Dear reader of Szondi Forum!

In a couple of days the Founder of Szondi Forum Leo Berlips is 100 year. In more than 70 years Szondi theory and test has been very important to him and has given him great meaning and many good friends all over the the world. He wish you all the best and a Happy New Year!

December 23, 2013 Stockholm

Dear Szondi friends,

June 25, 2013 Stockholm / Russian Section of the Szondi Forum

Dear Szondi friends,

In the first place it is really a pleasure for me to inform you about two excellent pieces of good news.

The first one is the celebration of the birthday of the Sponsor of the Szondi Forum, my wife Gunnel Berlips who celebrated her 70th birthday May 26 of this year. Since the opening of our site, more than 15 years ago, she accepted without protest the many hours I worked collecting, writing, publishing, and regulating its content. Still more important for us was the fact that she became our Sponsor, i.c. financially took care for all expenses I had to pay.

The second event has to do with Slavick Sjibajev, our generous web provider. He, together with his wife Oksana, right from the beginning took care of the publication of our Szondi Newsletter and without any salary for the regular running of our website. For me it was therefore quite a pleasure when I learned, some days ago, that he at last got a first class job and became employed by a big American Firm as a data specialist. This means that he will be paid in dollars instead of in Ukrainian valuta, a very great positive improvement for him.

The way I got informed about his new work was quite surprising. My son Jens was in San Francisco on a business trip and learned unexpectedly (by facebook) that at the same time Slavick also was in San Francisco. They met and he heard personally from Slavick about his new employment. Since the beginning of the Szondi Forum, ca 15 years ago, I had continuous contact with Slavick. In this way I was witness to his difficult and continuous struggle to combine his “day by day” work with his higher studies. This meant for him often 15 to 16 hours working and studying every day.

By my own experience I knew what this meant, as well as for will power as for endurance and sacrifices. Therefore I followed his development with great interest and admiration.

I was really very happy to hear from my son that Slavick at last got a job that corresponded to his qualities. Therefore in name of all the readers of the Forum I wish him the best of luck in his new job. Personally I hope he and his wife will visit me some day in Stockholm so that we at last can meet personally!

As for the content of this new Szondi newsletter I am again very happy with the great contributions of Prof. Arthur C. Johnston.

By way of our correspondence I knew that Arthur the last months has concentrated himself in the deeper aspects of Szondi’s philosophy. He made a new English translation of Szondi's "The Ego and the Dream" from Szondi’s book "Ego Analysis." In his "The Ego and the Dream" Szondi continue his exploration of the world beyond reality. He has covered the mad in his previous chapter "The Ego and Delusion," which was presented in the last Szondi Forum.

The new translation of "The Ego and the Dream" gives still more insight into Szondi's thinking behind his whole endeavors to explore the human mind and its relation to the material world. Moreover he reveals in his work how much C. G. Jung's ideas have influenced his thinking in as great a measure as S. Freud's. Szondi also distinguishes how the dream can be interpreted in the Freudian retrospective (looking back for causal-materialist elements) versus the prospective (looking forward using the final-idealistic ideas of Jung, Silberer, and Maeder).

And Szondi stresses his key ideas of participation, integration, and transcendence too. Moreover he presents fully detailed the role of the background ego and other background elements in the dream versus the foreground ego of the awake ego. Equally, Szondi explores the roles of the personal-repressed unconscious, the familial unconscious, and the collective unconscious in dreams.

I am sure that Prof. Johnston’s great new translation will be very valuable for all of you who want to understand better Szondi’s deepest thoughts. [See “Szondi V- The Ego and the Dream,” a PDF, in Attachments.]

Another part of this newsletter is the presentation of Richard Hughes, Professor in Theology, with the title: "The Protest by Fire.” This article presents a fascinating look at the role of fire in the turbulent times of the 1960s. Professor Hughes himself was an active participant in the civil rights movement during the dangerous Mississippi events where there was the danger of being killed. The movie “Mississippi Burning” gave a depiction of this period.

This article will interest those, too, who have an interest in epilepsy and its different manifestations. Professor Hughes also takes a counter view to S. Freud’s interpretation of the symbolic meaning of fire.

Professor Hughes can be counted to belong to those followers of Szondi who strictly keep to Szondi's original approach to depth psychology based on his "gene theory." In this connection you may be interested to learn that a few weeks ago the Swedish Newspaper Dagens Nyheter published a short article with the title: “Blame the Education Level on the Genes.” This article reports how an international collaborative project, in which all Swedish twins’ records were included, has now been able to establish that even their potential educational level is genetic!

Finally, I’m sure you all will appreciate this fine contribution of Professor Hughes to the Szondi Forum. [See “The Protest of Fire,” a PDF, in Attachments.]

On another important topic: As most of you know already the publication of the Szondi Institute’s “Szondiana” has been the past year transferred to the Internet. The ISA and editorial policy will aim at broader scientific recognition (APA) and become digital.

Dr. Robert Maebe describes this in the following way: “Dear reader, cher lecteur,

On behalf of the direction of the ISA we send you our best wishes for 2013. The year 2012 was special for the ISA since -- in agreement with the Szondi Institute -- a greater autonomy for the ISA was decided. Editing the Szondiana has also been transferred to ISA with a modified editorial policy addressing a broader scientific recognition according to APA standards and turning from paper print to digital in order to reduce costs.

The ISA will need more than ever your membership and active participation for the future of Schicksalsanalysis and the related orientations. And you will need a membership to access the latest edition of Szondiana.

2014 will be a special congress year (XXth edition), happening in Brussels. So, follow the news we will release from 2013 on to prepare for the great Szondi event in Brussels.

Dr. Roberts encouraging word which herewith follows are likewise of value for our readers. He writes:

“Since our small community is spread around the world we intend to create a digital Szondi contact news to keep you and us better informed. In that order we ask you to provide us and our community once a year an update of your Szondi related activities (membership of groups, seminars, teaching, publications of the year).

Au nom de la direction de la SIS nous vous présentons nos meilleurs vœux pour 2013.

L'année 2012 a été particulière pour la SIS depuis la décision en accord avec l'Institut Szondi de lui accorder une plus grande autonomie la SIS. La publication de Szondiana a également été transférée à la SIS avec une politique éditoriale modifiée s'adressant à un plus large reconnaissance scientifique selon les normes de l'APA et en passant de l'imprimé au numérique pour réduire les coûts.

L'ISA aura plus que jamais besoin de votre adhésion et de votre participation active pour l'avenir de Schicksalsanalyse et ses orientations connexes. Et vous, vous aurez besoin d'un abonnement pour accéder aux nouvelles éditions de Szondiana.

2014 sera une année spéciale puisque l'année du congrès (XXème édition), qui se fera à Bruxelles. Alors, suivez les nouvelles que nous publierons à partir de 2013 en vue du grand événement Szondi à Bruxelles.

Comme notre petite communauté est dispersée partout dans le monde nous avons l'intention de créer un bulletin de contact szondien numérique pour vous atteindre et vous informer. Dans cette perspective, nous vous demandons de nous fournir et à notre communauté szondienne chaque année une mise à jour de vos activités Szondi (appartenance à des groupes, séminaires, enseignement, publications de l'année).

