As profoundly complex as the problem it aims to solve. This is where the kernel of the conversation lies. This is where all the questions about the validity, the scientific basis, the ethical frameworks, the moral underpinnings, and the practical impact-thus, the healing ability-of psychotherapy originate. In "The Missing Manual. The manual of lesser known and unknown psychotherapeutic interventions," the renowned psychoanalysis Dieter Adler answers many of these questions, venturing-as the book title implies-into territories which are uncharted, at least to the broader public.

More specifically, the discussion is structured around basic questions which are answered in a didactic and pedagogical manner, in order to guide clinicians, educators, and practitioners to the practical application of art therapy modalities in the aforementioned populations.

More specifically, children have been introduced to three books: I Am Jazz, by Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings; Jacob’s New Dress, by Ian Hoffman and Sarah Hoffman; and Born Ready. The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope, by Jodie Patterson. As part of this, children have been asked to join discussion in class to talk about the contents of each book and other related literature. Of note, several meetings with the administration and the school board have followed, but no changes have been made to the administration and content of the literature presented to children, with the exception of parents’ voluntary exclusion, per direct request, of their children from class time in which the books above and related new literature will be discussed in the future. Furthermore, these topics have also been discussed as part of a recent Lecture the author presented at the Academy of Sciences of Rome with the title “Science or Ideology?” in November 2022.

While these challenges can represent multiple issues to the scientific community at-large, especially because of the translational issues attached to the application of research and practice to the sphere of community services, it is useful to understand that the triad ethics, evidence, and experience can be instrumental in navigating the complexity of the issue-at-hand.
Furthermore, the work of researchers and practitioners is rooted in a solid understanding of the specific needs of psychiatric patients, particularly from the perspective of possible misunderstandings, ostracization, and stigmatization of psychiatric issues and related presentation, affect, and behaviours.
Years of research have indicated how a proper interaction between resources at the level of scientific research and the community is a fundamental cornerstone for a practice rooted in both science and true care for individuals affected by mental health disorders. In this presentation we will discuss the case of the Centro Salute Mentale (Mental Health Centre, CSM) of Verona.

Critical Neuroscience and Philosophy.A scientific re-examination of the mind-body problem, 2020

However, whether we chose a weak or strong approximation, the set would not make any sense at all, if (once more) this choice would not be justified in either temporal or spatial sense or given the context of possible applicability of the set in different circumstances. This would obviously represent a dualism in itself as we would (for instance) posit and apply a full identity-equality-equivalence of x and y when applying Newtonian physics to certain observations we make (it would be the case of neural correlates), and we would posit and apply a non - identity-equality-equivalence of x and y when applying Quantum mechanics to other observations. Following this dualism in and of theories, the same sate would need to be slightly modified: U2:(x~y)∪(x≈y); U3:(x~y)∩(x≈y); U4a:(x~y)⊆(x≈y) vs. U4b:(x~y)⊇(x≈y)

The question of the possibility of a universal or at least universally-valid (accepted) notion of the mind–body problem is summarized. Through the analysis of the previously discussed subfields, in connection with Neurolinguistics, Neuroheuristics, Artificial Intelligence and the core field of Critical Neuroscience, the author proposes here the Triple-S Model: Self, Soul, Spirit as a solving re-examination of the problem. In this process, the reconsideration and restructurization of core assumptions, frameworks and moral-ethical decision-making processes are implemented to verify the accuracy of claims in contemporary neuroscience and propose a more detailed, precise and scientifically reliable understanding of our true self.

A solid understanding of the neuroscientific underpinning of such processes, in combination of a well-grounded anthropology of the human person, help shed light on the role, the phenomenology and the outcomes of such decisions in developmental considerations and everyday life behavior.

