Medicine and psychiatry
In 1968, he received his medical degree No. 12387 from
National University of Rosario.[1] Between 1968 and 1971 Feldman-González served as a pediatrician for the Mapuche natives of Patagonia (Argentina). He then specializing in pediatrics. In the US, Feldman Gonzalez is graduated as a Physician and Surgeon in March 1976, Licence No. 36506 in the State of Pennsylvania. He completed a residency in psychiatry in the
Warren State Hospital and later in child psychiatry at the
University of Miami, where he became an Ad-Honorem Professor in Child Psychiatry for Medical Graduates as Chief of Fellows in Child Psychiatry (1976–1979).[2] In 1980, he became a Graduate of the American Board in Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN).[3] From 1985 to 1992 he served as a child psychiatrist to a large population in California, mainly for the Coahuila natives and the Chenas of South California and Northern Baja California. Between 1993 and 1998 he served the Athabascan, Eskimo and Inuit natives in Alaska. He carried research about the effects of light and darkness in the human brain, above all in sleep, wakefulness, blood pressure, sex, and alertness.
Feldman-González obtained medical licenses in the states of Florida No. 27187/1976. California No. A32502/1978 Indiana No. 01041966/1993 and Alaska No. 3174/1993 and later in México No. 5691038/2014.
Holokinetic psychology
Attempting to simplify his teaching, Rubén Feldman-González said: “The brain is a twelve cylinder engine. We work with a single cylinder for fear of taking off. When two cylinders work at the same time, reality surpasses then fantasy and imagination. Let's get together to see this. Let us be permanent apprentices of life."[4]
His ideas are said to be rooted in the
post-quantic Physics promulgated by physicist
David Bohm, with the theory of holokinesis, which states that "reality is not fragmented, not divided[5]". It is also based in
Karl Pribram's theory of holographic memory, which states that memory is distributed throughout the brain and not in specific zones or engrams,[5] and in Bell's mathematical theorem.
In 1978, Feldman-González was invited by Bohm to the University of London, England, to talk on Unitary Perception. They became lifelong friends.
From 1978, Feldman-González travelled periodically around the world to give workshops, conferences, retreats and seminars on the new psychological paradigm he proposed,[6] emphasizing Unitary Perception, which he said was latent brain function with importance for the individual and society. These tours included India, Argentina,[7][8][9][10][11][12] Spain, Chile,[13][14] Colombia,[15] England, Mexico,[16][17][18] Ireland, Nicaragua,[19][20][21][22][23] Peru,[24] Venezuela,[25][26] China, and Russia.
Rubén Feldman-González has published many books, which have been partly translated to English, Portuguese, French, German, and Esperanto.
In 1987 he received the nomination as Professor in Psychology and Psychiatry at the International Academy of Sciences of the Republic of San Marino (
IAS-RSM), thanks to his advances in the field of scientific psychology. From 1999 to the present, he is the president of the International Academy of Sciences RSM-Mexico,[27] (the first branch of the IAS-RSM outside the European Union), as well as the founder and director of the Center of Psychiatry and Holokinetic Psychology (CPH), with branches in Mexico, Argentina and Spain. From its foundation in May 2012, he is also the president of the International Academy of Holokinetic Psychology (AIPH). He acts as Supervisor and Professor in the Internet Course in Holokinetic Psychology from 2007 to present.
He has shared dialogues, forums, and congresses with investigators and figures in the scientific field, among them the above mentioned Karl Pribram in Stanford University (whom he invited to the University of Baja California [UABC] where he was a professor), and David Bohm in England, who was a fellow of Albert Einstein and candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics; with Bhurrus Skinner in Miami, Florida; Margaret Mahler and Phyllis Greenacre in Philadelphia; with the educator
Jiddu Krishnamurti in California, and with a wide range of university professors and investigators around the world.[28] His encounters and friendship with the latter lasted from 1975 until Krishnamurti's death in 1986. He wrote the book “My Dialogues with Jiddu Krishnamurti” based on these meetings. This book has been cited as a source on Krishnamurti.[29][30][31]
Psycho-history
Feldman-González has written and published digitally a series of psycho-historic novels. In these novels, he tries to bring to light unknown aspects and historical events from different periods.[32][33]
Esperanto
Rubén Feldman-González is fluent in Esperanto, and he has emphasized its role as a promoter of understanding and peace. Previous to beginning his university studies in Medicine, he was active in teaching Esperanto. He founded the Esperanto Association in Santa Fe, Argentina, and the Argentine Esperanto Youth Organization (Argentejo), being the first president. In 1966, he founded what became the
