Preface
A brief introduction to this blog.
Extract from the in-depth interview with the author of this blog:
What does Greetings from the Centre mean? What does Yoda’s Couch mean? What are the Salons?
What is the motivation? What is the intellectual background? What does post-integrative mean? And what is the moral of the story?

Il bacio di Tosca – Tosca’s Kiss
Emancipation and reconciliation are interdependent.
A fictional roundtable discussion on patricide and reconciliation. An Indian guru, Master Yoda, Tyrion Lannister, Giacomo Puccini, a psychoanalyst and a psychotherapist discuss the psychological concept of patricide. They use examples from the opera Tosca, the film Star Wars, the television series Game of Thrones and a psychotherapy case report.

In Search Of The Lost Context
A selfie can be taken quickly,
Self-esteem takes more time.
A fictitious round table discussion with guests: a Zen master, an Indian guru, a psychotherapist and a neuropsychologist discuss how self-image and self-esteem develop.
The self finds resonance in the context of people, space and events. This is how self-images and self-awareness develop. Self-esteem is shaped by the quality of relationships and develops over time.

Debt-Guilt-Shame
The outer judge, the inner judge:
debt – guilt – shame.
A conversation between Dr Urs Egli, a lawyer, and Dr. med. Marc Melchert, a psychotherapist.
For the lawyer, debt makes it possible for labour and services to have a tradable value.
For the psychotherapist, feelings of guilt are a cognitive abstraction of feelings of shame.