This examination attempts to investigate the connection between neural pathophysiology and proprioceptive ontology of olfactory and visual cortical circuitry on the basis of the current scientific evidence indicated by the results of studies in which subjects underwent a series of therapeutic modalities focused on the improvement of overall wellbeing with the utilization of devices and technologies to stimulate multiple motor vs. somatosensory processes. More specifically, the studies at the centers of this analysis incorporated physical movement and virtual reality interactions, with the supplement of olfactory stimulation. In this examination, such research is also investigated from a theoretical standpoint, with the ultimate goal to better determine which interventions are justified under the premise of a mutual support between empirical values (through laboratory examination) and logical deduction (via philosophical investigation). ---

Research in the NSM approach deals extensively with language and culture. The declared NSM primes have stabilized as a list of irreducible meanings, typically coded as English words with specific senses, but expressible also in any other language. Indeed, the primes are hypothesized to be language universals, with most of them having been tested across a wide variety of languages without encountering disconfirmation. Each prime has its own universal combinatorial properties, which guarantee that any allowable sequence of semantic primes can be translated into any other language.

While common examples of gastrointestinal conditions include colon polyps, colon cancer, hemorrhoids, diverticular disease, strictures, stenosis, and inflammatory bowel disease, it is very important to grasp the complexity of such presentations in everyday clinical practice. More specifically, a usual distinction is made between proper gastric disease, and oesophageal disease, oral disease, the three areas of intestinal disease namely, large and small intestine, and rectum-anus), as well as the so-called accessory digestive gland disease, focusing on hepatic, gallbladder and biliary tract, and pancreatic disease.

What I mean is, once more, the conceptual difference between quantity and quality. We already discussed in the first draft of the report (presented about a month ago, the GT member and I were present), the importance of ‘semantics’ in approaching this analysis. The Medical Director pointed out that the report should include a more appropriate wording process in terms of ‘validating’ the effectiveness and importance of activities, therapies, and in general the work of all of us on the unit. I certainly agree with her on this part, and I think she was particularly sensitive and respectful of our work on the unit. What I cannot agree with, is the concept that “numbers don’t lie”, as she pointed out in the final presentation at the Auditorium. Certainly, numbers do not lie; but they don’t tell the truth, either.

It all began thanks to a rather small group made up of a few people who, timidly but with great courage, gave life to this beautiful adventure; in the space of a few months the number of participants in the editorial team and the enthusiasm increased considerably and all of them brought very valuable ideas and contributions. Anyone with the desire to join us can
send what he wants: advice, ideas, poems, short stories and why not, even criticism. An immense thanks to everyone!
The purpose of the magazine is to tell, as mentioned in the name, all the initiatives that take place inside or outside our Day Center: events, emotions, experiences, moments of solidarity and collaboration, sometimes even particularly happy ones, that we all experience every day. daily. In this issue we recount the experiences made during the summer period, the activities carried out and the new initiatives
you have experienced. There will be room for poems and emotions, for games, stories and memories. In particular, this issue offers an unprecedented and interesting interview with the Director of the 3rd Territorial Psychiatric Service, Prof. Tansella.
There will then be a space dedicated to music, cinema and sport!
Again a big thank you to all those who worked on the editorial board of the magazine, many congratulations to everyone and the hope that this magazine
represent an opportunity for satisfaction and collective growth!

The analysis of mental health issues linked to the increasing cultural and ethnic diversification... more The analysis of mental health issues linked to the increasing cultural and ethnic diversification in the modern society takes a number of methodological approaches. How do we define psychosis in a constantly changing cognitive model? If we want to draw on the insights of etymology and scientific use of the term, we need to link an abnormal condition or derangement (-ωσις) to a concept that goes beyond the realms of empirical analysis and reaches the domain of metaphysical speculation, i.e. ψυχή. To link these two terms to a definition of "loss of contact with reality" it is necessary to focus on the biological, historical and philosophical premises of the modern multiethnic society. The cultural relativism maintained by cultural anthropology, allowed the debate with medicine and psychiatry to revolve around fundamental questions (...) Supervisors: Ian Gold; Laurence J Kirmayer

Dieter Adler: What we Truly Need – Experiences of a Psychoanalyst.

