Albert de Goias is a physician with an intense interest in human behaviour as driven by the intellect to allow us to function in a world of change. His knowledge of neurology, neuropathology, psychology and psychiatry allows him to present a scientific background, both to the cause of an addiction or mood disorder and ways to combat it in a reality that changes faster than we can keep up with. His knowledge of the mathematical basis of quantum theory and chaos theory and his ability to explain them in lay terminology allow a contribution that gives you the insight to gradually feel secure in complex and compound states.

Dr. de Goias has developed a technique that takes what can appear to be a dry subject and brings it to life using metaphors and anecdotes that each counsellor can expand and interpret. His passion to debunk the notion that unhealthy behaviours and unhealthy moods are diseases drives the success of Prometheum Institute and the Understanding Change program we use to effect lasting change in our clients. He repeatedly maintains that mental distress is the absence of mental health, not a disease unto itself. Thus, stimulating mental health is more productive than treatment of mental disease.
