 Ad. 5 General Information:

Dear Szondi Friends,

At last I have again the possibility, thanks to my friends IT specialists Slavick and Oksana Sjibajev, to update the Forum with the  latest Szondi News. 

Especially promising for the Szondi movement is the fact that we, during the last four months, got 10.000   logg in’s on the Forum. It shows that the interest in Szondi is rising. In my opinion we have for a great part to thank Dr. Arthur C. Johnston for this progress. He has in an astonishing short time made large translations of important classical Szondi and Mélon texts. (e.g  The Szondi Course de Jean Mélon.and the translation of Szondi’s chapter  “Ego Analysis” from German. Moreover he at present corrects all my English texts-. .

As for the general policy of the Forum we have somewhat changed our objectives. Although there exists still many interesting articles to translate from French into English, (e.g. the .articles of the Cahiers) at present we plan to concentrate our contributions mainly on the “Praxis” of the Szondi test interpretation . Luckily enough for us has Dr. Jean Mélon during the last years published many interesting case histories, presented by his students at his seminars. With his usual generosity he permitted me to publish and translate them into English and transfer them to professionals.

The first translations I have already sent, by way of specific email addresses, to well known Szondi specialists.

(By the way if you want your email address taken away let me know and I will radiate it. The same in case when you get the same message twice, let us know please)

However I will try in the future to put these case histories on the Szondi Forum as “closed files” , which only  can be opened by professionals who got the specific code keyword to open them. As soon as this is working I send all of you who are in my email register this codeword. In the mean time I continue to send you these in the usual way to your private email addresses.

I will try to present as well  classical Fateanalytic-  as Pathoanalytical  interpretations , more or less following each other.

More personal information I will send you in my next Newsletter .

To finish this newsletter we send our best Szondi wishes,

Leo Berlips, Editor: >www.szondiforum.com<; >leo@berlips.com<

Dr. Arthur C. Johnston. <acjohns2@verizon.net>

 General Information in French

 Cher ami(e)s  Szondiens  ,

Enfin j'ai de nouveau la possibilité, grâce à mes amis, les  IT spécialistes Slavick et Oksana Sjibajev, pour mettre au jour un nouveau Newsletter avec  les derniéres  nouvelles du Szondi Forum. 

Significative  pour la future du mouvement de Szondi est le fait que nous, pendant les quatre derniers mois qui se sont passés, ont eu  aux moins  10.000 (! !) logg in’s sur le Forum. Il prouve définitivement  que l'intérêt dans  le Szondi mouvement monte.

 À mon avis pour une partie grande ce sont les contributions du Dr. Arthur C. Johnston qui sont la cause de ce progrès. Il a, dans une très courte durée,  effectuée plusieurs grandes traductions des textes classiques importants de Szondi et de Jean Mélon.

Quant à la politique générale du Forum nous avons en quelque sorte changée nos objectifs. Bien que il  y a encore  beaucoup d'articles intéressants à traduire du Français en Anglais, (.e.g des Cahiers) actuellement nous avons le but de nous concentrer principalement au « Praxis »  i.c `l'évaluation du test de Szondi. Heureusement Dr. Jean Mélon a pendant les dernières années publié beaucoup de case histories  intéressants, présentés par ses étudiants lors de ses séminaires. Avec sa générosité habituelle il m'a permis de les publier et traduire en Anglais et de les transférer aux professionnels.

Les premières traductions que j'ai déjà envoyées aux spécialistes, réputés en Szondi, sont faites  par medio des adresses e-mail .spécifiques,.

(D'ailleurs si vous voulez votre adresse e-mail emportée me faites savoir et je la rayonnerai).

Toutefois j'essayerai de mettre ces case histories sur le Forum en tant que « dossiers fermés », qui seulement peuvent être ouverts par les professionnels qui ont obtenu le mot clé spécifique de code pour les ouvrir. Dès que ce sera fonctionnant moi envolerai, un mot de passe a toutes les professionnels  qui sont dans mon registre.. En attendant je continue à envoyer ces case histories á ces derniers comme d'habitude à vos adresses par email privée.

