Lüscher Colour Diagnostics
The Swiss psychologist Prof. Dr. Max Lüscher published his clinical colour diagnostics in a work entitled “The Law of Harmony within Us” at the first International Congress of Psychology in Lausanne in 1947. It was translated into 29 languages during the last 55 years and has been a subject of many research projects as well as medical and sociological dissertations at universities in the USA, Latin America, Russia, Western and Eastern Europe, Japan and Australia. Lüscher colour diagnostics is the most widely used method of psychosomatic personality testing in the world today.
What colours measure
Colours are oscillations that are perceived spontaneously as physiological stimuli and presumably registered in the limbic system of the interbrain. These processes occur unconsciously. The physiological-vegetative sensual perception of colour is consequently an objective one. This is why it is universal, i.e. has general validity and is not caused by or dependent on cultural or subjective experiences. Colour diagnostics is based on the objectivity of sensual perceptions. The reason why we like one colour better than another is not conscious. In terms of objectivity and speed, colour diagnostics is consequently comparable to an ECG.
Objective sensation and subjective choice
It is important to distinguish between psychologically objective sensual perception and subjective psychic attitude. The subjective attitude can be sympathy (+), indifference (=) or antipathy (-) and is called an emotion. In contrast to all consciously controlled reflections, the reasons why a person likes or dislikes a colour remain unconscious. Studies (employing blood-chemistry, cardiovascular, endocrinological, dermatological and neurophysiological EEG analyses) at American and European universities have demonstrated with statistical significance that Lüscher colour diagnostics provides the so far only accurate tool for psychological as well as psycho-vegetative measurement and personality assessment.
Colour choice can already indicate a disposition for many diseases (e.g. ulcers, skin diseases, alcoholism, obesity, drug addiction, suicide risk, high blood pressure, stroke and even subsequent delinquency) months in advance. Lüscher colour diagnostics and therapy is based on auto-regulation psychology, by which we mean the dependence of one emotion on a specific other emotion (for example: frustration, fear and depression generate excessive expectations and illusions, which in turn generate frustration, fear and depression).
