 Gabriele Trommer To whom it may concern: I am a dipl.-psychologist and I have been working in the field of human psychology, especially in psychotherapy since several years. I am experienced in methods of Gestalttherapy, Transactionanalysis and other growth methods which I use with a variety of clients. I came in contact with the teachings of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh already years ago by his books. During the years for me it got evident that Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is one of the greatest teachers in the field of psychology and religious science. Without his contributions the human psychology would not be on this high standard. Also the modern psychotherapy would miss out on very important parts without the outstanding scientific insights of this man. Bhagwan’s work, especially in the fields of modern psychology, gives evidence of his exceptional abilities and his highly qualified competences in his occupation. Yours sincerely |