J'essayerai de présenter aussi bien les dossiers Fateanalytic classique comme les évaluations Pathoanalytical.

Des données personnelles je vous enverrai  en mon prochain bulletin.

Pour finir j'envoie à  tous mes lecteurs  mes meilleurs voeux de Szondi, également au nom de Dr. M. Arthur C. Johnston.

Ad. 5 c SYSTRAN PC TRANSLATION

        Ad. 5 Informações gerais 

Caro amigos Szondien (e) s,

Por último tenho outra vez a possibilidade, graças aos meus amigos, os especialistas Slavick e Oksana Sjibajev, para pôr ao dia um novo Boletim informativo com as últimas notícias do Szondi Fórum

 !) logg dentro' s sobre o Fórum. Prova definitivamente que o interesse no Szondi movimento monta

. Ao meu parecer temos para uma parte grande a agradecer Dr. Arthur C. Johnston deste progresso. Tem muito curta numa duração efetuada de grandes traduções textos clássicos importantes de Szondi e de Melão. por exemplo o Szondi Corrida de Jean Melão. A Tradução do capítulo de Szondi “Análise do mim” de Alemão. De resto retifica actualmente todos os textos ingleses e contribui consequentemente para fair levantar a qualidade do Fórum.

Quanto política à geral do Fórum alteramos em certa medida os nossos objectivos. Embora lá exista muitos sempre artigos interessantes a traduzir do Francês em Inglês, (especial ao meu parecer .les artigos dos Cadernos) actualmente queremos concentrar o nosso trabalho principalmente sobre “o Praxis” do trabalho publicando exemplos da avaliação de teste de Szondi. Felizmente para nós tem o Sr. Jean Melão durante os últimos anos publicados muitos põe em ordem histories (relatórios clínicos) interessantes, apresentados pelos seus estagiários aquando dos seus seminários. Com a sua generosidade habitual permitiu-me publicar-o e traduzir em Inglês e transferir-o a profissionais.

As primeiras traduções, que já tenho enviado por meio dos endereços Correio electrónico específicos, aos especialistas conhecidos em Szondi. (De resto se quiser o vosso endereço enviar por correio electrónico emportée mim feitos saber e irradiar-o-ei).

Contudo tentarei no futuro pôr estes ponho em ordem histories sobre o Fórum de Szondi como “processos fechados”, que apenas podem ser abertos pelos profissionais que obtiveram a palavra chave específica para abrir-o. Logo que for que funciona envolerai este codeword todos os que estão no meu registo de Correio electrónico.

Em antecipação continuo a enviar-vos estes relatórios último aos vossos endereços Correio electrónico privados.

Tentarei apresentar igualmente os relatórios Fateanalytic- clássico como as avaliações de Pathoanalytical.

De dados pessoais enviá-los-ei no meu próximo boletim.

À todo enviamos-vos os nossos melhores desejos de Szondi, Leo Berlips, editor: > www.szondiforum.com <; >leo@berlips.com<

Dr. Arthur C. Johnston. <acjohns2@verizon.net>

Dear Szondi friends,
15 02 08. Patong, Thailand,
This Newsletter contains:
1. Information by Dr. Robert Maebe especially for Spanish speaking readers about the activities of the Pathoanalytical movement.
2. A short correction referring to the courses by Mrs. Inez Grämiger in Zürich, as presented in our last Newsletter.
3. Information from Finland from late Prof. Bohm's assistant Dr. Tuula Minkkinen and my reply to her.
4. News about the translation of one of Szondi's great masterworks "ICH ANALYSIS" into English, by Dr. Arthur Johnston
5. News about the publication of Dr.Johnston's translation of Mélons "INTRODUCTION TO PATHOANALYSE" on the site http://home.scarlet.be/cep/ and on the www.szondiforum.org
6. Personal information.


