BAS Profile
A charitable organisation formed in 1984 as the British Association for Autogenic Training and Therapy, the British Autogenic Society -- as we have been known since 1999 -- is the professional and regulatory body for Autogenic Therapists and practitioners in the UK.

The BAS is working to establish Autogenic Therapy, or AT, as a widely-used form of treatment in the UK - available on recommendation from doctors, health centres, primary care centres and schools.

BAS Board - Who's Who
The British Autogenic Society is led by a voluntary Board, whose officers have chosen to dedicate their time and energies to ensure Autogenic Therapists receive the support they need to continue practising AT, and that more people learn and gain from the benefits of this effective non-drug, self-help approach to reducing the symptoms of stress and other conditions.