In any serious, scientific, and ethically justified healthcare profession, the focus should be always on the overall health, treatment, improvement, and amelioration of the patient. What clinical and professional background should therefore a mental health professional have?
In his book, Adler does not want to simply offer a quick guide to self-help. In fact, he is clear about the fact that this is not the purpose of the book: “Maybe I’ll write one sometime: How you can reliably become independent of self-help books.” In fact, this book is a reflection on a 30-year-long professional career in which the author has learned to ask questions, to listen attentively, and to help shed light on some of the most complex and hidden aspects of what makes us human. To be sure, this does not mean that this book does not present a practical approach to well-being, quite the contrary. The author lists a series of areas the patient can focus on, in order to achieve a higher state of balance, healing, and happiness. Amongst these we find socialization, upbringing, and community, making friends, understanding and working on one’s emotions and the emotions of others, staying physically and mentally active, finding a sense of security and confidence, maintaining a sense of curiosity, finding a work-life balance and rediscovering peace and calmness, having goals, purposes, and meaning in life, and of course, understanding those negative, self-sabotaging mechanisms and processes which hinder such developments.

In particular, the study analyzed the importance of factors such as environment, personal belief and perspective on life, as a way to relate the patient's viewpoint within the specific structure of therapeutic groups led by the University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC, former Fletcher Allen Health Care) Inpatient Psychiatry Activities Therapists on the units Shepardson 3 and 6. Methods: The research is comprised of two parts: Part 1 has been represented by the Focus Group Questionnaire (FGQ), as previously approved by UVMMC Quality Council Meeting, and administered verbally (through printed handouts) on both units by UVMMC Activities therapists. Part 2, the Health Perception Survey, has been presented as printed attachment to the FGQ and followed the same structure, rules, and requirements of the FGQ. The data collected have been part of a retrospective cohort study in the case of the FGQ and have been implemented by the HPS, an empirical research questionnaire conducted over a period of six months, as approved by the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). Patients have been able to choose to participate in the therapeutic focus group and not allow their responses to be used for research. Furthermore, patients have been able to decide to only answer the questions in the FGQ and not take part in the HPS. In the case of patients changing their mind after the focus group interview has been completed and wishing to withdraw from the study, the information collected has been used as part of the research study because the information was recorded with no identifiers, and with no link to patients' name.

Si trattava della copertina di un'edizione del diario di Nijinsky, che ne ritraeva il volto riflesso in uno specchio. La sua figura, i suoi tratti, in apparenza neutri ed immobili, rivelavano quell'intenso furore e quella forza che sempre caratterizzarono la sua vita. Questa sua capacità di esprimere una solenne ed enigmatica staticità, una sensazione di grave potenza e, nel contempo, suggerire un intenso dinamismo emotivo, rende questa pur semplice foto un autentico quadro, carico dell'energia del soggetto stesso. Il magnetismo di quest'immagine è tale da essere in grado di catturare l'attenzione anche di chi, come molti, non sanno riconoscervi il celebre Nijinsky, ed a provarlo sono state le reazioni che le persone hanno avuto guardandola riprodotta nella locandina dello spettacolo. Di qui dunque l'idea di creare non una coreografia ma un quadro, un ferma immagine capace di evocare le molteplici sfaccettature di un mio stato d'animo, di volta in volta suscitato da uno o l'altro argomento. La struttura si compone di quattro quadri, impostati sul concetto multimediale di tableau vivant, e collegati a quattro citazioni letterarie da Baricco, Pirandello, Remarque ed appunto Nijinsky. Il Quadro di Nijinsky, che nell'opera finale è risultato poi essere il quarto, ha fissato proprio la duplicità del carattere del danzatore. La coreografia è stata ideata e sviluppata su due percorsi tra loro simmetrici e contigui il cui punto d'incontro è lo stesso Nijinsky, interpretato da un attore (Alberto Rizzi), che come veicolo comunicativo utilizza principalmente la parola e con essa si rapporta sia alla moglie, una danzatrice (Aurora Mischi), che al suo doppio

