Ferdinand Knobloch
Biography
Knobloch was Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. He was one of the pioneers of family therapy and the therapeutic community, and psycho-drama in Europe. He created the theory of Integrated Psychotherapy, and its original techniques, such as the technique of group schema, psycho-gymnastics or psycho-mime, have been applied in three facilities in Czechoslovakia and two in Canada.
He was the co-author (with Jirina Knobloch) of Integrated Psychotherapy, and authored over 250 publications, including eight books on psychotherapy, forensic psychiatry, the psychology of music and the philosophy of science.
Knobloch also served as the Chair of the Psychotherapeutic Section of the World Psychiatric Association between 1993 and 1996 and as the Chair of the Canadian Society for Integrated Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (a Member of the International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies). He was the Honorary Director of the Moreno Institute in Beacon, New York.
