The theme of the biennal 2010-2011: the concept of health, disease and therapy of Kurt Goldstein, the father of the holistic approach (1878-1965). In collaboration with various colleagues, I will present in Europe and United States the neurological holistic approach of Goldstein in the context of my essay "The Organism is a Storyteller: Five Organismic Epochs" (see above).
