Description

Yami is a short story that plays in 1970s Thailand. Yami, a little village boy from Buriram, went with his family to Bangkok after the death of his father, where his mother gave birth to his sister Tania. In the hospital for giving birth to her third child, Tania, his mother, made the acquaintance of Dr. Kenny Tsanaga who later leaves his family to devote his life entirely to care for chronically sick native children.Dissatisfied with the mechanical routines in his job as a hospital pediatrician in Bangkok, he moves to Chiang Mai with his daughter Kani and after having adopted Yami informally as the boy expressed his wish to live with him and Kani instead of staying with his mother and her new partner. Here Kenny becomes the right hand of the director of a pediatric clinic, Dr. Patum Cheng, who devoted his life to curing the children of Mong and other mountain tribes in North Thailand from child asthma.The story illustrates in all detail some of the holistic medical techniques used to heal the children, which Dr. Cheng adapted from actual native healing techniques he had found practiced with the Mong in North Thailand and the cross-border Mong tribes in Vietnam and Laos.

Author Biography:

Parallel to an international law career in Germany, Switzerland and the United States, Dr. Peter Fritz Walter (Pierre) focused upon fine art, cookery, astrology, musical performance, social sciences and humanities. He started writing essays as an adolescent and received a high school award for creative writing and editorial work for the school magazine. After finalizing his law diplomas, he graduated with an LL.M. in European Integration at Saarland University, Germany, and with a Doctor of Law title from University of Geneva, Switzerland, in 1987. He then took courses in psychology at the University of Geneva and interviewed a number of psychotherapists in Lausanne and Geneva, Switzerland. His interest was intensified through a hypnotherapy with an Ericksonian American hypnotherapist in Lausanne. This led him to the recovery and healing of his inner child. In 1986, he met the late French psychotherapist and child psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto (1908-1988) in Paris and interviewed her. A long correspondence followed up to their encounter which was considered by the curators of the Dolto Trust interesting enough to be published in a book alongside all of Dolto's other letter exchanges by Gallimard Publishers in Paris, in 2005. After a second career as a corporate trainer and personal coach, Pierre retired as a full-time writer, philosopher and consultant. His nonfiction books emphasize a systemic, holistic, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspective, while his fiction works and short stories focus upon education, philosophy, perennial wisdom, and the poetic formulation of an integrative worldview. Pierre is a German-French bilingual native speaker and writes English as his 4th language after German, Latin and French. He also reads source literature for his research works in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch. In addition, Pierre has notions of Thai, Khmer, Chinese and Japanese. All of Pierre's books are hand-crafted and self-published, designed by the author. Pierre publishes via his Delaware company, Sirius-C Media Galaxy LLC, and under the imprints of IPUBLICA and SCM (Sirius-C Media).