As most of you already know you may find more, and really very extended, interesting and important, information on the Internet on the Site: Szondi Schicksalsanalyse CEP Pathoanalyse -- Scarlet home. scarlet.be/cep/ that mainly presents articles and videos presenting another application of Szondi’s theory with the name of “Pathoanalysis (Anthropopsychiatry.) It is our sister’s Szondi site of which Dr. Robert Maebe is the Editor. However this site publishes mainly articles and videos in French -- An example of this is e.g.:

Dear Szondi friend, I just discovered that the book "Dialectique des pulsions" 3me éd. De Boeck, 1990 can be read on a site by Daniel Vernant! [http://dvsitesz.com/blog/files/c2892e0b8c62d422cd976ebb98742852-9.html]

(Chère szondienne, Je viens de découvrir que le livre est disponible en ligne sur un site dirigé par Daniel Vernant ! Bien à vous.

THE NEXT SZONDI CONGRESS WILL BE NEXT YEAR. WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED.

I would like to finish this Introduction with a General Call to friends of KARL LOUVET and let him know that many of our readers would greatly appreciate it if he starts again publishing his excellent and original articles!

CHÈR KARL LOUVET beacoup de nos lecteurs attandent d`avoir le plaisir et l` inspiration de lire votre article. ON VOUS ATTEND!. Votre ami Leo Berlips.

For you who don’t know Karl Louvet it might be interesting to read the information I once wrote about him. EXTRACT: (In the www.szondiforum.org, 1 April 2002)

In contrast with the difficulties which some of you might have to accept Karl's theoretical reasoning he illustrates his conclusions with concrete examples in a very picturesque way. As a former test psychologist, who in the sixties and seventies often had to interpret test results of people living in other parts of Sweden by a blind diagnostic, I myself really enjoyed to read Louvet's subtle interpretations when he applied the Circuit theory to the individual “Factor” and “Vector” positions (I think that his example of "Obsession" ( in the article I referred to) can be used with success in teaching the Szondi Test. (As Karl informed me: the method he used to interpret the instinctual positions is a heritage of Jean Mélon and Daniel Vernant.)

January 2013 / Russian Section of the Szondi Forum

Dear Readers,

We , who make the Szondi Forum: Mrs. B. Berlips, Sponsor; Prof. A. C. Johnston, Co-Editor; Net providers Slavick and Oksana Sjibajev and I your Editor Leo Berlips, hope the NEW YEAR will bring you SUCCESS, HEALTH, and PROSPERITY.

We Hope Your Dreams Come True.

It feels this time extra happy for me to start writing a preview. The reason for this is that this time it contains not less than three important contributions. 1. A detailed analysis of the Ego forms and delusion as presented in the English translation of Prof. Johnston; 2 An introduction of a new book written by Dr. Friedjung Jüttner; 3. An original and new view on the death of the famous painter Vincent van Gogh presented by Richard Hughes.

Part 1.

We are again proud to publish Prof. A. C. Johnston’s latest translation. It concerns one of the most difficult parts in Szondi literature. The best way to illustrate this is Prof. Johnston’s own words when he wrote me about the translation difficulties. He wrote:

    Dear Leo,
    Fortunately, I just finished up my work on the new Szondi translation "The Ego and Delusion." This was the most difficult translation I've done because of the content and the complexity of the chapter: many repetitions of Szondi Ego forms, charts, illustrations, etc. The part on phenomenology, or existentialism, was especially difficult. I had to round up a batch of books I had on the subject plus a few from Amazon.com to understand the ideas and get the right English words. And I had to look up lots of the specialized words on insanity and delusions. But I do think this is a very significant chapter for it gives lots of details on the different ego forms. Although the comments are all about the mad, these ideas can also apply to some normal reactions of people who form delusions on certain subjects. And best of all toward the end of the chapter, Szondi explains clearly his idea that participation is the drive that is the heart of his thinking on human nature and mental illness.
     I avoided this chapter as it is focused on mental illness and I am more interested in Szondi's ideas as they apply to normal persons who are not in mental institutions.
     Anyway, this is a significant chapter revealing Szondi's ideas in great detail and clarity.

The end of Prof. Johnston’s message speaks for itself, so I can only herewith express again our deep appreciation for this new and difficult translation Prof. Johnston did make for us. Truthfully, if I had not him at my side as a co–editor and regular contributor to the Forum, I am not sure that I would have continued with publishing the Forum. His personal correspondence with me is, moreover, always enriching and stimulating. His extended knowledge, new insights, and original viewpoints remind me often of authors from the Renaissance period.

What many of you probably do not know yet is that he also is a well-known graphologist. He was just honored with the title “The Graphoanalyst of the year” in America by the International Graphoanalyst Society (IGAS).This knowledge gives him a possibility, if necessary, to compare and interpret results of the Szondi test with the results of a graphological examination.

This new translation can be of great use for all of us who are interested to get a deeper theoretical insight in the functions of the Ego forms. [See the PDF attachment “Szondi IV-The Ego and Delusion.”]

Part 2:

In the second place we publish herewith the publishing of a new and excellent German book about Szondi’s “Fate Analysis.” It is written by Dr. Friedjung Jüttner, who is an outstanding representative of the Szondi Institute. The title of his book is: Nimm Dein Schicksal in die eigene Hand [Decide Your Own Fate]. When I started reading it I really became enthusiastic by the content and presentation of this relative short book of 144 pages. Each page is loaded with essential and concentrated information. It contains a short and brilliant description of depth psychology, famous psychiatrists, defense mechanisms, Fate Analysis, etc. (See Contents.) Moreover it contains several short, practical and easy instructions to do personal exercises. In this book Jüttner presented also in a few sentences the ultimate essence of Szondi’s need system. [See “Juettner - Need Names - German” and “Juettner - Need Names - English” and “Juettner Book Announcement” as attachments]

Part 3:

Number 3 of our news concerns a contribution of Prof. Richard Hughes, Prof. in Religion. He belongs to one of the first to be enthusiastic collaborators of our Szondi News. He also was one of the first who wrote a popular book about Fate Analysis Return of the Ancestor -- A big part of which we gave a first place when we presented the Szondi Forum. Just last year he presented the letters between him and Szondi over the years concerning important ideas of Szondi that Hughes put in his many publications. [See May 4 2012 Szondi Forum Newsletter.]

This time he sent me an original article about his conclusions that Vincent van Gogh, the famous but tragic Belgium/Dutch painter, did not commit suicide as a schizophrenic or epileptic but died in an entirely different manner. He illustrates this by summing up the characteristics of his family background and epilepsy as part of his mental illness that traditionally led to his taking his own life.

We are proud that he decided to publish this new, and for many Van Gogh scholars, a surprising and unexpected viewpoint article on our Forum. I expect that many art specialists will be very interested in this article. Therefore I suggest that you take up contact with the nearest Art museum and refer to this rather for them sensational news. I am sure these contacts will be very grateful for your information. [See attachment “Richard Hughes Article on Van Gogh”]

Herewith I have come to the end of this first 2013 Newsletter and hope you find it worthwhile to read. Professor Arthur C. Johnston and I wish you a further successful 2013.

