Software :  

Is that at all possible, to talk to a computer about sexual feelings?  Almost 15 years of experience with people in the Rutgers- Stichting (Dutch National Institute for sex- and relationproblems) and at the University have taught me that a great deal of our feelings are determined by our ideas. This program will enable you to test your own ideas and, if you will, adjust or complement them. In this way academical and therapeutical know-how is made available to both lay persons and professionals. I hope you will have a good time playing with this computer- program. Louis Sommeling

Summary: Towards egalitarian relationships between men and women By rethinking sexual basic concepts we liberate sexology from mere biological and technical models. We are creating a promising therapeutic perspective for couples. Special attention will be given to male processes. Some vignettes of the computer program Sexpertise illustrate this article.

Summary: In these day's of women's Lib as a sexologist I am not primarily concerned with specific sexual abuse but rather with the general subtle hidden agression of our macho-culture and his reflections in ordinary people and their daily difficulties to build up an emotional adult and sexual real intimate relationship between modern men and selfconfident women (Sommeling, 1992).

MEN :  identity, male desire, change

 

Summary: In the first part of this article there will be a summary of the workshop which the authors presented at the International Basel conference of the Pesso Psychotherapy Association (a bodybased and interactionoriented real psychotherapy). We were commited to providing both theory and experiential exercises in the workshop. In the second part of this article, the  author will present a theoretical background for reviewing and analyzing mens problems (par.2.2), their causes (par. 2.3), and potential solutions  (par. 2.4). Also there will be an illustration of an individual case, using Pesso psychotherapy techniques, where characteristic male themes are explored. From these theoretical perspectives even a person oriented short term psychotherapy can be effective and appealing to contemporary men.

 

  • Male desire and the coming of War:

 

Michael Adams studied the war as the great adventure for the machomen. His book he give the subtitle 'Male desire and the Coming of Worldwar I. He believed in a causal relation between war and the male desire which became unharmonious by a  too far distance between men and women. The womens liberation has profound changed the world and when men accept and learn from that emancipation, their desires come in a more adult stage with much less agression and more real men mastership over themselves.. 

PESSOPSYCHOTHERAPY: PBSP

An innovative psychotherapy. Body and soul get their place.

"Shifting focus to the body (posture, movement, emotional expression) requiers a leap faith into unknow and often frightening territory. This shift in focus involves moving from conscious territor; moving from the ego to the soul.. Our histories are stored in the tissue of our bodies and our genetic histories are stored in our cells".       (Pesso, the founder of this psychotherapy school).

Rethinking basic ideas on sexuality  (downloading this article is free)

Summary: In these day's of women's Lib as a sexologist I am not primarily concerned with specific sexual abuse but rather with the general subtle hidden agression of our macho-culture and his reflections in ordinary people and their daily difficulties to build up an emotional adult and sexual real intimate relationship between modern..... men and selfconfident women (Sommeling, 1992).

The born master doesn't exist, he can be made! So don't let us fall in despair. This article will describe some didactic steps to reach the flow of the masterlevel.  Especially we will focus on 'Kairos time', a new concept of Al Pesso. Kairostime, the time of grace, is the most opportune and decisive time for interventions and introducing roleplayers. The feeling for kairostime is rooted in being at center, contacting one's true self. The use of this natural aspect of our character is a 'burn our antidote . At the same time it is the guarantee for quality, joy and the 'lightness of being'. The theoretical reflections (chap. I) will be followed by some specific exercises (chap. II).,

Shorttermpsychotherapy for young adults (17-25 year, students) demands a  specific knowledge óf this phase and a specific attitude.  Problems and latent neuroses in general can be treated easily in this important age and not treated problems will persist in the rest of their lifes. 25 years of experience as studentpsychologist on a University and research outcomes support the above mentioned statements.

1 november 2010. Message to the United Nations and important links

In the Name of God

Dear Friend,

Salaam. Forgive the intrusion. I am writing to seek your help and involvement. On October the 20th 2010 — a few days ago — the United Nations General Assembly unanimously established the World Interfaith Harmony Week. The resolution was first proposed by H.M. King Abdullah II of Jordan on September 23rd 2010, and I myself had the honour of introducing and explaining it at the UN. (Please see enclosed speech with resolution at end.) The operative text of the Resolution says, remarkably:

World Interfaith Harmony Week

The General Assembly,
1. Reaffirms that mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace;
2. Proclaims the first week of February of every year the World Interfaith Harmony Week between all religions, faiths and beliefs;
3. Encourages all States to support, on a voluntary basis, the spread of the message of interfaith harmony and goodwill in the world's Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Temples and other places of Worship during that week based on Love of God and Love of the Neighbor, or based on Love of the Good and Love of the Neighbor, each according to their own religious traditions or convictions;
4. Requests the Secretary-General to keep the General Assembly informed of the implementation of the present resolution.

We believe this idea has the potential to do a lot of good in the world by:

(1) 'Co-ordinating and uniting the efforts of all the interfaith groups doing positive work with one focused theme at one specific time annually, thereby increasing their collective momentum and eliminating redundancy.
(2) Harnessing and utilizing the collective might of the world's second-largest infrastructure (that of places of worship — the largest being that of education) specifically for peace and harmony in the world: inserting, as it were, the right 'software' into the world's religious 'hardware'.
(3) Permanently and regularly encouraging the silent majority of preachers to declare themselves for peace and harmony and providing a ready-made vehicle for them to do so. Moreover, if preachers and teachers commit themselves on the record once a year to peace and harmony, this means that when the next inter-religious crisis or provocation occurs, they cannot then relapse into parochial fear and mistrust, and will be more likely to resist the winds of popular demagoguery.'

However, your help is very much needed. Specifically, we need and gratefully ask you to:
(1) Write a personal email or letter of support for this initiative and post it at www.worldinterfaithharmonyweek.com at the appropriate place:
(2) Forwarding this email to all those on your email list who you think might be interested in it and them to their friends and so on as much as possible (please do not worry about this email address as it is set up for this purpose and I will not be using it for anything else).
(3) Posting any resources you think would be important to theme of the World Interfaith Harmony Week at www.worldinterfaithharmonyweek.com at the appropriate place.
(4) Organizing yourself an event or simple a sermon or a lecture or an event on the first week of next February on the theme of Interfaith Harmony.
(5) Recording you event at www.worldinterfaithharmonyweek.com at the appropriate place according to your own country.

Harmony and Peace need work, and the real beneficiary of love and charity towards our neighbour is always ourselves, but we fully appreciate if you cannot do any or all of this and thank-you anyway,

Salaam and best wishes,

Ghazi