Ad.1. Information about the Pathoanalytical movement by Dr. Robert Maebe: (Translation by Systran)
"Hola,
Le damos la bienvenida a la comunidad de Szondi. Nuestro grupo belga es muy activo desde el final de los años 60 bajo impulso del profesor Dr. J. Schotte y conocido como CENTRO DE LOS ESTUDIOS PATHO-ANALYTICOS.
Usted puede visitar nuestro Web site en http://home.scarlet.be/cep/ En este sitio que más conexiones se ofrecen a otros sitios de Szondi. Apreciaríamos para oír o para leer más de usted sobre sus actividades. Dr. Robert Maebe, pour le "Centre d'Etudes Pathoanalytiques". http://home.scarlet.be/cep/
roma@yucom.be/
--------------------------------
Translation into English:
"Hello,
We welcome you to the Szondi community. Our Belgian group is very active since the end of the sixties under the impulse of Prof. Dr. J. Schotte and known as Centre d'?tudes Pathoanalytiques. You can visit our website at http://home.scarlet.be/cep/ On this site more links are offered to other Szondi sites. We would appreciate to hear or read more from you about your activities. Thank you in advance."
--------------------------------


Ad. 2. Mrs. Inez Grämiger asked me to publish the following text to make somewhat clearer the content of the information I published in the 01 12 07 Newsletter:
"The reason for this is that the "Szondi-Institute" and the Institute "ISCHAP" are two fully independent institutes."
"The official Szondi-Institut (Krähbühlstr. 30, Zürich ) motivated me to take over some education programs of the Szondi-Institute which are canceled for the moment and the HAP ( Hochschule f?r Angewandte Psychologie ) stopped totally the topic of Szondi, following the Bologna-concept ".
==========================


Ad. 3 Message from Dr. Tuula Minkkinen:

Dear Prof. Leo Berlips,
Thank you very much for your kind emails. The information is interesting. But I am so sorry to inform you that I am not able to continue the Szondi research started by the late Prof. Borg. Yours faithfully Tuula Minkkinen. Dr of psychology.
---------------------------------

My reply:
Dear Dr. Tuula Minkkinen,
With some delay I confirm herewith the reception of your email of the 24th. It really was a great disappointment for me to read that you are not continuing Prof. Borg's interesting studies. However the two books he wrote contain so much information that they for a long time may be used to get new insights in the application of colour psychology. Anyhow they made it possible for me and my friend Dr. Arthur Johnston to interpret Colour test results in a much more differentiated way. Therefore we would like herewith also to thank You for your contributions to the results Prof. Borg presented.
We wish you moreover a successful continuation of the year 2008.
With kind regards Leo Berlips.
===============================


Ad. 4. Translation of "ICH ANALYSIS"
Dr. Arthur Johnston will continue again with the translation of Szondi's "Ego Analysis". The following essential chapters are already ready for publication:

Chapter X

The Ego Concept in Schicksalsanalyse
[Fate Analysis]
===========================================
DIVISION II

ELEMENTARY EGO ANALYSIS

The Four Elementary Functions of the Ego
==========================================
CHAPTER XI

PROJECTION.
Concept and Forms of Projection
==================================
The fact that the Szondi Institute has the original copyright of the German original text and Dr. Johnston the copyright of the translation makes it temporarily impossible for me to publish this translation freely. For more information you can contact me. >leo@berlips.com<



Ad. 5
Message from Dr. Bob Maebe:
I have put the translation of Mélon's course on our forum in a copypro of pdf. You can check it on Szondi and pathoanalysis on the site: http://home.scarlet.be/cep/ at the end of the cahiers. du CEP link (left upper corner).
COMMENTARY by editor:
Several decennia ago I also translated the main parts of Mélon's course into English. Since then you could read it on the Szondi Forum. However as my knowledge of English was not perfect and certainly did not come up to the standards of Dr. Johnston, who was literature professor, I am very very happy that he made a perfect translation of Jean Mélons compendium. So I will ask my technical assistants Slavick and Oksana Shibajev to take away my former translation and exchange it with this new one.
By my own experience I certainly know how much work and time these translations take. This, together with the fact that Arthur Johnston has started on another and still more time craving translation (translating at present Szondi's "Ich Analys") , without any direct honorary reminds me of the generosity of Dr.Jean Mélon who allowed me several times to publish many important contributions of the Cahiers on the Szondi forum.
I suggest that all of you who read contributions of Jean Mélon or Arthur Johnston show them your appreciation in the way it suits you. I am sure they would appreciate it.
===================================


