After completing my MD degree in 1966 at the University of Belgrade (Yugoslavia), I started my psychodynamic training at the Max Planck Institute (Munich, Germany) but soon abandoned it because I married my wife Marta and returned to Yugoslavia. After returning home I specialized in Neuropsychiatry (in 1974), earned a MS degree in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, (in 1976) and a Ph.D. in Existential Psychotherapy (in 1979) all that at the University of Belgrade (Yugoslavia). Finally, between 1985 and 1991 completed a graduate degree in R.C. Theology at University of Zagreb (Yugoslavia). I worked as a psychiatrist at the hospital of my hometown (Subotica) thought psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad (Serbia), and thought theology at Theological Faculty in Djakovo (Croatia).With my family I immigrated to Canada in 1991, where I become licensed as psychologist in 1993. First I taught psychopathology at the Trinity Western University (Langley, BC) and later opened a practice in Vancouver BC, where I have been working the last 28 years. I wrote 5 books, Pastoral Psychopathology (in Croatian) Through Psychology to God (in German), The Mystery of Christian Faith, Flawed Institution-Flawless Church, and Sin and Mental Ailments (in English). I have to confess one more thing: I was a student of Viktor Frankl in Vienna, so I usually start psychotherapy with a psychodynamic perspective, and end with discerning future goals, purpose and values for the clients.
