Latest Book by Franz Ruppert

The Pandemic of Inhumanity

This book is a collection of over thirty articles that Franz Ruppert wrote and published on his website and elsewhere between February and December 2020. It is supplemented by diary entries, notes,

thoughts and other material that Franz wrote during this time as he tried to get a handle on what was going on in the world in terms of the Corona Pandemic, using his unique Identity-oriented

Psychotrauma Therapy perspective. He then collated all this into a downloadable PDF of the German text and made it available for a donation via his website.

It has been a great privilege to prepare the text for an English readership. On a personal level it has provided me with an anchor of sanity during these disorientating and traumatising times.

In his original text Franz provides many footnotes and references

substantiating what he says. Where possible, unless he is quoting

directly in the main body of the text,

If you are new to this work...

You can join one of the Online Working Sessions days with an Attendance Place, and watch what happens. It is up to you how much you take part, and it is fine if you just watch the processes and see how the Intention Method works. If you have any questions you can contact me.

Khalil Gibran

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

On the Trauma of Identity and the Trauma of Love:

"As the mother’s psyche is split, so her heart is split also."

(From my forthcoming book, Trauma & Identity due out mid 2021)

Personal statement: I am a psychotrauma therapist (originally a Gestalt psychotherapist) with over 30 years experience. My passion is working with people where there is the possibility of real, healthy emotional contact, where truth is honoured, and reality takes precedence over illusions. For more about me click here.

"All the trauma in the world comes originally from children trying to adjust to environments that are sometimes crazily impossible for them to understand and manage."

Taken from my next book, due out mid 2021.

"Be in love with your life. Every minute of it." Jack Kerouac.

What is the purpose of Life?

To live a good life, and to come to know who I really am.

"There are so many people in the world who have a good amount of 'healthy I'; it's just that they also have unresolved trauma and slide so easily into their survival strategies and ruin it all for themselves." (Vivian)
