The author had a thorough training in depth psychology and has 40 years of professional experience. During that time, he wrote a great number of reference books. He is able to provide readers with an understanding of theory and practice, to involve them and to inspire them. His age, too, is relevant: the author, who has just turned 83, says what he thinks and what he is moved by: clearly and unmistakably. The author addresses taboo issues in the knowledge that they are topics which concern the most essential focal points of human life - and which will outlive the zeitgeist. Readers who spontaneously described their impressions (of the book's original German version) to the author are the most attentive judges, as the following excerpt from one of many readers' letter expresses: ". your work demonstrates phenomenal intellectual motion: everything flows, is converted and transformed: specialist theory into convincing examples, test results into transparent practice, dream action into symbolic values - stage directions for the consequences of a cognitive process [.]. And the case histories: as a reader, you are sitting in the comfortably upholstered proscenium box of the world theatre (well-upholstered indeed: the discourse is universally responsible, no harm will come to you), looking over the shoulder of the author at work and at last learning at first hand what holds the world thogether at its innermost core [.] I am thrilled." Those who read this book will learn to communicate with their own EGO, their own soul. It is well worth listening to the inner voice that has been awakened.