Your Editor Leo Berlips

October 15, 2012 / Russian Section of the Szondi Forum

Dear Szondi Friends,

The positive news in this newsletter is the fact that we again may present a very valuable contribution by Prof. Arthur Johnston. He succeeded to translate still another part of Szondi’s book Ich-Analyse [Ego Analysis] (1956): “The Ego and Character: The Character Formation Function of the Ego.” (See PDF “Ego and Character by Szondi” as an attachment.) For those of you who cannot read German or French Prof. Johnston makes it possible to get deeper and into more detail about Szondi’s ideas. Also included on this same topic are Gertrude Aull’s chapters on character in her English translation of Szondi’s “Experimental Diagnostics of Drives” (1952). (See PDF “Ego Diagnostics Character.”)

Many professionals consider his Ich-Analyse as Szondi’s most important work. Interesting was also that the great Rorschach specialist Ewald Bohm pointed out to me ( beginning sixties) that in those days the so- called “pure Neuroses” for a great part were replaced by “Ego disturbances.” Up till then the psychoanalytical standard work had been Otto Fenichel’s well-know book: “Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis” (1945). However in my opinion Szondi with his Ich-Analyse (1956) opened the best theoretical introduction to these Ego disturbances.

With Prof. Johnston’s new translation from this book and with Aull’s detailed explanations on the relationships of the Drive Categories and the Drive Formulas to one’s character, we are proud that we can give our readers still more extended and important information in this field. Szondi´s ideas presented in this area were further developed by Prof. Jacques Schotte and his collaborators, e. g. Jean Mélon. (See Bob Maebe’s web site: http://home.scarlet.be/cep.) These new insights they called pathoanalysis.

This new Forum news reminds me of the time the Szondi Forum was created in 1995. Neither the two professionals – Bob Maebe and Dr. Friedjung Juettner – who supported my suggestion to start a Szondi Forum, nor I, would expect the enormous extent of interest and information it would, until this time, present: The number of visitors up till now is not less than 313,000.

The last years Prof. Arthur Johnston’s valuable contributions became more and more the largest parts of the content in our Szondi Newsletter. It might be worthwhile to stress that his large contributions and translations were provided all FREE OF CHARGE! So I am sure that I also speak – and this time again – in your name when I herewith thank him for his generous contributions.

To finish this foreword I would like to recommend a very short and easy- to-use personality test. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) (See web site Wikipedia.) The MBTI is especially useful for those who are employed by profit-making corporations. The MBTI takes less than 15 minutes to apply. It has the great advantage that it, in contrast to projective methods, presents easy to understand and non-problematic information.

To give an answer to the question why I refer to this test I have to return fifty years to the beginning of the sixties. In these days I started working the next 15 years as a “Selection Specialist.” My job was concentrated on finding out if people who were looking for specific jobs were qualified. Our firm worked in different West European countries. In those days I had an extended knowledge of languages and moreover was a specialist in interpretation of Projective tests. So during many years I had to work in other countries. Airfield Schiphol, near Amsterdam, was the main interconnection with Belgium, Germany, France, and Switzerland. (Thanks to this location I could start in the afternoon my flight to Schiphol and in the evening visit my parents). In contrast to this happy fact I generally only got only about one and a half hour (!) to screen each aspirant.

In those days I just had started to study Szondi´s works and had become one of his most enthusiastic advocates. However, to my great disappointment, due to lack of time, I could not use his test in my work. Instead I had to make the best out of the situation. I composed a short test battery with the following short projective tests: The main personality test I used the “Zulliger test,” an abbreviated Rorschach test, which took at most approximately 20 minutes. Moreover I used the Lüscher color test that took even less time. (Unfortunately I learned first more than 50 years later by studying Prof. Borg’s books to apply the Lüscher test in connection with Szondi’s “Hintergrund” [background] principle). These two tests I completed with two drawing tests: “The Tree Test” and “Draw a Picture.” Moreover I used some figure interpretation (aptitude and formal tests). Based on these tests I could make useful and successful interpretations for my employers.

The results of projective tests indicate generally in the first place deviations from the normal. (The theoretical origin of the showing up of just the negative traits I found in Freud’s article: “Die Zersetzung der Persönlichkeit” (1936). In this article Freud published his so-called “Crystal Theory.”) In casu that the main information about the personality are given by a person’s deviations from the normal. This explains why most psychologists generally would have great difficulties to inform and to confront the client with his or her negative traits. In such a situation the MBTI is an excellent instrument to give the testee some generally easy-to-accept information.

In case you have a very complicated test result with many negative conclusions it may be acceptable, useful and, in my opinion, ethical to report only the results of the relative innocent MBTI. In case you find it theoretical acceptable you might give him as much bitter medicine as you find necessary.

Dear Friends. I wonder sometimes, having been born in 1919, how many new introductions to the Szondi Forum I may publish. At present I take gymnastics three times a week. I hope that this will contribute to my writing some more introductions to the Forum.

Kind regards from your Editor and Co-Editor, Prof. Arthur C. Johnston.

May 4, 2012 / Russian Section of the Szondi Forum

Dear Szondi friends,

In the first place we, Professor Arthur C. Johnston and I, hope that you and your family had a pleasant Easter and beginning of spring. I expect that this Szondi letter will contain a great surprise for all of you.

In poetical Japanese I would give this Szondi Forum the title: "Spring Presentation of Two Jewels."

1. One of the reasons for such a poetic title is the publication herewith of a splendid introduction to Szondi’s ideas by Prof. Arthur C. Johnston. The title is: SZONDI TEST AND ITS INTEPRETATION: 2012. [See Attachment: The Szondi Test – 2012.]

Without any doubt this book of 100 pages is in my eyes a splendid introduction to the classic ideas of Szondi. It ought to be read by all students in Psychiatry and Psychology.

2. The next interesting and valuable surprise (Jewel 2) has great historic value. It can be published (and is truly a gift to the Szondi movement) thanks to the generosity of Richard Hughes. [See Attachment: Hughes-Szondi letters article.]

Prof. Hughes allows us to publish his correspondence with Szondi over many years. This has great historical value, and I feel proud that one of my last contributions to the Szondi Forum has achieved such a high standard. The copy of this correspondence, together with Prof. Arthur C. Johnston’s description of Szondi's work, make this newsletter in my eyes one of the most important and enlightening events ever published before on the Szondi Forum!

Before I finish I want to thank my friend (Co-editor) Prof. Johnston for his great generosity translating for us and the Szondi Forum so many valuable articles and books. For me this new contribution is a highpoint in the history of the Szondi Form. [Prof. Johnston’s collected works are now also on the Anthropopsychiatry web site http://home.scarlet.be/cep under the title Nouvelles Archives du CEP and then Navigatie Translations by Arthur C. Johnston.]

It makes me very happy to publish herewith two such high quality contributions while gradually coming to the end of my work (expecting to become 93 this year).

I am sure I speak in the name of the Szondi movement (professionals and interested readers) that we hope that Prof. Johnston can continue with his eminent contributions.

At the same time this reminds me of the great work done by our technical staff and the important contributions by my own family. The technicians are our two (Ukraine) computer specialists: Slavic Sjibajev and his wife Oksana: they have since the beginning of my publication of the Szondi Forum in 1995 assisted me by transforming Szondi text into web material for the Szondi Forum. ALL this work was done by them "Free of Charge"! Since the beginning of our collaboration, I have with great respect followed the development of Slavick. He succeeded, after many years working during the day and studying during the evening, to become a highly qualified specialist. Thanks to his studies he works at present as an adviser for a USA firm. I am sure I speak for all of you when I thank them both for their assistance and wish them the best of luck!