Ad 6: Personal information
Since the beginning of December until the end of January my wife Gunnel and I had continuously visitors at our home in Patong. Although this meant for Gunnel a still more pleasant holiday, for me it too often interrupted my planned work schedule. This, together with the often very high temperature around 33 - 35 C., reduced my possibility for replying all the emails and greetings which came in. That is also the reason why I can not write more about our results with the colour test.
Anyhow I apologize to all of you to whom I could not send a personal reply.
We were moreover, around the 15th of January, forced to make a so called "Visarun". This meant travelling to the nearest border town to get a new visum. For us this meant the border passage near Ranong in Burma. This was made necessary by the Thai law which stipulates that foreigners cannot stay longer than 3 months in Thailand and then have to pass the frontier in order to get again another visa for three months.
After nearly four months stay in Phuket, at Patong beach sometimes I really long for the cool temperatures of Sweden and to taste again Swedish food. Since many weeks we had temperatures between 33 - 35 degrees Celsius and I can assure you that it is not easy to work or study in such high temperatures, especially as we only use fans to cool our rooms. Although when I read on the internet about the actual snowstorms in South Sweden I understand that we still are lucky, especially compared to the households with were cut off of electricity due to the snow.
However after another 2 months, at the end of March, when the spring soon starts in Sweden we hope to return - si Dieu veut - again to Sweden.
For my 88th birthday I received a first class Sony digital camera and made a lot of successful pictures.
(This is not as impressive as it sounds as it is next to impossible to make bad pictures with a modern digital camera).
Ref: Bargirls:
In some of my former personal reports I have sometimes taken up the disgusting situation of hundred thousands of women in Thailand who have next to no social assurance and have to sell their bodies in order that their family can survive. This time I got a still better insight in one of the main causes why nearly 80 % of the bargirls who come from Isan, a province in the poor North of Thailand, work with prostitution in Thailand, and especially in its main tourist centre Phuket.
The source of this specific information is the dairy of a bargirl she wrote with two Americans, apparently social workers. The book does not only give the tragic story of this girl but in between there are many sociological and statistical references to the situation in Thailand that the girls described.
I read the book in French, with the title "á 13 ans... la vie commence", by Jules Manzares et Derek Kent. Edition Bamboo Sinfonia Info in English: www.Only13.net

The girls and co-authors describe that the main reason for the girls to become prostitutes has to do with a kind of clan relation ship the girls have with their families. She does no exist as an individual so to say. It is a well known standard expression here, coined by foreigners who have a relationship with a Thai girl, that "when one marries the girl one marries at the same time the whole family".
The first thing the girl learns is that she, and not the boys (!), will be responsible for the income of the family and especially for the welfare of her mother. She is exposed to such a strong brainwashing by the mother and family that she in most of cases never anymore can feel free of this duty. As she never gets any chance of education neither the only way for her is either to work for less than 25 bath (5 Swedish Crowns) in a factory or shop or to prostitute herself. Then she can get ca 1000 Bath for a night. The mother and family are of course more interested when she transfers 1000 Bath. So the press on the girl is enormous.
This has the most incredible consequences. I saw two pictures in the Bangkok Post where one shows a bright modern villa which the mother had bought with the money her daughter had earned with prostitution in Japan. The other picture showed the daughter living next to her in poverty, with her two children living in a kind of miserable hut. Moreover after the mother has taken the lion part of the money the girl earned, another part is used for her brothers to buy a motor cycle etc. The same brother who when the girl was young has probably beaten her and was spoilt by the mother. This may sound like an exaggerated story but unfortunately it is true in most cases.
Of course there are other contributing causes, e.g. the general tradition of prostitution in East Asia where it always has been a normal situation. But the real cause is the miserable poor economic condition in the North East of Thailand. However I suggest you read the book yourself to find out for yourself how conditions are.
So far as for my vieuwpoints on the bargirls.

