Über mich

Der Mensch und die menschliche Psyche stehen im Fokus meines Interesses: wie der Mensch innerhalb eines Systems die Welt wahrnimmt, wie der Mensch fühlt, denkt und handelt und wie somit die eigene Befindlichkeit beeinflusst und ein vorhandener Leidensdruck verändert werden kann. Dies sowohl im Rahmen von Grundlagenforschung, von Veränderungen von  Systemen und mit der psychotherapeutischen Arbeit.