As for my family I have in the first place to thank my wife Gunnel Berlips, who had the patience to stand the many hours I spent working with the Forum. Moreover it was she who sponsored the Forum, right from the start, by way of her firm "Motivations Analysis.”

January 24 2012 / Russian Section of the Szondi Forum

Dear Friends,

In the first place we, Prof. Arthur C. Johnston and I, thank you for your New Year wishes and hope you and your families have a successful and happy continuation of 2012. Moreover I thank you for your kind birthday messages.

I feel happy that my original goal in 1996 to set up a Szondi information site became successful. Since then the Forum has published many articles in several languages, since recently also in Russian.

The quality of our Forum improved immensely when Prof. Arthur C. Johnston became a highly appreciated collaborator as a Co-Editor. The quality of the English text and content improved clearly. He succeeded since then to translate many important Szondi articles, from French and German. Moreover he did publish much of his own work, of which the book Narcissism and D. G. Rossette’s The House of Life was the most important one.

However I feel especially proud to publish this January 2012 a splendid great translation by him. He presents thereby as, in my opinion the Crown Jewel of the Forum, an impressive successful translation of a good portion of Szondi's masterwork Ich-Analyse. Not only that he made a perfect translation, but he succeeded moreover to present important explanations and commentaries to his translation. [See attachment PDFs labeled I. Ego Analysis and II. Szondi Ego Defenses and Sublimination.]

As a complement to Szondi’s masterwork are included excerpts from an English translation by Gertrude Aull of his early edition of Experimental Diagnostics of Drives. [See attachment.]

As it is my intention, due to my age (The end of December I became 92) to reduce my contributions to the Forum, Johnston's impressive translation gives me a chance to make an honorable full retreat. However I still will continue to take the juridical responsibility of the Forums’ Internet publications of the forum. Instead I will take the time to read important Buddhist literature.

As most of you might already know Szondi's main assistant, Prof. Jacques Schotte, developed Fate Analysis in many ways. His followers publish a successful and valuable internet site, represented by their secretary Psychiatrist Robert Maebe: Pathoanalytical site http://home.scarlet.be/cep , However most of the articles there are written in French. For example, here is the latest:



(See the attachment “French Book News” for information on this book and how to obtain it.) Following are a list of the French titles available at http://home.scarlet.be/cep/CAHIERS/cahier.htm on the pathoanalysis web site:

>
> Andere
> MELON, J., Théorie et pratique du Szondi, Ulg 1995
> DERLEYN, P., Manuel théorique et pratique du Szondi, Hayez, Bruxelles, 2008

On Maebe’s site you also will find a successful Szondi calculation program by which one can save much valuable time when planning to interpret the Szondi test.

You will also find on the pathoanalysis site a series of valuable lectures in French (auditory and visual) made by Jacques Schotte. In case you want to get a rapid survey of Schotte's ideas -- in English -- just press his picture in the upper right hand corner when you open the Forum, You can do the same in case you want you to get a short survey of Szondi's ideas. (Just press Szondi's picture on the upper left hand corner and the text appears.)

And finally for our Russian friends, Vladimir Djos on the Russian Section of the Szondi Forum has added as PDF attachments the Russian translations of his articles that appeared in English in the last newsletter.

October 15 2011

Dear Readers,

There are two themes for this newsletter: (1) Introduction to Vladimir Dzhos (also Djos and Jos in English), a Russian who is the Editor of the new Russian Section of the Szondi Forum, and the English versions of some of his Russian articles and his Szondi-like test on criminality; and (2) the theme of “Destiny and Fate” that includes works by Vladimir Djos, Richard Hughes, and Arthur Johnston.

1. The new Russian Section of the Szondi Forum and its Editor Vladimir Djos. Recently, I came in contact with Vladimir, who is from Moldavia, and learned of his extensive knowledge and work on Szondi. His field is criminology, where he has applied Szondi’s ideas. He is fluent in Russian, Ukranian, and Polish languages and, thus, understands all Slavonic languages. He can communicate in English and translate German into Russian. Like me, he is versed in many languages. He annually visits many followers of Szondi in Russia and has been in close contact with Olga Dyachenko and Andrey V. Tikhomirov, whom I have know for over a decade, and are part of a group of Russian enthusiasts for Szondi’s Schicksalsanalyse and are in Ekaterinburg, Russia. Thus, In Russia, there are select groups that would like to be able to read in Russian the newsletter of the Szondi Forum and to have access to works by Russians like Vladimir Djos on Szondi’s ideas. Fortunate for them, Vladimir has agreed to take on this task as Editor of the Russian Section of the Szondi Forum.

To give you an idea of Vladimir’s dedication to the spread of Szondi’s ideas, I will cite some of his translations of Szondi’s works. Over a period of ten years—and remember that Vladimir has a full time job—he translated the 1972 German edition of Lehrbuch der Experimentellen Triebdiagnostik and presently is doing final editing work on the Russian version of the 1952 English translation of this Szondi work. Vladimir has also done a Russian translation of the huge Szondi work Triebpathologie by an intense effort of full time labor for a year and a half. As a translator myself, I can appreciate the effort and work involved in these endeavors.

Besides the articles on Szondi that we’ll discuss shortly as part of the Destiny and Fate theme, I want to introduce Vladimir Djos’ projective test for his Criminality Index and the Orientation Ratio either towards the past or the future. If you would like to take this test before reading the articles explaining it, select the PDF entitled “III-Slavonic Love Story-2 Test” in the attachments section below. Then, to calculate the results, use “V-Calculation Sheet for Love-Story-2 Test” in the attachments section. This test adds another insight into one’s personality as already given by the “Dur-Moll Index” and the “Sociability Index” of Szondi. For the thinking behind this projective test of Vladimir’s test, read his article “IV-DjosV-Love Story-2 Article” in the attachments section.

2. Our second theme is “Destiny and Fate.” I have chosen this theme because soon after receiving Vladimir’s articles including “POST-DARWIN EVOLUTION OF MAN IN FATE-ANALYSIS,” which explores mankind’s destiny and fate from several perspectives including Darwin, theologians, Szondi, and Vladimir’s own analysis, I received an article from Richard A. Hughes. As you all know, he is the author of many books including his popular Return of the Ancestor and The Radiant Shock of Death and numerous articles. For many years, Richard A. Hughes pondered the questions involved in the concepts of Destiny and Fate. Like Vladimir Djos, Hughes explored the views of others on this topic: Paul Tillich, Sigmund Freud, Rollo May, C. G. Jung, and Szondi. And, of course, Hughes gave his own interpretations of these two terms destiny and fate. It is indeed fortunate that this thoughtful article of Hughes arrived at this time. See below for the attachment “The Concept of Destiny in Depth Psychology and Theology.” Hughes also request that his book The Radiant Shock of Death be put back on the Szondi Forum, so see the attachment for this.

For Vladimir Djos’ article, see attachment “I. Post-Darwin and Fate-Analysis.” Vladimir also has another article on a provocative subject “THE CONCEPT OF ENERGY AND FATE-ANALYSIS,” where Vladimir challenges Szondi’s concept of the origin of energy as a fellow scientist. See attachment “II-Energy and Fate-Analysis.”

