What is Kinlein?
Kinlein is a professional practice discipline of philosophy applied in living life day by day. The theory provides a different lens through which to view the nature of human beings. It moves from the reality that at conception each person receives the power to take action in living life on a day to day basis. It is this moving power that is the formal object of the profession. The theory is built on the following premises:

Kinlein is a practice of caring with people. Clients are assisted with any and all issues or aspects they bring to an appointment. There is no interpretation of the words, no advice given. What is offered are suggestions for consideration based upon the words spoken by the client, building on the good, strong and positive aspects. The kinleiner provides a gentle mirroring effect through which the client may see self in a more objective light and may gain insight into the power within self to act on one's own behalf. In light of the words spoken by the client, a kinleiner might say, "Back here where you said. . . " "In light of what you just said, perhaps it would be helpful if you would consider this aspect. . ." and then the kinleiner offers ideas or suggestions, and does not push, pull or direct the client's moving within himself.
Kinleiners are in practice throughout the United States. The profession of kinlein has within its purview the Institute of Kinlein, the National Center of Kinlein and the American Kinlein Association. The Journal of Kinlein is published by the American Kinlein Association throughout the year.

M. Lucille Kinlein, the founder of the profession, opened her office of independent practice of nursing in 1971, the first such practice in the world. Her clients soon named the care which they were receiving, kinlein and told others that they were going for kinleining, or referred to Lucille Kinlein as their kinleiner. The clients said that they could not get this kind of care anywhere else. In 1979, in the midst of renowned recognition in the nursing world, Lucille Kinlein left that field because of the medical control of the care given by nurses and declared the founding of a new profession. It was validated as such in 1981 through research done at the graduate level at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Minnesota.*

From the FounderM. Lucille Kinlein . . . .
World changes took place in the last half of the 20th century. In 1971, there was evidence that a denouement in society had begun. There had been major changes in the approaches to care in medicine, law, education and government. Where could persons go to maintain a healthy state of intellectual, physical, spiritual, and excitational movings as they lived life on a day to day basis? One answer was provided in the professional practice discipline in which clients are assisted in moving in that moving power within them as they live life on a day to day basis. The clients named the caring in this theory, kinleining.
