Konstantin Trifonov
Konstantin
Trifonov MD MPsy DAc has been interested in alternative and
oriental medicine since he was a student at Sechenov’s
Moscow State Medical Academy. During his last two years of
school, he studied acupuncture and pulse diagnostics, which
allowed him to simultaneously receive both MD and DAc
degrees. After one year of general practitioner residency
in the Moscow Clinical Hospital #67, he started his own
acupuncture practice. During a visit to the United States
in 1996, he met Solihin Thom. Today, the main focus of
Konstantin's work is to bring an understanding of the work
of Ad Humanitas to the people of Russia. Konstantin lives
and works both in New York City and Moscow.
In 2003 Konstantin started his doctoral program [PhD]
relating to an ontological process in patients who were
unable to sense or feel, and who had chronic skin lesions –
"The use of a body-oriented dialogue approach in working
with alexithymic patients with chronic skin disease".
Although finished in ’98, he will be defending his thesis
in 2009. There are several physicians in Moscow who have
incorporated this work into their doctoral programs.
Konstantin has translated much of the work into Russian,
and also helped to translate during the CFD classes, three
of the five modules in OHP, and during the various Life
Forces workshops 2001-7 which both Solihin and Alicia Thom
have presented in Russia.