On this theme of Destiny and Fate, Arthur C. Johnston’s book Narcissism and D. G. Rossetti’s The House of Life that is on the Szondi Forum also covers the role of fate in an artist’s life. Johnston used some of Szondi’s ideas such as projection, inflation, introjection, and ego formations. Although Szondi’s concept of negation is not precisely designated, the concept of will and discipline are its substitutes.

This book is focused on the Narcissus myth and all its ramifications. The course of the artist’s life as depicted in the sonnet sequence of The House of Life follows that of the ego circuit of functions. The last part of the sonnet sequence is entitled “Youth and Fate.” And Chapter VI of the book shows the artist confronting the issues of fate and death as depicted by Richard A. Hughes in his article.

Although the reader will be thrust into the middle of the issues, it will not be too difficult to see the overall structure of the book and its ideas. So see attachment “Youth and Fate Chapter” for D. G. Rossetti’s interpretation of the life and psychology of an artist who faces grief, artistic works of poetry and painting, fate, and death and makes his choice whether to follow a spiritual path or that of his feminine soul.

June 21 2011

Dear Readers,

The main theme of this Newsletter is "Psychopathology" (Drive and Ego Pathology).

This made me feel rather proud of myself in having been an active agent in this development.

However to tell you the truth I soon became modest again when I reminded myself also of Goethe's words: "Ich habe niemals von einem Verbrechen gehört das auch ich nicht hätte ausführen könnte". Or Benjamin Franklin when he saw a drunkard lying in the gutters: "But there, but for the Grace of the Lord, lay I".

Anyhow, dear readers, I do hope you find this newsletter a source of information in this field. The main knowledge originated in Leopold Szondi's and his disciple Prof. Schotte's works.

1. However this time the main reason we selected this theme of psychopathology was my reference, in our Easter 2011 Newsletter, to the contributions of Stanislaw Grof in this field. Most of his discoveries got lost when LSD was forbidden. Again reading the main chapters in his standard work LSD Psychotherapy proved to me again that Grof indeed had contributed valuable insights. It looked to me that Grof had discovered and showed in his book quite a new dimension of the psyche: A layer located in between Freud’s Personal Unconscious and Szondi's Familial Unconscious.

Grof described four stages of development called “Basic Perinatal Matrices” where each corresponded to clinical stages. These were:

BPM 2 (Antagonism Toward Mother).
LSD subjects with this experimental pattern frequently relate to the very onset of the biological delivery and to its first clinical stage.

BPM 4 (Separation from Mother) This perinatal matrix seems to be meaningfully related to the third clinical stage of delivery.

2. Moreover I will describe my own meeting with Grof during the first workshop he held in south Germany around the middle of the eighties. There he introduced his replacement method called “Holotropic” therapy that he used instead of his former and now forbidden LSD therapy.

For me this method was no surprise as I had already used this therapy form (forced breathing) as a part of my work. However I considered this method as a form of Primal Therapy, breaking down most of the defense mechanism of the client. Thanks to my training in Psychodrama, I could “follow up” this more or less forced opening of the patient’s personality. Instead he could, with the assistance of the drama director and the members of his group, build up a healthier way of disposing the patient’s energy.

3. In connection with this main topic of drive pathology, with our June news 2011, we refer you who can read French to the following interesting article written by Prof. Jaques Schotte, who presents the view of Pathoanalysis:
" Perversions et psychiatrie, sexologie, psychanalyse (notes rédigées par Ph. Lekeuche)" (123 pages). Written in 1984.

4. On this theme of psychopathology, more than fifty years ago, I started studying Szondi's Triebpathologie, Vol. 1: “Der exakten Triebpatologie und Triebpsychiatrie,” published by H.Huber, Bern 1952.

5. You can get a deeper insight into the connection of psychopathology with the Ego disturbances in this field by reading the excellent translation by Prof. Arthur Johnston with the title "Introjection and Incorporation" (pages 68 – 97, Ego Analysis*). You will find these in “Collected Works of A. C. Johnston” in the 15.09.2010 newsletter. [*Szondi’s Ich-Analyse: Die Grundlage zur Vereinigung der Tiefenpsychologie.]

Szondi News. Easter Edition 201111

Dear Szondi friends,

Herewith we publish the following articles:

• 1. General Information about the XIXth Congress of the International Szondi Association. Nice, France: 18-21 July 2011
• 2. The “Dur/Moll” relationship.

This article is a summary, made by Prof. Arthur C. Johnston. It describes how the Szondi Test, by way of the “Dur/Moll” relationship, can make a successful differential diagnosis of the existing relationship between masculine and feminine tendencies in the testee. This insight ought to be of great importance for those specialists who must decide the psychic gender of the person who want to change his/her sex.

• 3. Refers to the publication of all "Notes originales des cours de J.Schotte”.
• 4. An article about “Ego Dialectics” by your editor.
• 5. “Latency en Puberteit” presents an article – in Dutch – written by Jean Mélon

=========================================================================================================

3. This article refers to the fact that the collaborators of the Pathoanalytic movement decided to publish all the "Notes originales des cours de J.Schotte".

You can find these by selecting: "Archives supplémentaires". (on the left side of the CEP openings page). You can get more detailed information about this project at the >Unité CAPP, Faculté de Psychologie, Place du Cardinal Mercier 10. 1348 LOUVAIN-LA NEUVE. Contact. mme.M.-C.Declève.tél: 010/47.42.78 (matin). fax: 010/74.86.23.

These publications are an important contribution to the Szondi movement because they give, in French, a detailed survey of the development of "Pathoanalyse" (antropsychiatrie). The first article in this serial has the title: "Se mouvoir et sentir: Le cycle de la forme de fonctionnement vivant (à propos de V.Von Weiszsaecker").

This article was written by Schotte in the years: 1967-69 and finishes - at present - with the title: "L´homme paroxysmal". (The paroxysmal person and was written in 1992-93 .) More articles are to be published.

Looking at this list I especially noticed Schotte’s article- Nr. 2 -"Perversions et Psychiatrie" (143 pages).

This title reminded me of the great discoveries made in this field, during the 70’s by the Stanislaw Grof. (www.holotropic.com) He described them in his book <“LSD. Psychotherapy, 1980, 347 pages< . There he describes the connection between psychopathology and a new level of unconsciousness, originating in the so called “Perinatal phase” (Birth Agony)”. According to his findings this part of unconsciousness ought to be located somewhere on the level after Jung’s Archetypes and in between Szondi’s “Familial Unconsciousness” and Freud’s “Personal unconsciousness”.

Unfortunately, due to the prohibiton of LSD, this important discovery also was thrown overboard and seemingly forgotten! However, I expect that many Szondi news readers will find it worthwhile to know more about the essentials of Grof’s work at present called “Holotropic therapy”. Therefore we plan, in the next Szondi newsletter, to give a more detailed survey of the essential of his discoveries, as presented in the chapter “Psychodynamic Experiences”.

In this connection I remind you also of an article by Jean Mélon. You find it in Cahier Nr. 8. with the title ”Abus sexuel, sadisme et masochisme”.

4. This article has the title; “Ego Dialectics, as Reflected in Culture, Literature and Psychotherapy: An application of Szondi’s Ego Dynamics”. It was originally written by me during the 70s as an introduction to the guiding principles of my group therapy.

5. We finish this News with an article -- written in Dutch -- by Jean Mélon titled: "Toepassing van de test en de theorien van Szondi op de Latentiefase". The original text was published in 1980 in "Les feuillets psychiatriques de Liège13/2, 140-159.

