Traveling the Vast Land

Traveling the Vast Land

Since 2014, award-winning journalist Dagmar Weidinger has been interviewing leading figures in international psychotherapy and related fields. For example,


her conversations with Verena Kast explore the concept of the collective shadow and the fear of the unknown, while her discussions with theologian Eugen Dreuermann and cultural studies scholar Walter Och delve into existential themes.

These conversations are not confined to a single discipline, encompassing issues of psychotherapy and extending into spirituality, philosophy, sociology, and cultural studies, as well as the interviewees’ own biographies. For instance, why was Swiss hypnotherapist Silvia Zanotta a singer in a punk band as a teenager? Or what kind of career would Bettina Zehtner have envisioned for her mother?

There is more than one way to trace the complex workings of the psyche and alleviate suffering. Nineteen conversations with people from diverse social professions offer fascinating insights.
