just as it occurs in children who learn to speak their native language before they enter school. Therefore, the principal of this Keppean method is that it allows the student to reduce the stress of their daily life through self knowledge which simultaneously allows him to learn with greater ease not just language, but any subject he studies.

At the same time, the students say they notice improvement in the general state of their health, in their productivity, their enthusiasm, their relationships and life in general. The study and discussion of therapeutic books and texts such as these which are published in the STOP Journal, play a fundamental part in this type of teaching.

At the same time, contact with films, music, art, literature and philosophic, scientific and theological texts help the student not just to improve his general level of knowledge but also to improve his studies, his profession and his relationships, in short, his life in general.

Instead of remaining in theoretical technical and intellectual teaching, Keppe’s therapeutic trilogical method starts from action and interiorization and attempts to help the human being conscientize the blockages and difficulties that prevent him from living with all the magnificence of his qualities and possibilities.

In our classes we study high level artistic productions (music, film, paintings, literature) because esthetics favors contact with the universals within the human essence (love, truth and beauty) which comprise the psychic life. “Art is the basis of civilization,” affirms the creator of the Psycholinguistic Method used at Millennium. “Its part is to precisely unmask the marvels and beauty of reality because it has the ability to clarify everything that exists that we do not yet know.” (Norberto Keppe, Sociopathology, P 112)

It is hard to explain in a few words within the limits of an article all the richness and complexity of this methodology, which makes it possible to reconnect with the universality of psychic life or consciousness, the true source of knowledge. This therapeutic method can be experienced in our classes by people of all ages who want to live with more balance and better quality of life while overcoming learning difficulties.