I finish this newsletter by thanking our Web directors (in Odessa) Slavick and Oksana Sjibajev for their generous “free of charge” work to publish these important articles.

Dear Friends,

Here follows a New Szondi newsletter, which in the first place expresses our wish that we hope that the New Year started in the best way possible for you and your family.

Moreover, I have the good news for you that each day the Szondiforum is visited by 170 visitors, which also is expressed by the fact that the >www.szondiforum.org< Forum shows as the first reference to the search word Szondi on the Google information site.

This Szondi news letter contains:

1. Details about the new Szondi Congress on July 18-21, 2011 in Nice.

2. A survey of the chapters in the New Szondiana.

3. An article by Prof. Arthur C. Johnston with the title:
"Lüscher Colors and Cube,
Borg’s Interpretation of Szondi Drive Factors,
and Original Positioning of Character Cubes."

4. The visual expression of the interrelationship among main personality items, expressed by another article of Prof. Arthur C. Johnston with the title: "Character Cubes." This article directly relates to the previous article.

5. Updated version of Leo Berlips’ article “Part 1 – Color and the Szondi Test” that appeared in the June 15, 2010 newsletter.

I found Johnston's article Nr. 3, which presents in concentrated form Prof. Borg's interpretations, fascinating reading because the article is an excellent example of how, clearly and in detail, Szondi's theory can be presented in concentrated form.

In my opinion one might use this article even as an intensive short course (an Introduction) to Szondi psychology.

Reading these two articles I am sure that many of you will, like me, be very happy that Prof. Johnston became Co-Editor for the Szondi Forum! His collected works are in an attachment to the September 15, 2010 newsletter.

We hope that you find this information worthwhile.

In the present Szondi News, Prof. Arthur C. Johnston and I have the pleasure to publish an important, exclusive article about today's highest theoretical knowledge of the Szondi test. This article has 81 pages. It presents the brilliant work of Jean Mélon's most gifted student KARL LOUVET, who worked out, developed and presented his advanced theory about the nested positions and hierarchy of Szondi factors, called Matthew 22, 21 method of interpretation.

As Prof. A. C Johnston pointed to me, much of this material was already published in short articles on the >www.szondforum.org<. He described the origin of this new translation in an email to me in the following words:

This reference above shows clearly how much work Prof. Johnston has put in this new translation. If you want to read these articles in French take then:
Therefore I will already here, together with all readers of the Szondi forum, express our gratitude for all the translations he, voluntarily and free of charge, has made in the service of the Szondi movement.
I am sure all Szondi workers will feel the same as me, in casu, very grateful for his efforts.

Many of Karl Luvet’s original writings in French you may find on: roma@yucom.be

Dear Szondi Readers,

Herewith we present a new Szondi Newsletter which contains the following main items:

1. Information about the Next Szondi Congress.

2. A translation by Prof. Arthur C. Johnston of a chapter from Ulrich Moser’s book Psychologie Der Arbeitswahl und der Arbeitsstörungen [Psychology of Work Choice and Work Disturbances] about the connection between the Szondi test and job selection. Ulrich Moser, a traditional psychoanalyst, wrote his book in 1953. He has some innovative ideas on Szondi's ideas of choice of occupations that have validity for today's world. When reading his work, one must remember that his traditional psychoanalytic views were those of many of his fellow psychoanalysts and that the world has greatly changed since the 1950s. Once you have read his chapter that is focused on Szondi's work choice ideas, you would find the rest of his book--written in German--full of many insights into one's work choice and work disturbances.

Dear Szondi friends,

Herewith follows a new Szondi Newsletter. It contains first some general information.

1) The protest to give the word “introvert” a psychiatric connotation. By Gisella Welter.
2) Some information by Ines Grämiger about a Klapper test by which subjects (patients) might test themselves with the Szondi pictures.

However the main part of this Newsletter is an article written by me about the “Dialectics of the Lüscher Colour test,”/According to the Late Prof. Jacobi Borg.

It is a result of many discussions with Prof. Arthur C. Johnston, without whom I never would have arrived to put so much knowledge about colour psychology in such a relatively short article.

I regard it to be the actual short “summa summarium” of knowledge about Borg’s view about the Lüscher and the Szondi test.

For a more extended presentation about this subject I refer to Jacobi Borg’s two excellent books: Szondi’s Personality Theory in the year 2000 and Drive Emotions and Colour Preferences: Szondi’s Personality Theory in the Year 2004.

We wish you all who live in the North Hemisphere a nice summer and to those who live in the Southern Hemisphere a nice winter.

Dear Szondi friends,

OBS: First I have to mention an unpleasant fact: Somebody misuses my Szondi web address by changing some letters into bigger format and causes by this a deviation to his website.

However I have also very good news. On 15 April the Forum had been visited by more than 250.000 visitors! We thank all of you who made this possible!

As for the coming Szondi Congress I have at this moment no information yet. As soon as we get information we will publish this.

----------------------------------------

Herewith is attached the English translation of an article about Piaget. The original French text we had published two years ago. Already then we considered this article to have great value for the acceptance of the Szondi test as a scientific instrument.

This consideration was based on the fact that the famous American thinker Ken Wilber had came to the conclusion that Piaget was the only one who had presented a real "scientific theory of psychology". Ken Wilber's judgment was based on his exposure of all the other known psychological theories (systems) to a severe scientific norm system.

In the foreword to the French article we underlined, already then, that the positive conclusion of such a great scholar might contribute to make the Szondi test more acceptable in larger circles (Salongfähig). This conclusion might become still stronger if one, at the same time,would mention the very positive results of Prof. Jaakoo Gabriel Borg's validity research of the Szondi test as described in his books [Szondi's Personality Theory in the year 2000 and Drive Emotions and Color Preferences: Szondi's Personality Theory in the year 2004].

We herewith thank Professor Arthur. C. Johnston for his excellent English translation and hope it will spread still more knowledge about the Szondi test's value. (The original French article is also attached to this document).

We wish you all a very pleasant summer!

Dear Szondi friends,

Observe: The picture that shows the awarding of Mélon’s Laudatio is taken from http://home.scarlet.be

On Saturday 03 11 2008 the Szondi prize 2008 was given to Dr. Jean Mélon by Mrs. Esther Genton-Meyer in the name of the Szondi foundation.

Herewith follows our first Newsletter in 2010. The content mainly refers to the "Laudatio" of Jean Mélon, of which I first became conscious by way of the last Szondiana. We publish therefore herewith in the first place its original in French and its English translation by Arthur C. Johnston and me.

Moreover we will publish the original text in French of his article "Quarante ans avec Szondi." (Forty Years with Szondi). In case some of you might be interested that this article should be translated, just write me some lines (leo@berlips.se).

As it is only possible to write about Jean Mélon’s intellectual development (Werdegang) by mentioning his tutor Prof. Jacques Schotte, I advice you to note the picture of Schotte on the top of the Forum. Click on the picture and then you can read in French and English about the great contributions Schotte made to the Szondi movement.

