Long Live Abstinence!
| Karel NESPOR, M.
D., Ph.D. I was born not so long ago (1952). At the age of 16 I met an American Yoga teacher of Czech origin Madame Ossius who taught me among others some yoga laughters. My medical studies were completed in 1976. Afterwards I was briefly involved in internal medicine and for one and half years in research into effects of some yogic practices at Czech Academy of Sciences. In 1981 I became a specialist in psychiatry, in 1984 finished the specialisation in the treatment of addictions, and in 1987 completed my training in psychotherapy. Because of lack of enthusiasm for the communist party I was not allowed to finish my Ph.D. degree at Charles University Prague before political changes in 1989. Already during my medical studies I contacted by post Bihar School of Yoga and 1989 it became possible to visit its headquarters in India. I was the national counterpart for the WHO European Alcohol Action Plan for the Czech Republic. I was also the scientific secretary of the Czech Society for Addictions till 2006. I have written more than 30 books about the treatment of addictions, yoga, relaxation and psychotherapy, two published books of poems, and over one hundred medical papers. I work as Consultant Psychiatrist at the Department of Addictive Diseases, Psychiatric Hospital Prague. If you read all this, you must be my fan. You deserve to see my photos. |
