 In 1944, Szondi published "Schicksalsanalyse" ("Fate analysis"), the first of a five volume series.In 1960 Szondi began to collaborate with psychotherapeut Armin Beeli on 17 "forms of existence", dived in two main groups "forms of danger" (Gefährexistenzformen) and "forms of protection" (Schutzexistenzformen).On the basis of the syndromatics (diagnotisc method) published in book 3 (1952) and 4 (1956) of the Schicksalsanalyse, one or two (rarely three) forms of existence are detected from each test profile.