In case you understand French I moreover highly recommend you to look at Bob Maebe’s excellent website: http://home.scarlet.be. Bob has, moreover, succeeded to add to his site many important video sequences. (For instance 9 videos -- of approximately 10 minutes each -- in which Schotte presents his theory about Pathoanalyse) You will discover there many other videos, e.g. a complete "Rorschach Trainings Program" in French)

We, Dr. Arthur C. Johnston and I hope you will find these articles worthwhile to read and look forward for your commentaries.

This time the Szondi news is relative short and will contain:

1. My favorite picture of Szondi, showing him lecturing in Leuven (Louvain, Belgium) at the beginning of the sixties.
Note: "Soon it will be fifty years ago I started studying his books but still I have the same enthusiasm for his contributions to "Depth psychology."

2. A powerpoint presentation of Fate Analysis and Pathoanalysis (English text) on Web site address: http://home.scarlet.be/cep/ROMAE/introsz.pdf. This was taken from the Szondi-twin site: http://home.scarlet.be/~tsc32552/.

At this site you will find important information about the second phase of Szondi's theoretical development, called: PATHOANALYSE (which I call in short hand for "the New Testament"). You will find there a biography in English when clicking on the picture of Prof. Jacques Schotte, at the beginning of the Szondiforum. The same is true for the biography of Szondi which you can get by also clicking on the picture of Szondi.

3. A Web site reference to an article -- in German-- by Freud, supporting Szondi?s use of psychiatric patients as his main reference points: http://www.feliz.de/html/freud.htm. (An English version is available: Strachey, James. (1966). Standard edition of the complete psychological works of Sigmund Freud London: Hogarth.).

Dear Szondi Friends,

01009 Lund, Sweden

Due to the fact that I still more or less was compelled to take care for the content of the >www.szondiforum.org>. I will take again take over the function as its OFFICIAL REDACTOR. This will be made easier because Dr. Arthur C. Johnston promised (acjohns2@verizon.net) to assist me. Likewise my wife Gunnel Berlips (gunnel@berlips.org) has promised me to continue to sponsor the Szondi Forum in the future.

This news together with the fact that about the same the Szondi Forum is close to have 250,000 downloads, will be the best present I can get when I become 90 this 27 December.

The greatest News in this Newsletter is that we at last can publish Karl Louvet's dissertation on "Creators and the Szondi Test", translated from French into English by Dr. Arthur C. Johnston. I am sure we all may thank both Karl Louvet as well as Dr. Johnston for their great contributions to the Szondi Forum. At the same time I want to thank also my web technicians Vyacheslav Shybayev (slashi@gmail.com) -- in English: Slavick Sjubajev -- and his wife Oksana for their continuous free-of-charge servicing the Szondi Forum's website, located in Odessa.

Download links:

Moreover we will publish the following information:

We hope you find this Szondi news valuable for you and send you all our very best Szondi greetings.

======================================================================================

Herewith follow the Compendia of Ines Gramiger, I certainly can recommend these very clear and concise surveys of the Szondi theory. Leo Berlips.

======================================================================================
2) KOMPENDIEN DER SCHICKSALSANALYS UND DES SZONDI-TESTES von Ines Gramiger; Uebersicht uber die Inhalte

Scha.= Schicksalsanalyse. Kom. =Kompendium _______________________________________________________________

A) Wichtigste Kompendien der SCHICKSALSANALYSE/SCHICKSALSPSYCHOLOGIE:_Komp.der Scha.IV (das „weiteste“ Kompendium – zum Einstieg und als Uebersicht) (Fr. 50.--/120 Seiten)

Zusammenfassung der gesamten Thesen und Tabellen zur Schicksals-psychologie in neuen, modernen Schemata und Kurztexten (neu gestaltet von I.Gramiger)

Die Tabellen sind das wichtigste Handwerkszeug fur die Anwendung der Be-durfnistheorie in der Praxis – einem Manual entsprechend.

Die Tabellen sind deshalb auch zweifach enthalten, damit eine Serie herausgetrennt werden kann fur die „tagliche Begleitung“ in Zeigemapplis.

Inhalte: Schemata der gesunden Bedurfnisse, samtlicher Berufe und Krankheiten.

Thesen der Entwicklungspsychologie, der Entwicklung des Ichs, der Gesund-heitslehre/Salutogenese, der Glaubensfunktionen, der Krankheits- und Neuro-senlehre / Psychopathologie und Differentialdiagnostik.

Kurzer Ueberblick uber den Szondi-Test und seine Auswertungsaspekte.______________________________________________

Komp. der Scha.III

(das „intensivste“ Kompendium - zur Vertiefung in die Bedurfnisse / Faktoren) - als Nachfolge-Lekture auf Komp. der Scha.IV

(Fr. 38.--/ 100 Seiten)

Vertiefungslekture zum umfassenden Verstandnis der 8 Bedurfnisse der Schicksalsanalyse in samtlichen Manifestationsformen des Lebens.

In der Formulierung knapp und stichwortartig gehalten. Jedes Bedurfnis wird komplex aus verschiedensten Perspektiven beleuchtet: aus der Sicht des fotographierten Szondi-Test-Portraits, dessen Neurosenlehre und der Entwick-lungstufe seiner Genese.

Von diesem Verstandnis der kranken Manifestationsform aus werden die ge-sunden seelischen Normalfunktionen , die korperlichen Entsprechungen in Or-ganen, Korperteilen und Sinnen abgeleitet sowie die operotropen Moglichkeiten (d.h. die Vorlieben fur bestimmte Materialien, Objekte, Tatigkeiten und Berufe).

Ebenso werden sodann die morbotropen/krankhafen und kriminellen Mani-festationen abgeleitet.

Am Schluss werden beruhmte Personlichkeiten, spezifische Kulturen als Manifestanten der Bedurfnisse aufgefuhrt.

In diesem Komp. sind keine scha. Grundprinzipien oder ubergreifenden Sche-mata enthalten (dazu wird auf das Komp. der Scha. IV verwiesen)._______________________________________________________

Psychopathologie und Neurosenlehre

(Fr. 50.--/126 Seiten)

Klassische sowie spezifisch schicksalspsychologische Definitionen

aller seelischen Krankheiten und deren Psychodynamik.

Einfuhrung in die spezifisch schicksalsanalytische Krankheitslehre, welche die genialen Definitionen aber auch sehr komplexen Texte und Theorien von L.Szondi in moderner und einfacher Form zusammenfasst und erweitert durch neue Krankheiten und Erkenntnisse.

Das Komp. ist auch fur psychologische Laien geschrieben (die szondianischen Codes und Kommentare finden sich in Klammern).

Die Krankheiten werden gemass der Bedurfnislehre der Scha. unterteilt in :

. Sexualstorungen (Perversionen, Inversionen etc.)

. Affekt- und Anfallskrankheiten (Affektepilepsie, Hysterie)

. Icherkrankungen (Schizophrenien/Psychosen, Perversionen, Zwang, Person-

lichkeits- und narzisstische Ichstorungen)

. Kontakt- und orale Storungen (Psychosen, Borderline, Depression, Manie,

orale Suchte, Essstorungen, Akzeptations-Neurose).

Aufgrund der von Szondi sehr dynamisch geschilderten Entstehungsgeschich-te und Abwehrynamik wird eine Krankheit von tief innen verstehbar und ist auch der therapeutische Weg dadurch vorgezeichnet.

Zum Schluss ist jede Krankheitsgruppe (zwecks Uebersicht und als Repe-titorium) in einem Mind-Mapping-System auf einer oder mehreren Seiten ubersichtlich und stichwortartig zusammengefasst.

