Hello fellow human being!
Behind "Tellervo" hides Marianne Uhrendorf, a computer-loving person who has caught the germ of wikienthusiasm.(Tellervo is the name of a pagan Finnish goddess.) I am living in a suburb of Helsinki, Finland, by the name of Espoo. My living I earn by trying to find solutions to other peoples problems through the much debated method of analytical psychotherapy.
In the beginning, at the age of 18, I started my studies at the University of Helsinki studying general history and philosophy, quickly noticing that ancient Rome had a special attraction for me. For some time I studied also Latin, translating the Odes of Horace etc.
After having passed the B.A. examination, I understood, I had to study something that would give me a living and not everything I was interested in. Horace, Cicero and Augustus, however interesting, would not do that. (I also abhorred the thought of becoming a teacher of history.) So I changed to psychology as my major, and graduated from the university with a M.A. degree in applied psychology, general history, theoretical philosophy and sociology. I also did 3 years of postgraduate studies in the theory and practice of psychotherapy.
In Wikipedia I hope to write about and work on my other interests besides psychology. No articles on psychotherapy. The practice of that controversial and at times dubious science I limit definitely to my professional hours!! So ancient Rome, ancient Greece, history of China, Japan and Russia. Indian philosophies like Vedanta and Samkhya, western philosophies also. Maybe something on Finland.....
P.S. A subjective note: Not to speak about how much I learn this way! And how happy I feel about taking part in this project! (28.3.07 That was in "my innocent youth as a Wikipedian", before I realized how vandal-infested Wikipedia is.)
