A member of the FEDE Panel of Experts, Stéphane Solotareff has a PhD in theoretical physics and is also a therapist. He tells us about developments at the EHEPM, of which he is the founding director.
Can you tell us a little about the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Psychologie Mathématique?
Founded three years ago, my institution currently has some 60 students. Our students come from all over the world (Morocco, Russia and Canada, for example) and are studying for bachelor’s and master’s qualifications as psychological practitioners.
What is your latest news?
I’m currently finishing a book on values. It follows books on doubt, dreams and internal laws. I wish to show that, in these times of pandemic and environmental crisis, we need to demonstrate discernment. For example, in this book, and in a series of international conferences, I will be talking about the distinction between pleasure and satisfaction and arguing for the reinstatement of satisfaction at the expense of pleasure.
What are your upcoming plans?
I plan to get more involved at the FEDE by participating at FEDE academic conferences and General Assemblies and by leading DBA seminars as a guest teacher. Speaking of the FEDE DBA, it is now on offer to my students. They are delighted.