________________________________________________________________

B) Wichtigste Kompendien zum SZONDI-TEST:

Komp. der Scha.I

(Metapsychologie der Scha. sowie Einfuhrungslekture zur Szondi-Test- aufnahme. Erste Szondi-Test-Auswertungen fur Anfanger)

(Fr. 25.-- / 98 Seiten)

Voraus geht eine kurze Einfuhrung in die Metapsychologie der Scha. und in den Begriff des familiaren Unbewussten.

Dann folgen Anweisungen zur Testaufnahme und Signierung, zur qualitativen Profildeutung (Rand-Mitte-Methode und Zensuranalyse), Komplementmethode (Vordergrund-Hintergrunddeutung) und zu den quantitativen Methoden (Triebformel, Latenzproportion etc.).

Dies ist eine einfache und zweckmassige Komprimierung der oft sehr komplexen Lehrbucher von L.Szondi, ist aber nur ein theoretisches Zusatz-Lehrmittel, welches durch Testubungen in Form von Kursen und Vorlesungen erganzt werden muss.

_______________________________________________________________

Manual zur Auswertung des Szondi-Test

(Handbuch zum Szondi-Test mit samtlichen Checklisten aller Auswertungs-techniken )

(Fr. 20.--/ 68 Seiten)

(Herausgegeben vom Verlag des Szondi-Institutes, aber auch via die Autorin erhaltlich)

Testologie-Handbuch mit Checklisten zur komplexen und vollstandigen Auswertung des Szondi-Testes (hochste Lernstufe )

Dieses Testologie-Handbuch ist eine hochst knappe und komplexe Deutungs-hilfe, welche alle gangigen Auswertungsmoglichkeiten auflistet (Syndrome, ty-pische Mitten, differential-diagnostische Kombinationen, Existenzformen) - aber keine Erklarungen derselben bietet. Die Erklarungen und Ableitungen sind in den andern Kompendien zu finden.

Dies ist der Schlussel, die Checkliste des beginnenden und des erfahrenen Szondi-Test-Auswerters in der Praxis.

Es enthalt auch Testnormen in Kurz-Uebersicht sowie einen Gutachtenleit-faden, dh. eine praktische Hilfe zur Strukturierung einer schriftlichen Test-auswertung und zur Kontrolle samtlicher Deutungsmethodiken.

______________________________________________________________

C) Der Familienbogen (Anamnese-Bogen zur Erhebung samtlicher anamnestischer Daten eines Probanden und seiner Familie )(Fr. 25.--)

Der Familienbogen ist eine wichtige Erganzung zur Szondi-Test-Aufnahme, zum eigenen Stammbaum, zur allgemeinen Analyse des eigenen und familiaren Schicksals – innerhalb einer autodidaktischen Selbsterforschung, einer schicksalspsychologischen Beratung oder Therapie.

Geordnet nach den 8 Bedurfnissen/Faktoren der Scha. werden charakterliche

Eigenschaften sowie Krankheitssymptome aufgelistet.

Der Proband unterstreicht fur ihn Zutreffendes mit Rot und tragt je nach Bedarf daneben alle seine Familienmitglieder, Partner, ev. Freunde in Form von Abkurzungen ein.

(z.B. M fur Mutter, V fur Vater, P 1 fur den ersten Partner, B1 fur den ersten Bruder etc.).

Dadurch erhalt der Schicksalspsychologe ein sehr klares Bild uber Charakter und Krankheiten des Probanden uber die Familie, die Familiendynamik aber auch uber die Liebes- und Partnerwahlen.

Der Proband arbeitet daran selbstandig zuhause, was langwierige, zeitlich unokonomische und kostenintensive Anamnesegesprache weitgehend ersetzen kann.

Durch die Auflistung samtlicher moglicher Symptome wird auch garantiert, dass kein Symptom in der Besprechung vergessen geht.

_______________________________________________________________

D) Weitere Kompendien der Scha.:

_______________________________________________________

Komp. der Scha. II

(Einfuhrung ins szondianische Triebsystem )

(Fr. 25.--/ 77 Seiten)

. Ichabwehrformen als Mittel fur die Differential-Diagnostik

. Phasen der Ich-Entwicklung in den Altersstufen

. Gegenuberstellung der Funktionen der beiden Hirnhalften( k und p )

. weibliches und mannliches Ich

. Verlassenheitsthematik und Ichfunktionen

Szondi Newsletter 010409

Dear Szondi friends,
010409
Herewith I publish with much delay my Szondi Newsletter of the first of December 2008. The main content of this News contains the second and last part of information about effective short personality tests. This information will also be the last I send out on the Forum, because after I having published this:

I will finish my work as the Editor of the Szondiforum.

The main reason for this that I want more time for myself and have not any more the same energy as when I started the Forum, due to the fact that I hope to be 90 y. in December..

The Forum will be changed, according to a suggestion made by my website provider Slavick Sjibajev. He will assist me to transform it by using a program called "User Generated Content" (UGC). This will give all of you, Szondi professionals, a chance to share on the Forum your knowledge, research results, etc. etc. In this way the Forum would therewith get a live of its own. Slavick Sjibajev and his wife Oksana promised me that they will add all required technologies to the Forum software in order that it will accept this UGC content .

In this connection my personal wish would be that Karl Louvet once again will find time to use the UGC to publish his original and stimulating articles.

As I had promised both Prof. Nicolas Durez and Mrs Ines Gramiger to publish their information before I had decided to stop with my work I will add, at the end of my December News,the relevant information they sent me.

It has been nearly fifteen years ago that I started the Forum with the assistance from my, then teenage, sons. The oldest one John Patrick , has in the mean time become a medical doctor with orthopedics as his specialty. My youngest son Jens-Leo Hubertus became, after his degree as a technical engineer, the manager of an IT company. My wife, psychologist Gunnel Berlips has quite from the start, as manager of our firm "Motivation Analysis, been sponsoring all these year the Szondi Forum Webb site. Relative soon Webbsite specialist Slavick Sjibajev took over the the technical responsabilities.

So I want in the first place thank my family, ( also in the name of the 222 250 readers who at least checked in since I started the Szondi Forum) for the patience they had with a father who spent much time (sometimes too much) working at his computer during the last 15 years.

Moreover I thank my Russian friends Slavick and Oksana for all the efforts they invested in keeping the Szondi forum in working conditions.

During these years I had also had the pleasure to have contact with many prominent Szondi professionals , who I also thank for their interest and appreciation.

Especially I am grateful to: Dr. Robert Maebe and Dr. Friedjung Juttner who both encouraged me to start the Szondiforum and to Prof. Takahisa Yamashita, who would become my best friend,( he visited me many times in Sweden and in Thailand)and who I thank for his moral support, right from the start! I would also like to thank Rolf Kenmo , who thanks to his test contributed to spread Szondi's theories.

Last but not least I would like to thank two brilliant contributors to the Szondiforum:



Dr. Jean Mèlon for his generosity, which made it possible to publish many of his valuable articles and contributions of the "Centre d'Etudes Pathoanalytiques" on the Forum (roma@yucom.be) and

Dr. Arthur C. Johnston for the many excellent Szondi translations he magnanimously donated to the Szondi movement .

Wishing you and your families the best of Luck!
