What is BEST?

BEST stands for
"Basic Emotional Structuring Test"
invented by the psychiantrist and physician
Dr. Hallym Calehr, M.D., Ph.D. of Berlin,
Germany in 1972.
Together with the term "Psychopuncture",
it is patented under the Patent Number:
Pat. M. 8804223.5
of the Federal German Patent Office,
Munich, Germany.
It is a projectile test and is a synthesis of
Traditional Chinese Medicine,
Traditional Indian Medicine (Ayurveda)
and
Western Medicine respectively Freudian Psychoanalysis.

It is primarily an emotional and secondarily a cognitive test of personality
of very high standard, accuracy and sensitivity.

It consists of ten human facial expressions (dexa-physiognogram)
represented by ten figures with scales
of ten basic human emotion (dexa-emotionogram)
and ten basic color of human auras (dexa-aurogram)
adapted to the Five Element Doctrine (U Sing)
and Yin-Yang (Maya-Maha Sakthi) dichotomy.

Best is a vehicle in diagnostics, therapeutics and
prevention of disease used in Psychopuncture
as the fundamentals of alternative or
traditional Medicine.
And what is Psychopuncture it self?

It is the "puncture of the psyche"
on three dimensional levels
Thus puncture here is related to soma (body level),
psyche (mind level) and atma (Sanskrit, soul level), hence it is a trivalent respectively tripartite concept.
The psychodynamics of "puncture" correlates also with trivalent doctrine,
viz. "stitch of the body", e.g. through classical
acupuncture as applied in Psychopuncture,
"stitch of the psyche" through psychocatharsis
("acting-out" phenomenon)
as conceptualized by the classical psychoanalysis and "stitch of the soul" through "pure or emotional"
catharsis"
("acting-in" phenomenon) as evoked by BEST
phenomenally.

Psychopuncture
has thus been defined by Calehr as "The Science of Being and the Art of Living"'
also called "The Science and Art of Anthropos" (Human Being) as a Universal Science and
Religion in its spiritual psychodynamics.
Through BEST it carries its Holy Mission of Universal Love And Peace by its
"gentle kiss" - symbolically as a touch of "nonviolence" respectively "ahimsa"
corresponding to doctrine of Mahatma Gandhi - in this world full of crises.

BEST teaches you not only to love yourself,
your dearest family, relatives and neighbors etc.,
but more so even to love your enemy.

It is therefore not only applicable in Psychiatry, Psychology and Medicine,
but also in human activity and field
and with every human communication, such as in :
  • Science,
  • Economics,
  • Politics,
  • Art,
  • Culture,
  • Sociology,
  • Marriage,
  • Counseling,
  • Family Therapy,
  • Management of Drug Addiction,
  • Alcoholism,
  • Scholastic Difficulties with Children and Youngsters,
  • Management of Cancer Patients (Psychooncology),
  • Management of Personnel Problems in Tackling Mobbing Conflicts, etc.

BEST is applicable to everybody
healthy or sick in whatever culture,
country, nation, language, religion
without any racial, ethnic, social, political,
philosophical, religious discrimination,
boundary and limit of age and sex.
It also operates with infants and even with babies.Because of its transcultural,
nondogmatic and humanistic value,
simplicity yet profundity it has been recognized
by the WHO as from 1991 to be more valuable
than the costly and complicated Rorschach Test.


It does not require any intelligence.
It only needs a sincere heart with yourself,
because it is a projection of your own personality as a mirror-image.

The whole universe is a projection of your cosmic
consciousness according to Ayurvedic Medicine.

Your choice of BEST-puppets (figures) is a projection of your own being.

Due to its time-saving procedure without time-limit in the sense of its speed-character,
it is very economical and sympathetic test.

It takes only approximately five minutes for the testing
and twenty minutes for the interpretation,
so that there will be ample time left for counseling and recounseling.
