behind Schellhammer Business School.
FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Dr. Edward Schellhammer
Born in Switzerland, Dr. Edward Schellhammer brings together a background in education, psychology and philosophy. Schellhammer Business School grew from a vision developed over twenty years and became a reality in 2009.
Education, research
and human understanding.
Dr. Schellhammer studied Education, Psychology, Philosophy, Information Technology and Statistics in Fribourg and Zurich.
As a lecturer at the University of Zurich, his subjects included Psychology, Methodology and Statistics of Social Sciences, Philosophical Anthropology, and innovation in social institutions. He also managed scientific projects and taught in professional education, nursing education and therapeutic pedagogy.
His biography includes nominations for the directorship of a research institute in social pedagogy and for an assistant professorship at the University of Zurich.
He participated in international academic workshops addressing the future of society, education in Latin America, peace and disarmament, ecumenical Christianity, economic development and future perspectives for Switzerland.
Understanding the individual.
Further studies in Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysis, humanistic psychology and behaviour training shaped his work in personal development.
He established an Academy for Individuation, working with more than 1,500 students and clients over ten years. His research also explored spirituality and holistic approaches to therapy.
These interests form part of the background to the school’s emphasis on self-awareness, independent thinking and the development of human potential.
A life of study
and writing.
Dr. Schellhammer’s books cover psychology, individuation, dream theory and interpretation, problem-solving, the individual and collective unconscious, relationships and the archetypes of the soul.
His writing also addresses the future of humanity, global education, philosophical and pedagogical anthropology, teaching methods, counselling and coaching.
He lived and studied in Paris and undertook extended study visits in southern France, London, Kiel, Detroit and Mexico. He has lived and worked in Marbella, Spain, since 1988.
In Spain, his work has included psychoanalytical counselling for more than one thousand international clients, life and business coaching, and the development of coaching and mediation concepts relating to geopolitical and socioeconomic issues.