It discusses not only the disease experienced by the person who is ill, but also focuses on the context and the culture, and investigates how narrative medicine can make other disciplines around the globe more applicable, less manipulative, and more "scientific". Only by integrating the narrative aspects, can EBM become more effective and efficient, with fewer uncured patients, more satisfied patients with a better quality of life, and satisfaction for all health care providers. Every chapter is divided into two main sections: the first presents the latest research in the field, with comments and interviews with experts, while the second section provides a list of practical exercises and tasks. The book is intended for anyone with an interest in caring for and curing patients: all care providers of care,

A cluster of studies in this review carried out qualitative or mixed methods studies to meet this need. Qualitative data analysis strategies included grounded theory (Lee, 2013), interpretative thematic analysis coupled with a “composite vignette” (D. A. Coholic & Eys, 2016), and an unnamed theory developed by Morse & Field (1996) that relied heavily on the clinician’s interpretation and cultural understand to analyze the artwork produced (Wikström, 2005).

Sebbene ci si possa chiedere quali siano i valori stilistici, concettuali o estetici della sua arte, in questa sede ci vogliamo soffermare per qualche istante sulla sua figura, in quanto persona. Il binomio natura-cultura è infatti uno dei cardini identificativi di questo artista. Paradossalmente, è proprio la sua umiltà, anche nel senso strettamente etimologico del termine, a portarlo verso due confini, in un certo senso, elitari. Il primo è il contatto con l'aspetto ctonio, viscerale, intimo e animale della creazione. Il secondo è la capacità di parlare direttamente allo spettatore, che diviene dunque parte integrante dell'opera, e non separato in ammirazione o critica come spesso vuole un certo (anche di se stesso) sistema dell'arte. Per questo, Maurizio Boscheri rappresenta quel "buon gusto" vicino alla καλοκαγαθία di greca memoria, che racchiude una bellezza estetica ed etica, che non si pone la necessità esistenziale di differenziarsi per separazione, ma per inclusione. In questo senso, le opere di Boscheri sono davvero all portata di tutti, di tutti quelli che si vogliano lasciar trasportare in un mondo vicino ancorché distante e troppo spesso incompreso. Tuttavia, o meglio proprio per questo motivo, i suoi quadri ci spingono oltre il luogo comune, oltre le mezze misure, oltre lo stereotipo massificante e piatto di un certo modo di sopravvivere (più che di vivere) medioborghese. Le forme, i colori, la poetica strutturale fondono l'esotico con l'esoterico, ma senza lo stucchevole e soffocante arzigogolo di simboli come possiamo trovare in alcuni bassi esempi di produzione artistico-letteraria di stampo New Age. L'arte di Boscheri ha infatti a cuore tutto un sistema di valori che trascendono principi commerciali tipici del sistema artistico, e in fondo culturale, contemporaneo. Nei suoi quadri c'è una meticolosa attenzione per il dettaglio, ma non si perde mai di vista l'immagine complessiva,

