Hi
I wonder if there is any solid evaluation or legitimate review
of Ritberger's (popular it seems) ideas about personality
and colour?
Do you mean this person?
|Carol Ritberger, 51, Fair Oaks, CA

|Education/training. Ph.D. in religious philosophy from Life
|Church Ministries in Modesto, CA. Ritberger spent much
|of her adult life conducting team-building training classes
|for corporations. While eating a steak dinner in a restaurant,
|she suddenly went into convulsions and stopped breathing.
|Doctors believe she had an allergic reaction. When she was
|resuscitated, she saw light around people. "The medical
|diagnosis was that I was without oxygen to the brain long enough
|that it could have caused temporary visual impairment," Ritberger
|says. "The doctors say my eyes let in too much light." She says
|that's when she began seeing the human aura.

|Method "I call myself a bioenergetic diagnostician. I read the
|energy of the body. I can see the aura. I can also see inside the
|body-vital organs, tissue, muscle structure, skeletal structure. When
|an organ is not functioning properly, it throws up an exaggerated
|amount of red. If it's because of an emotional imbalance, it's
red-orange;
|if it has a psychological root cause, it's yellow-orange."

NOTE: If you find that a person does not publish in academic journals
but only in books, it's a good idea to do a search of newspapers to
find if there are any book reviews or news articles. Proquest has
a fairly good database of historical and current newspapers.
A Google search will help find blogs and websites -- anyone know
a better way to search blogs?
Ritberger does not show up on PscyInfo or Google Scholar or Jstor.
I did manage to find a single dissertation that cited her and here is
the
reference for it:
Ritberger, C. (1999). Interview with Carol Ritberger, Ph.D., Medical
Intuitive.
Retrieved February 14, 2004, from
http://www.spiritseeker.com/dec-jan99//ritberg2.htm
Unfortunately, the website ("Spiritseeker") no longer has this on its
website.
According to Amazon, here's what she published in the popular press:
http://www.amazon.com/Carol-Ritberger/e/B001JRVH0U/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1436188390&sr=1-2-ent
In summary, no, I don't think that there is a critical review of
Ritberger's
theory though some of the skeptics sources might have something.
