publications and
reports at International
Congresses (including Florence,
Paris, Kyoto, Stockholm, Jerusalem, Puerto Rico, Vienna)
-
Philosophy: In
1964 he came upon the theories of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, thanks to a conference given in Gent by the famous
Flemish
philosopher Max Wildiers (1904-1996). He tried to become
familiar with
these
fascinating theories, caring to check his understanding of
Teilhard's
often
difficult visions with Wildiers himself. He gave many
conferences on
this
topic, including a contribution in
2008 at the EVO-DEVO Congress on Evolution and Integration, the
EDU
2008
Congress at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris
-
Psychology:
he contributed to the development of the integrative
scientific
method as an alternative to the
exact
scientific method, more appropriate to
alpha sciences where measurement and experiment are most often
impossible. With
this method he tried to review most aspects of psychology,
psychiatry
and
psychotherapy. Most of his theoretical work (hundreds of
articles) are
published
on an integrative site (in Dutch): psy.cc. He
proposed the name psychoanagogy
as the
comprehensive name for psychotherapy and personality
development,
replacing the Pathology Model with the Developmental Model.
-
Further he published one book
on Neurology (1978), one on Integrative
Psychology (1985)
and three on the historical, symbolic and psychological aspects
of Freemasonry (1996, 1999, 2002)
-
Next to psychology,
spirituality
is one
of his major interests. His quest for movements and societies
providing
an
active spiritual experience conducted him along several
spiritual
paths,
including Teilhard's theories, Ignatian Spirituality, Masonry,
Stoicism, the
scientific and neoplatonic contributions of ancient Alexandria,
the
Medieval
Flemish Mystics, Buddhism, Transcendental Meditation, Tantrism.
He
tried to
integrate these rich contributions in one comprehensive
psychological
theory.

Belgian
Section
of Mensa International.

Foundation
of Bekina,
a society contributing to specialized training and

In 1990 he founded, together

W. Szafran, VUB, the Belgian Society for Integrative
Psychotherapy (BSIP). The BSIP
organized three annual congresses
(UCL,VUB, KUL) and
presented a paper at an early SEPI congress in London (1992).

Szafran

Association for
Psychotherapists (EAP), founded in

(Antwerp) and Didier Vanhee
(Koekelare) the VlaamseVereniging voor Integratieve
Psychologie (VVIP), a scientific
society for integrative thought,
psychology and
psychotherapy. Its primary task is supervising research and
education
in the
field of Integrative Psychotherapy,
especially by the Academy for Integrative Psychology
(AIP). In 2010, the VVIP was transformed into the Belgisch-Nederlandse
Vereniging voor Integratieve Psychologie en Psychotherapie
(BNVIP), due to the extension of its clinical and eductional
activities into the Netherlands.

for
Integrative
Psychology, organizing training

psychotherapists and councellors along an integrative model,
nowadays
one of
the oldest psychotherapy training institutes in Belgium and
perhaps one
of the
first in the world to use explicitly the integrative theoretical
model.