Galleria San Fedele, 2004

Il termine 'mystica' si lega all'interpretazione etimologica del mito sussurrato greco, e non vuole essere linea di demarcazione con ciò che nella contemporaneità viene considerato 'non spirituale'. Il concetto alla base della performance è l'unione della sfera psicosomatica dell'individuo, che non viene analizzato in entità separate di corpo ed anima. Potremo dire che se i precedenti lavori interessavano il rapporto tra gli opposti, con questa proposta si vuole avvicinare un ulteriore piano significante. Potremo dire che i complementari descritti in '0+1=2', uniti in 'Synballein', rappresentano la base di un triangolo, di un elemento a tre, di una triade portatrice di simbolo e segno. Non viene data in questa sede alcuna definizione concernente il tipo di triade, se religiosa, filosofica, materia e via dicendo. L'unione mistica che si crea è un po' di tutto questo, non secondo un generico ammassamento di significati come spesso capita nell'esegesi new age di basso livello, ma verso una tolleranza culturale frutto della coscienza esperienziale. In sostanza, la performance non si propone di dare risposte o rappresentare specificamente un sistema simbolico, ma cerca di creare interrogativi nell'osservatore. Questo processo è mentale e fisico, grazie alla componente multimediale del lavoro, che vuole raggiungere un'estetica completa. Una percezione cioè, che va a sfiorare i sensi fisici e le sensazioni mentali, senza tralasciare le emozioni del cuore, fondamentali per un rapporto umano tra chi concepisce l'opera e chi la fruisce. La performance si compone di azione scenica, musiche, video ed elaborazione grafica, i materiali vengono descritti nelle schede seguenti. https://www.centrosanfedele.net/premio-giovani-artisti/

In scena: David Tomasi e Aurora Mischi Materiali: Video, musiche, tela, pennelli, pigmenti, terra, brocca d'acqua Descrizione: La performance richiama il concetto greco di synballein (unire assieme) da cui deriva il simbolo ed il messaggio che l'artista vuole trasmettere: la necessaria riappropiazione da parte dell'umanità di un sostrato simbolico-archetipico, sostituito con sempre maggiore forza nella contemporaneità da una moltitudine di immagini vuote, senza connessioni o radici con l'essenza vitale, lo spazio interiore, l' humilitas semplice e pura dell'essere umano. Si vuole cioè porre l'accento sulla dimensione intima e diretta del rapporto Io-Tu (analizzato in altre performances dell'artista, come incomunicabilità-0+1=2) come metafora ed esempio per le relazioni sociali su vasta scala. Una sorta di microcosmo per il macrocosmo, legato a diverse (e in ogni caso legate tra loro) discipline dello scibile umano, come l'alchimia, l'antroposofia, lo gnosticismo, l'esoterismo e così via. L'unione di queste filosofie all'interno della performance serve come chiave per la comprensione del mondo contemporaneo e della sua specifica fenomenologia, non vuole essere semplicemente un nostalgico ritorno all'antico, anche se concetti come Sehnsucht ci trasportano direttamente nell'atmosfera dell'azione scenica. Svolgimento: In scena, inginocchiata di fronte al pubblico, un'attrice ha le mani affondate in un cumulo di terra, simbolo di energie telluriche e femminili. Rivolto verso la parete opposta, nella stessa posizione (che ritaglia una silhouette d'ombra, vera e concettuale, all'interno della proiezione del video sul muro) un attore incarna il principio cristologico e mascolino del Logos , che tuttavia incarnerà il principio femminile dell'acqua (nella brocca che trasporterà verso l'attrice) per poter raggiungere il suo polo opposto (che diverrà veramente tale attraverso il confronto con l' altro). I due attori sono separati da una tela posta esattamente sulla metà del pavimento, in modo da creare una struttura come questa: o I o. Si tratta di una linea di demarcazione tra complementari, come il pieno ed il vuoto, poros e penia , maschile e femminile e così via, ma anche tra piani di realtà diversi, come il già citato macrocosmo-microcosmo, il terreno ed il celeste, l'umano ed il divino. Per poter passare la linea, l'uomo (che in questo caso è anche essere umano) deve 'passare sopra le acque' (evidente il riferimento con riti d'iniziazione ed esegesi

Con la fine dei conflitti e l’Europa finalmente unita, la Via Claudia Augusta è diventata un ponte che unisce e mescola culture, ambienti, emozioni; è un percorso-simbolo che attraversa tre nazioni dall’enorme varietà di paesaggio e di tradizioni, bellezze d’arte e specialità enogastronomiche, all’insegna di un turismo dal volto umano, giovane ed ecologicamente compatibile. Un itinerario che invita a lasciare a casa l’orologio, per vedere luoghi e paesaggi con un occhio nuovo, attento ai colori, alle sottili sfumature, ai profumi, al sapore della storia che intride qui ogni cosa.

