Founder of the Primary Unconscious Integrated System (P.U.I.S. and P.U.I.S./Art)

Founder of the Theater x Anxiety Treatment

Developed the P.U.I.S. and P.U.I.S./Art training and practice Program based on:

•   integrating spirituality and psychotherapy processes to provide balance in the mind, body and spirit.
•   practicing “Second Listening” in psychotherapy to go beyond the limits of psychology.
•   understanding the different qualities of depression through the prism of elemental influences and
    making assessments towards possible treatment.
•   utilizing a technique that employs music and subtle movements in original plays created specifically
    as another way to treat anxiety.
•   analyzing the meaning of artwork and other creative expressions - P.U.I.S./Art - to reveal how the
    natural elements of fire, earth, water and air, and their qualities, are being manifested.  This analysis
    gives the indication of the direction to take for possible treatment.
