Presentation

Welcome to my website. Here I intend to present the different themes which have been keeping me busy for the last circa 40 years*. The site is made up of virtually four homepages. These do not contain the same material in four different languages​​, but primarily reflect my activities and the dominant themes in them in the respective countries. Although some issues are more interrelated than others, all are intertwined in my personal and professional experience, so, faced with the difficulty of grouping them, I did opt for naming them in alphabetical order.

I was born in Hungary in 1951, where I studied to become a historian. After an adventurous escape from Hungary in 1974 I was received as a political refugee in Sweden, which became the birthcountry of my adult self. It was there and in the US that I trained first in different forms of natural medicine, and later as a psychotherapist. During the late 1970s I was one of the initiators of the pro­feminist men’s groups in Sweden aimed at the self-critical deconstruction of the male role.

In 1984, I was diagnosed with malignant lymphoma. My journey towards being completely symptom-free today took much more than a decade. The journey was both figurative and literal. It made me choose between conventional oncological treatment and alternative medicine methods. It also meant that we (my then life partner, Bippan Norberg, me and our children) ended up in Spain in the early 1990s. What should have been a short stay in a warmer climate while it turned out whether I'll survive the worst crisis in the course of my disease made of us Swedish expats, as Bippan, who despite being Swede never tolerated the Swedish climate, finally saw her chance to stay in the sun. My step-by-step recovery from the cancer consequently coincided with the restart of my professional life in Spain, where I still contribute actively, both theoretically and practically at the society level, to achieve equality between women and men and to eradicate all forms of violence against women, children and between men.

The youngest of my children who were born in Sweden and spent her childhood in Spain, decided in 2000, then 14 years old, to move to Budapest and pursue her musical studies there. The joyful duty to care for her made Hungary once again become the main site for my life. Since then I'm commuting between three countries, combining my intensive professional activity as a psychotherapist, supervisor, trainer of professionals and activist between Hungary (where, among other things, I took the initiative to the Stop Male Violence Project ) and Spain with regular cultural sojourns in Sweden.