Questo giovane artista, nato in un luogo che si presenta come crocevia, anche contraddittorio, fra Cultura mitteleuropea e Cultura mediterranea, unisce in sé la ratio del pensiero nordico ed il calore del temperamento del Sud. Lo testimoniano il suo farsi sintesi nella parola che diventa immagine e nel colore che si fa suono. Potremmo certo parlare di Tomasi come di un poeta visivo, anche se non valgono in questo caso i riferimenti ai movimenti storici del genere. Lo potremmo interpretare come poeta visivo solo se riusciamo a coglierlo nella sua tensione verso il segno quale esperienza totale dell'Arte. I suoi quadri "babelici" emergono dalla Memoria e si proiettano nel Futuro consegnando a noi, testimoni del contemporaneo, l'impronta di un messaggio che galleggia sul mare delle relazioni umane. Daniela Rosi :RENZO MARGONARI: Biennale Giovani 2004, MAM Il contatto tra segno e colore, tra parola e pittura, la sintesi tra musica e poesia: questo è il mondo di Tomasi, cacciatore di sensazioni senza barriere tra espressioni differenti. Il suo è il terreno della contaminazione tra generi, stili, materiali e le percezioni sono catturate nelle parole di un testo come nelle dinamiche della natura, nel dialogo con gli altri come nel silenzio della solitudine.

Tomasi Le opere di David Tomasi possono esser viste in questo contesto. Nel suo caso però, la scrittura segue anche percorsi in diagonale, in verticale, in movimento. Inoltre David usa supporti "buferati", non lindi: la scrittura diviene una traccia che emerge da un mondo in via di estinzione, da dei relitti o forse da qualcosa che si sta salvando da un naufragio. >>Le Lettere di David E si può interpretare in questo senso il titolo "Lettere di nostalgia" che Tomasi ha voluto dare a questa sua esposizione. Le lettere delle parole o le lettere vere e proprie che il naufrago infila in una bottiglia. >>La Nostalgia dei Valori Nostalgia di che cosa? Nostalgia di sentimenti intesi come valori fortemente voluti. Valori da salvare dal naufragio della sordità tecnologica, incarnata in una euforia nichilista, che tutto ingloba, trasformando "amore", "passione", "compassione", "eros", "gioia", "piacere", "pietas", in stereotipi ripetitivi, somministrati "in automatico", da una globalizzazione sempre più incalzante. >>Verità e Scrittura Ma sappiamo bene che un sentimento può essere un valore quando è trasmissibile, quando cioè può essere comunicato agli altri, quando permette agli uomini di mettersi in relazione tra loro.

In species that produce two morphologically distinct types of gametes, and in which each individual produces only one type, a female is any individual that produces the larger type of gamete—called an ovum (or egg)—and a male produces the smaller type—called a sperm. Zygote: a eukaryotic (“true”) cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes. The zygote's genome is a combination of the DNA in each gamete, and contains all of the genetic information necessary to form a new individual. In multicellular organisms, the zygote is the earliest developmental stage. In single-celled organisms, the zygote can divide asexually by mitosis to produce identical offspring.