Szondi News, 01 12 2007.

Dear Friends,
This newsletter contains:
1. Memorial Prof. Jacques Schotte in English.
2. Information about the Szondicongress in 2008 in French and English.
3. Info about a new Szondi trainings Institute in Zurich.
4. Latest report about my trip to Thailand.
Ad. 1) You who read French have already been informed by the Szondi forum about the great loss in modern psychiatry by the death of Prof. Jacques Schotte. It was Schotte with his collaborators who developed "Pathoanalyse", a further development of Szondi's Fateanalysis. (If you press on the picture of Schotte you can find more information , this pix was made when Schotte was standing in front of his family home)

In the beginning of the sixties I was introduced to Leopold Szondi and to Schotte by my friend Martin Achtnich, creator of the BBT test and Ewald Bohm, the great Rorschach test specialist. Although I had in those days no formal certificates yet, I could only refer to my 200 pages translation into Swedish of the main points of Szondi's work. Nvertheless I was immediately accepted in the Szondi circle.

For me it was very stimulating to meet these two intellectual giants and I hope that by creating the Szondi Forum I have shown my gratitude for the great moral support this has meant to me in those days.

I specially remember a visit to Prof Schotte in Gent, his town of birth, together with Dr. Maebe and Prof. Takahkisa. Schotte guided us around in his beautiful home town and showed us also his house and library. The later was next to overflowing the house and I join some pictures to show this.

Unfortunately I have no time or energy to translate the interesting French articles I e.g from "Le Monde" which in a short form clearly show that Schotte can be considered as an intellectual of world format. He called himself sometimes ""The last of the Romans" (Le dernier des Romaines) referring to the rise of intellectual barbarism and vulgarity in modern time's standard. His death was a great loss for modern psychiatry and philosophy.

Ad. 3
A NEW INSTITUTE for training in FATE ANALYSIS (ISCHAP) was opened in ZURICH in 2007 by Mrs INES GRAMIGER.

Institute ISCHAP: Iinterdisziplinare SCHA = Schickalsanalsye (Fateanalysis) P(psychology). The official Szondi-Institute in Zurich ( Krahbuhlstr. 30) asked her to take over the education program of Schicksalsanalyse (Fateanalysis).

It will be an interdisciplinary institute, which is working together with teachers from other disciplines.

She will train her students by an individual Curriculum. The student decides, which aspects of Szondi he wants to learn (how, when, degree of intensity, how long etc.) and she will create an individual program to reach this goal.

It will also be possible for people from foreign countries to study at the new institute (for example by staying in Zurich for a week or more while assisting at daily and concentrated meetings, either individually or in group..

The main goals to reach (by studying at the ISCHAP) will be:
ú To study how to adapt the analysis of fate to other professions.
ú Studies to become a Szondi-test-specialist.
ú For psychologists : Advanced studies in Fate analysis.
ú For psychotherapists : to become a psychotherapist using Fateanalysis. Advanced studies.
ú For graphologists : to become a graphologist using Fateanalysis.

Generally. It will be possibly to participate in actual working groups and postgraduate groups.

Ines Gramiger, Rebbergstr. 53, 8049. Zurich. Tel: +41/ 44 / 342 25 45 (342 43 53 )
Mrs Gramiger informed me that she will be glad to hear from many interested peoples from all over the world , and gladly to answer their questions ... She hopes to bring new blossoming in the life of analysis of fate .She had already a very beautiful first opening party at the 13. of October 07 with 15 students and very close persons.

