Summary

The individual is now more then ever left alone to take care of himself or herself. One is forced to independently estimate, plan and make decisions concerning the preservation of one’s survival, as well as the development of one’s spiritual and creative potential. Therefore, one is inevitably faced with the fact that, unprotected by our surroundings, one should accept complete responsibility for one’s own destiny.

Current social divergences, like the deterioration of the concept of health protection and spiritual development in the world, direct the individual towards discovering and improving the model of “autonomous protection” and “authentic spiritual development”.

One of the latest concepts that enables the realization of these needs is a spectrum of specifically designed programs which I have called “Interactive Internet Self-Help Devices” (InInSHD). We are on a good path to discover and successfully manage the enormous positive powers that we possess inside us…

It’s time to set off along this new road and to enjoy the journey. Good luck!

In his essay ‘The Doors of Perception’, Aldous Huxley, probably driven by a powerful inner desire to fathom some of the great secrets of the human soul, gave an account of his experiences under the influence of the drug mescaline. At that time, it was a common belief that this drug stimulated psychic changes equal or very close to schizophrenia. These changes were, and still are, believed to generate positions for direct communication with the deepest strata of human psyche, with the domains of the unconscious. more...

In the nineteen thirties,7 Sigmund Freud, whose work has had the fate to be both vigorously approved and refuted, wrote the essay ‘Civilization and its Discontent’--a work written when he was in the full swing of his scientific career. In this work Freud is prophetic, his analyses results in a morbid vision as to the outcome of the struggle between the two instincts, the life instinct – Eros, and the instinct of destruction, which was later identified with Thanatos – the death instinct. He identifies the potential outcome, at which he arrived through his meticulous psychoanalytical interpretations, within relationships which reflect social communications, i.e. what we normally call ‘living together’. more...

Thinking about a topic that can connect the concept of such a magazine and the interest of its readers with the psychotherapeutic concept, which with its very name evokes associations about the similarity between the art scene and the Moreno’s therapeutic approach, the author of this text, to whom the therapeutic vocation is much closer than that of acting, has felt the need to launch into the adventure of trying to explain rationally the similarities and differences between these two processes that always carry in themselves a greater part of the irrational. more...

The practical magic of psychodrama achieves its most creative effects in one promising area, above all, an area which I have been referring to as the ‘healing art’ for a long time. In this past decade, the development of collective consciousness in the world has shown evidence of an increased use of this term and its gradual acceptance within various lexical concepts. Still, I have to alert the reader that this term is most commonly ‘misused’ or used incorrectly. Moreover, this term is often ruthlessly abused by global totalitarianism—as are all other inventions from the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries—into a trend of ‘abuse’: more often than not, the methods hiding under its wing have intentions which are actually in complete opposition to those that serve the wellbeing of humanity. more...

Psychodrama is an action method of group psychotherapy. It can strongly induce and develop various phenomena of what is called a ‘group process’ among the members of the group. Transference relationships are a part of it. On the psychodrama stage, the protagonist’s ‘introjected objects’ and ‘representations of the self’ tend towards externalization, concretization and transference onto the other participants in the scene: the assistants, doubles, and the director, as well as onto the psychodramatic auxiliaries, using them as ‘transitional objects’. more...

Besides the phenomenological aspects, this article explores some other aspects that concern certain changes in individual psychodynamic, ego-functions, self-cohesiveness, group process and perspectives. more...

Everyone who is occupied with the exploration of the destinies of the “broken structures”, created by war traumas, at the same time is engaged in research of the possible destiny of the modern globalization, in regard to looking at the outcome of the struggle between two drives, Eros and Thanatos. The film “LIKE A BAD DREAM” and it’s author Antonio Mitrikeski create an original artistic contribution to discovering and asking for answers to these serious questions. more...