It has been shown that in these disorders the greatest clinical and psychosocial deterioration occurs in the first 5 years from onset, suggesting that this is a "critical period" which is crucial for the success of the treatment. Various recent researches have dealt with specific and early recognition and intervention in psychosis, showing that the sooner the treatment is implemented, the better the clinical and social outcome. The international guidelines recommend the early implementation of integrated pharmacological and psychosocial interventions, including a cognitive-behavioral oriented psychotherapy with patients and an intervention with families that enables them to better cope with the problems caused by the disorder. that afflicts their loved ones. An assistance organization that is able to integrate the various components of the intervention is also necessary. However, numerous data show that in Italy, and in various countries of the world, very few operators have specific skills in the context of Mental Health Centers and that there is a lack of knowledge on the best procedures for including these practices in these structures. , on how to deal with the organizational problems that they entail and on how to develop interventions that are at the same time specific, effective and individualized for the great variety of clinical pictures and social and relational distress that are found in patients and families who ask for help from Services. --- Mirella Ruggeri,

Can the state of our mind and spirit either cause or heal our physical ailment? These questions may sound irrational because they seem to be out of alignment with modern medicine. Yet, they are the fundamental principles of a group of therapies in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). These therapies include, for example, Yoga, Reiki, acupuncture, meditation, chiropractic, therapeutic touch, Qigong, Tai Chi, among others, and are an important part of the integrative health care. CAM has never been more popular in the U.S. Nearly 40 percent of adults report using CAM for preventing and treating diseases and health conditions, as well as for promoting personal wellness and well- being. Regardless, there is still a widespread skepticism and resistance to CAM in the medical community that is stemmed, in part, from the lack of conventionally rigorous scientific evidence about the efficacy and safety of CAM therapies. This seminar will allow students to learn and differentiate various levels of scientific evidence, to critically evaluate the existing CAM literature from experiential, theoretical, as well as evidence-based perspectives, and to understand unique challenges researchers face when designing studies of CAM therapies. In addition, students are expected to propose innovative research designs in which the CAM study validity can be enhanced.

The baby is called an embryo at this stage. Early pregnancy symptoms are: • morning sickness • increased urination • swollen breasts • fatigue It's during the embryonic stage that embryo cells begin to multiply and form the baby's body. The embryo's gastrointestinal tract, spinal cord, heart, and brain are the first organs to develop. This starts about one week after conception. The placenta also develops in the embryonic stage, and it plays a vital role in pregnancy because it carries nutrients, oxygen, and water to the baby. This development takes place about two or three weeks after conception.

Hierbei geht es zum Beispiel um den Takt der Bewegung, die Losgelassenheit und den Schwung des Pferdes. Das Pferd soll unter dem Reiter seine natürlichen Bewegungen verbessern und dabei in der Lage sein, seinen Reiter auf dem Rücken zu tragen. Dazu muss der Reiter ausbalanciert sitzen und mit Gewicht, Schenkel und Zügel gezielt einwirken können, um das Pferd zu veranlassen die gewünschten Übungen auszuführen.

Bei Dressurprüfungen geht es bis zu den Lektionen wie der Piaffe (das Traben auf der Stelle), Galopppirouette (mit den Vorderbeinen galoppiert das Pferd um seine eigene Achse) oder auch der Traversale (seitwärtstreten). Aber auch für alle anderen Bereiche ist eine Grundausbildung in der Dressur wichtig, denn hier lernt das Pferd auf die Hilfen zu reagieren, die gewünschte Gangart zu gehen und sich genau lenken zu lassen.

This course presents an analysis of the correlation between the mind and the body, a complex topic of study and discussion by scientists and philosophers, with fundamental applications to integrative medicine. Drawing largely on neuroscience and philosophy, students will examine the scientific method and incorporate lessons learned from a vast array of sources. Furthermore, students will learn about the neural underpinnings of cognition, emotion, and action, and about the processes at the basis of attention, memory, sensory and motor abilities, language, and understanding. The course will guide the student on a journey into medicine, psychology, artificial intelligence, embodied cognition, and social, ecological and anthropological models of perception, to discover our truest self. Furthermore, this course provides an ulterior investigation, beyond evidence-based, empirical, laboratory science, of the complexity of human experience in areas such as physical and emotional pain and pain perception, philosophical and/or spiritual outlook and interpretation of life and human existence, as well as free will/free won’t, judgement, responsibility, morality, and ethics. This investigation helps students navigating and understanding the complexity of the psychological processes underlying racism, verbal and physical abuse, harassment, and violence.

