Professor Antonio Meneghetti is the founder of Ontopsychology and author of over thirty books translated into English, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Chinese.
His thought and discovering that allows an integral rationality within the elementary psychology are currently officially taught at the Ontopsychology Chair, Psychology Faculty in Saint Petersburg State University.
His academic titles include:
Doctorate of Theology, Università Lateranense, Rome; Doctorate of Philosophy and Doctorate of Social Sciences, International University St. Thomas Aquinae, Rome; Degree in Philosophy, Università del Sacro Cuore, Milan; honorary degree in Physics for the discovery of the Semantic Field.
On 27 April 1998 the Supreme Court of Inter-ministerial Evaluation of the Russian Federation awarded Prof. Meneghetti with the title of Grand Doctor of Sciences (protocol 0104).
In the same year, he was also awarded two honorary titles: Grand Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy in the Medical Sciences by the International Informatization Academy.
On several occasions, he was awarded the Premio Cultura (cultural prize) by the Presidency of the Cabinet Council of the Italian Republic (1980, 1987, 1989).
He is the President of the International Ontopsychology Association (NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations) and Academician and Vice-President of the International Informatization Academy (NGO in General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations).
He dedicated nearly ten years of intense clinical practice (ten to twelve sessions each day) to cure the most diversified pathologies, without any pharmaceutical support. Within three months, corresponding to the first ten sessions, symptoms were systematically disappearing. This experience in the analysis, intervention and solution of hundreds of cases across opposite social standards and different cultures (Arabs, Chinese, Europeans, Jews, etc) constituted a silent research in the pathological expressions of man's psyche.
This clinical practice built the methodological foundations of Ontopsychological science, which also constitutes a form of philosophy. In several occasions Antonio Meneghetti affirmed that he never thought to invent a new science. It was the acknowledgment to have found the solution to several men’s problems that led him to the conception of it.
In the 1980s, Meneghetti formalized his basic idea to distinguish between “ontic” and memetic information. He identified and described the effect of the monitor of deflection and distinguished it from the characteristics of the unity of action that distinguishes the man acting in conformity to his project of nature: the ontic In Sé.
Since the early 1990s, he has been developing the sociological implications of his thought, stressing the important relation between the individual and society and giving priority (according with his initial ambition) the psychology of self-fulfillment and creativity: man as a leader in the microcosm and in the macrocosm.
He prioritises all fields of application where man can evolve: business, art, politics, high finance, fashion, music and the processes of the psychical activity.
He is the founder and main proponent of the artistic movement of OntoArte. Artist, pianist and concert performer, he is a member of the Academic Senate of the International Academy of Modern Art.
He shields the humanistic ethics sustaining the Ontopsychological vision, especially when it is operated by healthy individuals who express their leadership by serving the progressive needs of man and society.
Today he is a worldwide recognized expert in leadership. His ideas and teaching stimulate advanced applications in the world of science, art, entrepreneurship, politics and eco-biology.
Above all, he has clarified “the intuitive logic” that brings the simple exactness in corporate management.
