ABOUT THE WORK OF
NORBERTO KEPPE AND CLAUDIA PACHECO
Keppe is undoubtedly the most original heterodox, contemporaneous writer in the world today.

There are many enormous challenges facing humanity at the beginning of the 21st Century. The world knows this list well
• war and terrorism
• environmental degradation
• hunger and overpopulation
• human rights abuses
• the widening gap between rich and poor
• … and a host of others
These are very serious issues, and there are many dedicated, concerned and committed people working around the world to remedy them.
The Origin of our Problems
It is not an oversimplification to remind ourselves that these massive and life-threatening problems have been created by human beings. What human beings do to the world we first do to ourselves. The destruction we do to nature we first do to our own inner selves. The violence that we do to others we first do to our own beings. There is no avoiding it – the problems on earth originate with us.
This dire state in our world exists because of the limited level of consciousness of human beings. We have built society in our image. If we are to truly solve our problems, we must penetrate deep into the human psyche to discover the overarching psychological reasons why humanity is destroying itself and its home.
Consideration of the inner psychological state of humankind as the main contributor to our problems has been noticeably absent from the global conversation. And yet, undeniably, our psychology rules us – a situation we must begin to address if we are to arrive at the root causes of our dangerous and precarious state on earth.
This is why the work of psychoanalyst, philosopher and social scientist Dr. Norberto Keppe and psychoanalyst and author Dr. Cláudia Pacheco is so important today.
The Work
Dr. Keppe is the founder of the International Society of Analytical Trilogy (ISAT – formerly known as the Society of Integral Psychoanalysis). He is a rare scientist. Through his over 40 books and over 50 years of clinical research and practice, he has re-introduced us to the metaphysics of the great Greek philosophers, thereby re-positioning the “Science of science” in its rightful place at the top of the scientific ladder. This has allowed him to accomplish an extraordinary union of science, philosophy and spirituality (hence Trilogy), thereby treating humankind and our systems as a single, unified philosophical-physical-emotional field.
The breadth and scope of Keppe’s science of Analytical Trilogy show humanity why we have been destroying ourselves and our planet, and provide the orientation that will allow us to construct workable systems in alignment with the larger essential energy of which we are a part.
Synthesis
Keppe has synthesized Freud’s psychoanalytical methodology, Melanie Klein’s observations on envy and gratitude, Viktor Frankl’s views on existentialism, classical German psychiatric findings on megalomania and arrogance, Socrates’ dialectics, and Thomas Aquinas’ discussion of the perfect inner structure of man with his own startling discoveries of psychological Inversion, Universal Envy, and Theomania.
Keppe has discovered that we must all become aware of the depth and extent of our pathology – a condition that exists in all human beings to one degree or another – if we are to heal our damaged selves and our planet.
Naturally, there is tremendous resistance to seeing that the sickness, chaos and destruction around us is emanating from ourselves. We would prefer to have the massive problems facing humankind be solely the result of someone else’s actions – some faceless corporation or dictator or corrupt profit motive.
But only by becoming conscious and dis-inverting ourselves so we can correct our own psychological and physical mistakes can we human beings really heal ourselves and the planet and return to our original state of beauty, truth and goodness.
Results
The impact of Analytical Trilogy methodology is immense. It reaches into all aspects of human function providing deep healing without medication and allowing individuals to function more creatively and productively. This decreases social costs and provides true preventative health care. Its application at the social level can bring about the re-structuring of legal, political and economic systems to create a more humane, just and civilized society.
Summary
In summary, Keppe has gone where no scientist has gone before: he has scientifically researched, documented and provided a solution for the root cause of humankind’s problems – that is, our distortion and rejection of the truth of ourselves.
Analytical Trilogy shows that all that has been achieved has been done in an inverted way – contrary to reality – which is precisely why things have not worked out, either in the religious, philosophical or especially political-economic domain.
Analytical Trilogy Applied
Keppe’s partner and colleague, Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco, has been instrumental in developing outreach programs to bring strategies and consciousness for the healing of individuals and the structures of society. She has written 8 books on various psychotherapeutic themes, as well as contributing to a number of Keppe’s books on sociopathology and the pathology of power. Her provocative expose about the multi-billion dollar drug trafficking industry, which she wrote after her experience in America, is a major contribution to the ongoing discourse into CIA drug trafficking.
Perhaps her most important book, Healing Through Consciousness, , is a landmark exploration of the role of our psyche in creating and healing disease. This concise and clear book sets a standard for the current fascination with psychosomatic medicine, and reaches in scope far beyond the alternative healing paradigm and most of the spiritual healing orientations of the New Age movement. In clear, simple language, Pacheco’s book looks scientifically at how the Analytical Trilogy focus on consciousness and the psychological state of human beings applies to the area of our physical, emotional and mental health.
Dr. Pacheco is the Founder and President of the Keppe & Pacheco Trilogical College, which offers undergraduate, post-graduate and extension programs in Analytical Trilogy. The college is highly innovative in the fields of psycho- and socio-pathology, education, the new physics and technology. Dr. Pacheco also coordinates the Department of Trilogical Psychosomatic Medicine, which she founded with Keppe in 1976. As well as her private practice, she trains new analysts and conducts weekly group information and counselling sessions at the SITA Clinic.
In São Paulo, she and Keppe and a team of 11 analysts maintain the largest private psychotherapy clinic in Latin America, organizing their fees on a sliding scale basis so access is available for all income ranges. She conducts lectures and writes articles for the numerous newsletters she has founded, including Newsletter Trilogy (Brazil, USA, England and Portugal), the magazine Integral Psychoanalysis (Brazil, USA and Portugal), and Savori C’est Pouvoir (Paris). She has also organized numerous International Conferences of Analytical Trilogy, plus several international symposiums.
She also co-hosts, with Dr. Keppe, their award-winning weekly television and radio programs,The Universal Man.
Sociopathology
Keppe and Pacheco have also written and spoken extensively about sociopathology – the manifestation of psychological problems in the greater societal structures at large.
This is another distinction of Analytical Trilogy: for the first time, a scientific methodology has been developed that can be used to diagnose individual pathology, and the societal pathology that grows out of this. No longer are psychology and sociology separate.
Dr. Pacheco instituted a practical step to address this sociopathology by founding and organizing Stop the Destruction of the World forums in a number of countries in Europe – forums that gathered thousands of people to help conscientize individuals of their own psychopathology and the pathology of society.
Trilogical Business and Residences
Some of the practical applications of Dr. Keppe and Pacheco’s work exist in 5 psycho-linguistic language schools, which teach by addressing the psychology of the learner, clearing the way for individuals to learn more quickly and completely.
The Millennium Language Schools also offer free daily lectures on Analytical Trilogy concepts, as well as regular free artistic and cultural events. Many students rate Millennium very highly because of the vast improvements they experience in all areas of their lives as a result of the psychotherapeutic focus of the school.
Another feature of Millennium is that all workers are owners of the company, whose aim is to orient their business in alignment with a workable and leading edge economic model that rewards work and participation, not amount of capital invested. Millennium keeps its fees substantially lower than other language schools to enable as many people as possible to benefit from the unique training. They also provide numerous scholarships to underprivileged students.
A Trilogical Residence in São Paulo, Brazil provides an atmosphere of true cooperation and human relationship, much different from the normal separated and economically demanding way of life. Its aim is to stimulate interest in culture and science, provide help for those who feel lonely or insecure or economically challenged, and encourage unselfishness, honesty and personal growth.
In short, the Trilogical Residence provides an environment that is extremely favourable and effective in working with the problems and difficulties all human beings have in their lives relative to themselves, others and society.