This analysis incorporates sociologically and philosophically informed theoretical frameworks, as well as an anthropological and historical analysis to further develop an awareness of race and racism at the individual or systemic levels, with a special focus in the United States. To provide further scientific evidence, this examination contains research data analysis from the Cultural Awareness and Diversity Study. More specifically, the focus of the study is on integrating cultural awareness into daily clinical practices to create more inclusive care for all patients, with a special focus on language, culture, interpretation, and bias in the context of widely-experienced barriers in mental health and public health in general. The final goal of the study is to promote understanding, providing a nurturing, informed-care, and to reduce barriers to accessing healthcare services for patients with diverse backgrounds

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Learn about the main elements of theories of human development, how they have influenced and still influence prevailing conceptions of human development in different contexts
2. Learn the essential features of these theories, and be able to critically evaluate these theories by identifying their strengths and limitations, and by comparing and contrasting the theories with each other.
3. Practice using each theory to explain and/or predict typical changes people go through.
4. Identify practice approaches based upon different theories and learn how to infer underlying philosophical assumptions and guiding theoretical beliefs
5. Consider the implications of each theory for designing efforts to support and facilitate development.
6. Develop an articulate expression and understanding of our own understanding, perspective, and possible bias of how development happens, based on the theories studied in class.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course discusses the current scientific research and literature, as well as the history, the philosophical, anthropological and social context of modern neuroscience to present a scientist-based and student-friendly exploration of the neural underpinnings of cognition, emotion, and action, and of the processes at the basis of attention, memory, sensory and motor abilities, language, and understanding. The course will guide the student on a journey into medicine, psychology, artificial intelligence, embodied cognition, and social, ecological and anthropological models of perception, to discover our truest self. In this effort, the course will introduce basic neuroanatomy, behavioral measures of perception and cognition, and functional imaging techniques. The analysis of the correlation between the mind and the body, a complex topic of study and discussion by scientists and philosophers will thus be examined utilizing the scientific method and incorporating lessons learned from a vast array of sources. This will allow the student to further examine scientific-evidence to support the application of critical neuroscience in integrative medicine and psychology, especially from the perspective of nociceptive factors, pain management and treatment, and psychotherapy

Hierbei geht es zum Beispiel um den Takt der Bewegung, die Losgelassenheit und den Schwung des Pferdes. Das Pferd soll unter dem Reiter seine natürlichen Bewegungen verbessern und dabei in der Lage sein, seinen Reiter auf dem Rücken zu tragen. Dazu muss der Reiter ausbalanciert sitzen und mit Gewicht, Schenkel und Zügel gezielt einwirken können, um das Pferd zu veranlassen die gewünschten Übungen auszuführen. Bei Dressurprüfungen geht es bis zu den Lektionen wie der Piaffe (das Traben auf der Stelle), Galopppirouette (mit den Vorderbeinen galoppiert das Pferd um seine eigene Achse) oder auch der Traversale (seitwärtstreten). Aber auch für alle anderen Bereiche ist eine Grundausbildung in der Dressur wichtig, denn hier lernt das Pferd auf die Hilfen zu reagieren, die gewünschte Gangart zu gehen und sich genau lenken zu lassen. Wer im Sattel Seitengänge gut kombiniert, überwindet fast jede Schwierigkeit beim Reiten. Die Grundlage des klassischen Dressurreitens ist die natürliche Tauglichkeit des Tieres. Der grundlegende Ausgangspunkt und das Ziel der klassischen Dressur ist die Vorbereitung des Pferdes und des Reiters im psychophysischen und technischen Sinne um abgestimmt, zwanglos und in der höchsten Konzentrationsstufe die Bewegungen auszuführen, die von Pferden auch sonst in freier Bewegung durchgeführt werden.
