Research journalist, consultant and lecturer Harold Finkleman has conducted workshops on Psychodynamics (a science studying human response) at universities from Italy to Indonesia
and at scientific conferences globally. Among other applications, emerging breakthroughs in Psychodynamics are often used in specialty fields such as Design Psychology and Communication Psychology. The multi-discipline science offers advanced support in architecture, advertising, software design, social strategies, human resources, legal litigations, design of healthy environments and more. The field helps understand or anticipate the psychological and physiological impacts of sensoral, cognitive, subcognitive, energetic, intuitive and other neurological and psychophysical encounters or pursuits -- what we see, hear, smell, sense, feel, think, etc.
By invitation Finkleman has presented his original work and research in psychodynamics as 4-hour Professional Continuing Education Workshops for International Council of Psychologists annual conferences in Boston, USA, Padua, Italy, Winchester, England, Toronto, Canada, and Kos, Greece; for the Symposium on Psychological Practices in Jakarta, Indonesia; and the Advances in Criminology Workshop Series in Baguio, Philippines.
Harold has enjoyed time as guest lecturer multiple times each at the University of Calgary in Canada; Tarumanagara University in Jakarta, Indonesia; the Graduate College of Criminology in Manila, Philippines, and in Malaysia at the University Putra Malaysia (UPM), among other schools.
Outside the stricter scientific and academic realms, by invitation he has presented his work as four-hour seminars and half-day tutorials for the Washington Interactive Technologies Conference in Arlington, VA, for the Society for Applied Learning Technologies Conference in Orlando, FL, and for the Humanities and Technology Association Conference in Salt Lake City, UT.
Harold, who spent a decade on the
Board of Governors for the International
Council of Integrative Medicine, currently provides services as a lecturer,
consultant, freelance creative director, designer and both a communication and media strategist. He founded and chairs the Canadian
Institute for Transpersonal and Integrative Sciences (CITIS),
which houses an academically significant English language medical,
technological and sociological research library with
hundreds of antiquarian texts dating back over four hundred years. He
has been a daily newspaper editor, an international economics correspondent,
prime-time television producer, and author of five texts on subjects
ranging from the psychological impact of computer use to international energy economics.
He received USA, China and Hong Kong patents on heat-driven
cooling technologies in 2020, 2021 and 2022. The design effort was motivated by the need to originate cooling
systems for victims left without electricity in the deadliest environmental
disaster of the century -- in tropical south Asia in 2004/05 -- part of
a CITIS Mass Trauma Recovery global outreach program, conducted
at the request of universities in Indonesia; training survivors in a unique
personal and community healing practice based on a program developed by Dr.
Beth Hedva. The counselling program was employed with results published and
presented at the UN in New York for use in future extreme events. In such
severe disasters, much needed power for many people can be a year or more
away, so CITIS, after surveying other international organizations but finding
no solutions, undertook the extended challange of originating unique technology
for non-PV heat-driven cooling based on centuries-old science. Work continues
as the number of major environmental disasters increase.
