 Dr.med.Hermann Roesinger To whom it may concern I am a medical doctor and I am working in my profession since 4 years. Right now I am at the "Rheintal-Klinik" in Bad Krozingen. A few years ago a friend of mine told me for the first time about Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his work. Being a scientist by vocation and by training, first looked with suspicion at what seemed to me just another "guru" fad. However, after reading several of Bhagwan’s books and also listening to some of his taped lectures, I've come to regard him as one of the most outstanding personalities living on the earth right now! I've been greatly inspired by Rajneesh in my work, particularly by his insights, concerning the relationship between physician and patient. I also know of several esteemed colleagues who have successfully applied Bhagwan's techniques to their psychotherapeutic practice. Dr.med.Hermann Roesinger |
