At last herewith we made the first step in the direction of building up a DATABANK by publishing:

1. Titles of Szondiana Publications and
2. Titles Diplom und Studienarbeiten.

 We thank Dr. Friedjung Juetnner, of the Szondi Institute, for his assistance sending us the Szondiana titles and Marianne Bossart of the I.A.W. (Institute fuer Angewandte Psychologie) fuer sending us the titler of the "Diplomarbeiten".

 We also thank Mme Ann Anne Gayray, secretary of the Montpellier Szondi group, who sent me an excellent article, written in French, about the Szondi test and its application possibilities with the title: ESSAI D’INNOVATION, LA DIFFUSION DU SZONDI

 As this article was written for a group of non-professionals it has all the qualities to be published under the title "Introduction to the Szondi Test". It is really one of the best short introductions I read about the Szondi test and ought to be translated as soon as possible in English for a larger public.

 Here in Sweden we are longing for spring and it makes me especially remember the beautiful Normandian song "Quand tout renait à l'espérance et que l'hiver fuit loin de nous". ( When everything is born again and the winter flees far away from us".

 It is with a certain melancholy that I remember this song, which I learned about seventy years ago. It says much about the international background of the Dutch people when you know that it was a part of teaching the basics of the French language, in a small protestant working class school in Amsterdam, where I was born.

 At the same time I write this my somewhat melancholy mood leads me to another French expression: "Si la jeunesse sache et la vieillesse puisse". (When youth would know and the old still would have the power).

 But then when I then think that I am working with expanding the Forum and look at my youngest son Jens, who helps me updating these new articles I feel happy again and wish you all

 "An early start of Spring everywhere in your Life"
