BACKGROUND
I was first trained in hard sciences with a Scientific Baccalaureate and a first propaedeutic in mechanics at the EPFL (Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne). This background allows me to be well aware of scientific limits in the psychological field, especially when one approaches the totality of the person, i.e. his unconscious realities. During and after my studies in psychology, in Switzerland and in New York, I had the opportunity to work in residential centers for psychotic and autistic children and adolescents and as an assistant at the University of Geneva in developmental and genetic psychology. At the same time, I learned Sophrology, Yoga, mind-body therapies and spiritual philosophy.
After my graduation at the University of Geneva and the City University of New York in Developmental Psychology, I have been immersed in several psychoanalytical schools for more than 25 years. In addition, I studied transgenerational therapy, phenomenology and altered states of consciousness. My researches and discoveries on Oedipus’ myth have distant me from psychoanalytical dogma, to return to the sources of Depth Psychology, to it’s more ancient roots and to a non-dual approach of the Self, or integrative approach.