As I had several times the pleasure to meet Mrs. Gramiger personally so I certainly can recommend her. She has the unusual gift of a very practical approach to and combined with a very solid theoretical knowledge of Fateanalysis. I do wish her the best of luck and hope many students will use this offered possibility to improve their knowledge of Fateanalysis.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES

The 26 October 07 I wrote the following to some of my friends. Since then nearly three weeks have past and have we lived already 6 weeks in Patong. Nearly four weeks of these went by with continues heavy rains but since the last two weeks the real summer weather has arrived, with continuous sunshine and temperatures of ca 31 degrees Celsius
At the end of this first information of the 26 th I will inform you more about our experiences here in Patong.

26.10.07

This is to inform you that at last we have got our own wireless Internet connection in the new rented apartment where we live at present. It took more time than expected and I hope you did not get impatient.

We are today ten days in Thailand after a wonderful flight. We got a nice surprise by Finnair in the form of 2 business class chairs and could therefore sleep the longest part of the flight.

After a week at a hotel we were lucky to be able to rent a big apartment in the center of Patong, about 15 minutes form the beach.

Today I bought a mobile wireless connection unit which cost around 220 Euro, and we pay each month around 870 bath for unlimited use.

For me it is wonderful to be back in Thailand again with all its advantages and disadvantages. The temperature is around 30 degrees C. but the humidity is extremely high which makes it hard to be active.

Gunnel my wife did a great job by in a few days getting the household equipment which we needed, She has an incredible energy and I admire her for her endurance.

We live not far from the Paradise complex, the center of the Gay world. There I knew the Swedish owner of a small hotel mostly frequented by Gaypeople. He just took over the Swedish firm Relax which has the same object as our Medical Travel Inc., to intermediate cheap medical in Thailand, so he unexpectedly became a serious competitor. However we are planning to cooperate by all means and expect that his will be to his and to our advantage.

Thanks to my new Internet connection I can continue with my interpretations of colour tests, which can be send to me made anywhere in the world. Moreover I got already some orders to work out color tests. In the mean time I have become more and more experienced in this field and got positive feedback about the quality of my (blind) interpretations. I hope to be able and to continue studying still more in this field.

My main interest is, (together with the assistance of Dr. Arthur Johnston) concentrated to find the connection between the Szondi factors and the 8 colours and therewith I follow the example of the late Prof. Borg and his assistents, especially as written in his book "Szondi in the year 2004"

Also I must prepare soon a new Szondi newsletter so if you have text or news that you want to publish on the Forum just send it to me. Then I will ask my friends Oksana and Slavick in Odessa to put it there.

I will send to some of you a more specific reply to your emails but finish herewith this personal News from me.

Best wishes to you all from Leo Berlips, editor www.szondiforum.org.

Jacques Schotte, cofondateur de l'école belge de psychanalyse

Grande figure de la tradition psychopathologique franco-allemande, cofondateur, en 1969, avec Antoine Vergote et Alphonse de Wahlens (1911-1981), de l'école belge de psychanalyse, Jacques Schotte était né, en 1928, à Gand, en Belgique. C'est dans cette ville qu'il s'est éteint le 18 septembre.  

Pendant plus de trente ans, ce polyglotte passionné et original, remarquable orateur, ami de Pierre Delion et de Jean Oury, délivra un enseignement très suivi à l'Université de Louvain, en Belgique.

Analysé par le psychiatre suisse Maeder Boss, héritier spirituel de Ludwig Binswanger et surtout de Leopold Szondi (1893-1986), Jacques Schotte eut avec Jacques Lacan une complicité d'autant plus étonnante qu'il l'admirait sans être le moins du monde un idolâtre.  

Il donna le nom d'anthropopsychiatrie à sa démarche théorique et clinique, fondée sur une approche plurielle de l'âme humaine. D'une grande érudition, il se référait autant à la conceptualité freudienne qu'à celle de la phénoménologie.

