Housing affects almost all levels of human existence - social relationships and behaviour, personal development, the nervous system and brain, health, recuperation and regeneration, etc. Psychological factors are often underestimated in housing because they have a subliminal effect and develop over a long period of time, meaning that we are often unable to directly identify interdependencies. To make this possible, we need to undertake a targeted analysis, and this is exactly what interested participants learn about in this seminar. Many previous participants wanted to discover more about the topic - and were pleased to be taught concrete scientific principles.
