Wim van der Roest

Officially of course, I'm a psychologist. I am so by study, experience, academic title and work position. Since the nineties of the former century, I have been accepted by the government as a GZ-psychologist (it received me in its so-called BIG register), which means that it has confidence in my attempts to help people in overcoming their psychological health problems. After some 35 years of experience in the field, I can say that I am not inclined to ridicule that confidence. However, by the feel of the whole charade, I think I have become more like an anthropologist. Let me try to explain that. To begin with: during the longest period of my life, in fact since my ninth year of age, my native language has been my fiancé. I never found the courage to ask her to marry me, but since my academic years, I have taken the liberty to critically delve into her natural origins and that has taken me through the whole gamut of her emotional impact on me. I have written about that experience in a booklet called: 'Critique of Natural Language', a booklet that can be browsed at (through random pages) and ordered from amazon.com in paperback or ebook format: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=willem+ernst+van+der+roest When I was 9 years old I happened to stumble upon a huge volume of a book, written by a German and imprisoned writer, by the name of Karl May. The book was called: "I, Winnetou." I'd never read a whole book before, but ... After that first shot, I was hooked forever ... But let me wait a minute here, people might get the idea that my summary should be a summary of my prof profile, and not boil down to an autobiog! And they are right. So here's what I'll do: I'll use a short cut on my road to said explication for all those people who had the distinct impression I was writing my autobio, and for the people who were still interested in the explanation, I will finish it in a separate place Shortcut: see 'projects'