Mort de Jacques Schotte ou la pensée rebelle
Guy Duplat Mis en ligne le 20/09/2007

Psychiatre et psychanalyste, il était un des esprits les plus brillants des années 60 et 70.

Avec la mort, mardi à Gand, de Jacques Schotte, c'est une des pages les plus brillantes et les plus excitantes intellectuellement de ces dernières années qui se tourne. Jacques Schotte fut, dans les années 60 et 70, un extraordinaire stimulant de l'esprit, un agitateur d'idées, un enseignant hors pair à l'UCL qui passionnait ses auditoires en leur ouvrant, entre autres, les chemins de la psychanalyse, de Freud à Lacan et Szondi. Il pouvait tenir ses étudiants en haleine cinq heures d'affilée sans un moment de lassitude. Il brassait tant de concepts qu'il s'aidait d'incessants mouvements corporels comme pour les rassembler. Esprit anticonformiste, il était hiver comme été, en toutes circonstances, pieds nus dans des sandales.

Psychiatre, psychanalyste, docteur en psychologie, philosophe, il a fait partie de la "dream team" de l'UCL, avec Alphonse de Waelhens, Antoine Vergote, et des philosophes comme Ladrière et Taminiaux. Jacques Schotte avait des maîtres. En psychiatrie, Maldinet, Binswanger et Tosquelles qui l'introduisit à la psychothérapie institutionnelle. En philosophie, Merleau-Ponty et Levi-Strauss. En psychanalyse, il suivit à Paris les séminaires de Lacan et devint fondateur et membre du directoire de l'école freudienne créée par Lacan. Il côtoya aussi Lagache et Dolto. Il fut un grand admirateur de Léopold Szondi, psychanalyste hongrois, auteur d'un célèbre test projectif et fin analyste de la vie pulsionnelle. Il fonda "l'école belge de psychanalyse", dans le sillage de l'école freudienne. Toute une génération de psychanalystes est née de son enseignement, avec un esprit critique et audacieux qu'on ne retrouve plus toujours aujourd'hui dans les facultés de psychologie.

Flamand d'orgine, habitant Gand, Jacques Schotte avait une culture gigantesque. Sa belle maison était envahie par les livres au point qu'il fallait se frayer un chemin entre les empilements pour le retrouver.

Le psychanalyste Francis Martens, qui l'a très bien connu, l'avait encore rencontré il y a un an, pour la sortie de son livre de souvenirs ("Un parcours"). Jacques Schotte avait dédicacé son exemplaire en signant "Le dernier des Romains" (face à la barbarie montante). "Il y avait un monde fou pour l'entendre, se rappelle Francis Martens. Il avait le sentiment qu'on était retombé dans une période où on se contentait de manager les désordres comportementaux et où les psychanalystes se réduisaient à des groupes identitaires plus qu'intellectuels. La pensée n'est plus à la mode, remarquait-il, car la pensée est un acte de résistance. Il était un formidable transmetteur qui ouvrait les gens à leurs propres réflexions. Il les mettait en mouvement, il agitait des pensées, tout en étant ouvert aussi, comme psychiatre, aux progrès médicamenteux."

Szondi Newsletter 01 09 2007

Dear Friends,
Time is running fast and already we get close to the beginning of the Swedish autumn. As for myself I had an unpleasant time during spring and summer due to health problems but at present I feel much better. Especially, after that my wife Gunnel and I decided to leave Sweden during the winter and stay in beautiful Thailand again till the beginning of spring 2008. There we hope also, together with my other family members and my dear friend Prof. Takahisa Yamashita from Tokyo, to celebrate my 88th Years birthday, the end of December.

Notwithstanding the before mentioned problems I was still lucky enough to be able thoroughly to study Prof. Borg's book "Szondi in the year 2004" and found it very interesting reading. Especially as last year in November I started to refresh my knowledge again about of the Luscher test, a well known Colour test. www.luscher-color.com which was introduced by me in Sweden in the beginning of the sixties. Characteristic for this test is the very
