The Academic Life Journey from Eduard Schellhammer

Throughout his career, Schellhammer dedicated himself to educational innovation, addressing societal issues, and improving the future of at-risk children through his research and teaching.

1970-1973: University Studies

Eduard Schellhammer began his university studies in 1970 at the University of Freiburg, pursuing a degree in Educational Science, Anthropology, Psychology, and Computer Science.
In 1973, he graduated with a dissertation titled “Educational Needs of the Elementary School Teacher,” which impressed the university director and led him to explore automation and IT programming in Kiel, where he mastered data analytics.

1971-1974: School Reform and Educational Research

Between 1971 and 1974, he worked on school reform, curriculum innovation, educational research, and teacher training in the Department of Social Education/Home Education.

1974: Ph.D. in Zurich

In 1974, after completing his studies in Kiel, he was invited to pursue his Ph.D. at the University of Zurich. His dissertation was titled “Performance Assessment and Selection in Primary School.”
That same year, he also became an officer after completing his military service.

1974-1979: Lecturer and Researcher at the University of Zurich

From 1974 to 1979, Schellhammer lectured at the University of Zurich, teaching home education, philosophy of science, and research methods.
His research focused on psychoanalytic home education, deviance, behavioral disorders, and child psychiatry.
He collaborated with Dr. Urs Isenegger and Professor Dr. Frei, publishing eight research papers and contributing to the Freiburg curriculum reform.

1976-1980: Teaching at the Swiss Cadre School and Zurich School of Special Education

During this period, he conducted research on the future of at-risk children, and in 1976 he added to my professional responsibilities by taking on the role of lecturer at the Swiss Cadre School for the Red Cross within the Department of Anthropology and School of Psychology. His role there involved teaching Swiss Red Cross workers subjects such as psychology, anthropology, and conflict resolution. He held both positions simultaneously until 1978. At this time The Zurich School of Special Education requested his services to teach the subjects of psychiatry, Psychopathology, and special education. He taught both here and in The University of Zurich until 1980. However, he never stopped studying he participated in international conferences across Europe advocating programs for adult education and attended a variety of psychological training courses to further his knowledge. These included:
• psychoanalysis
• Psychotherapy
• Self-awareness training
He dedicated six years to the transformation and modernization of the education system in six juvenile detention centres. These centres catered to young individuals aged 14 to 18, all of whom required therapeutic support. His role included diagnosing their behaviour and conducting research to address the needs of both boys and girls. Simultaneously, from 1978 to 1979, he also worked with adolescents facing mental, social, or family-related challenges.

1978-1979: Work with Adolescents

Between 1978 and 1979, he worked with adolescents facing mental and social challenges in juvenile detention centers, modernizing education and diagnosing behavioral issues.

From 1971 to 1988 – 1992

He dedicated his studies and work to natural medicine, Psychonaturology, Naturopathy, meditation, dream interpretation, psychical energy, and the unconscious mind. His qualifications in this period include:
– *Bioinformation: January 1992 (European Academy of Naturopathy)
– *Máster in Psychonaturology: April 1992 (Sociedad Española de Medicina Holística)
– *Diploma in Psychonaturology: May 1992 (F.E.D.I.N.E)

From 1992 to 2024

He expanded his contributions by founding the REATON CENTER in Centro Plaza, near Marbella, a consultancy and school focused on psychology and philosophy. The name “REATON” was inspired by a fusion of the names of two major Egyptian Sun Gods: Re/Ra, later known as Ra-Horakhty (the morning sun), and Aton, the evening sun, both linked to primal life-giving energy.

In 2009, he founded the Schellhammer Business School in Marbella, with subsequent expansions to Estepona and now the San Roque Club. Over these years, he continued writing and publishing numerous books and articles to awaken global awareness on various subjects, including politics, economics, education, philosophy, dream theory, archetypes of the soul, planetary destruction, religion, evolutionary human development, and psychology. His work has been aimed at both general audiences and professionals in the field.

Throughout his career, Schellhammer has remained committed to educational innovation, addressing societal challenges, and improving the future of at-risk children through his research and teaching.
