Conversation:

My Salon is a fictional stage.
Characters from reality and fiction present their views and concepts in a debate.

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 discussion about narcissism and on the metaphysics of ADHD.

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.
