Tales
A movie-like inspiration, that has emerged as a reflective dialogue between my conscious self and the inner shaman. Allthough I did not have the theoretical understanding I have today, the story is completely consistent with the vision I would be adhering to some 10 years later.
It can be read as a more literary expression of 'Serving the Woman', and can be seen as a channeling, as a prophecy, as a challenge to the concept of linear time.

de behandeling
In this modest little book, I try to get to grips with who I have been and what has happened to me that made me break down into psychosis and consequent treatment.
​
It is a work of self-exploration, written in a style of free association, which makes it a little bit special, though perhaps a little confusing as well. Things are not presented chronologically, but early memories and experiences are discussed throughout the book, mixing with the story of how I became sick and what happened next.
​
A scientific inquiry is not left behind, mixing psychodynamics with neuropsychology.
​
Though it is a terrible thing that happened to me, I still try to remain in a positive state of mind, which may feel a little sarcastic.
