Filósofo y psicólogo, especializado en Filosofía de la Mente y Psicología Evolutiva. Soy un escritor independiente de temas científicos, y he tenido una extensa experiencia investigando las conductas animal y humana, así como en la investigación de la mente, habiendo presentado nuevos conceptos sobre la relación entre el ser y la mente consciente. Esta cuestión tan importante no ha sido suficientemente estudiada hasta el día de hoy.

Educación

Cuatro años de estudios especializados en Biología y Genética y en Psicología Evolutiva en la Universidad de La Plata, Argentina, y cinco años en la Universidad La Molina, en Lima, Perú. Amplios estudios en Filosofía y Psicología con el renombrado filósofo Dr. Francisco Miroquesada, Director del Instituto para la Investigación Filosófica de la Universidad de Lima.

Experiencia

Dedico mi tiempo a la investigación y el estudio. Empecé estudiando la interesante y poco investigada relación entre el pensamiento y las emociones, lo que me permitió explicar el origen de muchos problemas emocionales, incluyendo la depresión. This was the subject of my first two books: "Origin of Emotional Disturbances" (1987) and "Kicking Depression Naturally (1998), published in the USA by Two World Press. The method I describe for overcoming depression and phobias has produces very good results in the people who have applied it. These studies led me into research of the mind, with interesting and new topics such as the relationship between ourselves and our minds. I thus came to explore the fascinating and ample field of the reasoning  process, studying the factors that intervene in this process, and the conditions that enable us to make decisions and to modify our behaviour.

       I also present in this study the interesting topic of animal and human behaviour from the viewpoint of a new science, the Evolutionary Psychology, which focuses on man's relationship with his evolutionary past. Research in this field produces a different image of man and leads to answers for many pending questions. It helps us gather the missing pieces to complete our  knowledge of the roles plated by the brain and the mind in managing our behavior. These concepts have not been accurately defined to date. I am a co-founder (1980) of the Center for Behavioral Studies, which studies the role played by different factors in human behaviour.

Current research projects

At present I continue to study and research the mind and consciousness, presenting new scientific exploration of the nature of consciousness and new principles of the relationship between the conscious mind and ourselves. My research is mainly in the field of Philosophy of Mind, which clearly highlights the existence of a key element: the participation of the self, that is ourselves, as the factor that makes use mind for reasoning and reaching conclusions. I present the results of this research in my latest book. The self-mind process turns man into the first mammal with the ability to act with autonomy and under his own responsibility, a fascinating new subject to be researched in greater depth.
