For a clinical psychology as an expression of scientific sense: from the hybridization of knowledge with the medical method to its placement within a precise and rigorous operative method (original) (raw)

Clinical Diagnosis from a Psychodramatic Perspective: From role theory to an operative diagnosis

This article focuses on the relationship between psychodrama and diagnostic action. It begins with general epistemological considerations regarding the relationship between the assessor and the observed subject. Aspects of existentialism, scientific knowledge, subjectivity and the search for universal truth are reflected upon. These are developed in order to define typologies, purposes, characteristics and the limits of possible diagnostic activities compatible with the Morenian philosophy and method. In this context the specific category of a working diagnosis is defined, from which principles and reference criteria are explained and described.

Further Thoughts on ?That Which Patients Bring to Analysis?

British Journal of Psychotherapy, 1994

The concept of the internal objects and internal and external spaces has been further developed in this paper. These objects are an important part of patients seeking treatment for themselves for they are also looking unconsciously for 'treatment' of these objects. The objects are ' damaged' and the patient does not know how to repair them. He keeps them alive in the hope that help will come. The methods used to keep them alive, even when dying, have been described. The stages at which these objects have been, or are thought to have been, damaged is vital. For example, they can range from the sensori-motor level to higher levels of maturation, to produce psychosis, borderline or hypochondria. The concrete level is stressed for it leads to concrete repair as opposed to psychic reparation.

O Ensino da Psicologia em Medicina: Contexto, Metodologias e Identidade do Médico

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 2016

Introduction: Teaching Psychology in medical curriculum has been the subject of numerous dissertations that focus on the relevance of this knowledge for doctors, at a general level.Methods: A non-systematic review of the relevant literature, particularly from the last decade, as well as national and international recommendations addressing the need for integration of behavioural and social sciences in medical training, was performed.Results: The literature supports the existence of preconceptions and negative attitudes towards the role of psychology in medical education, demonstrated by research in various european and american universities. The socio-cultural context, the different methodologies and barriers experienced by teachers in medical education are listed and provide the matrix for a more comprehensive discussion of the development of the doctor’s identity.Conclusion: Revisiting the experience of many years of teaching Medical Psychology, it is considered that the process o...

Theses About Main Ontological and Epistemological Doctrine of Clinical Medicine in 21st Century

viXra, 2020

This small treatise is short introduction to main ontological and epistemological problem of the modern clinical medicine, interpreted here as a practical science; namely it is introduction to a problem of individuation (individualization) of doctoring. I will offer special treatises with more detail interpretation, a substantiation, and my version of the decision of this problem a little while later. Keywords: “clinical medicine”; “technological doctrine”; “individual nature of patient”; “individuation doctrine”; “individuation of doctoring”; “addressing of doctoring” (or “selectivity of doctoring”).

Psychology’s Borrowings from Medical Methodology: Analog Comparisons

Psychology, 2013

Medical advances force practitioners to work in an increasingly standardized manner with their patients. Quantitative health psychology attempts to follow a similar path by adopting, for the same patients, methods that are equally systematized. In this article, the origin of such an attempt will first be positioned historically. The clinical method will then be used to establish that, while patients tend to accept the constraints imposed by the medical technique, they usually resist those resulting from quantitative psychology. Based on clinical observations, we will present several ways in which such resistance may manifest itself. This article aims to further the understanding of qualitative health in psychology.

Theory as metaphor: clinical knowledge and its communication

Journal of Analytical Psychology, 2009

This paper investigates the relationship between clinical knowledge and psychological theory and considers the implications for clinical writing. I argue that clinical knowledge is a way of understanding rather than a body of facts and compare clinical material to 'texts' that generate multiple and indeterminate meanings. Analytic theories, which represent the crystallization of ways of understanding clinical phenomena, have an inherently metaphorical 'as if' quality since they are derived from and adapted to the clinical process of making meaning by representing psychic states in symbolic form. Thus good clinical writing demonstrates an integration of theory and clinical material into a unified network of symbolic meanings. Redfearn's paper, 'The captive, the treasure, the hero and the "anal" stage of development' (1979), is discussed as an exemplar of such integration. It is suggested that clinical knowledge is equivalent to the skill of making effective interpretations.

OLVIDO DE LOS FENÓMENOS PSICOLÓGICOS EN LA RELACIÓN MÉDICO-PACIENTE ANCIANO

Colombia Médica, 1998

Para evaluar las publicaciones sobre la relación médico-paciente anciano, se hizo una revisión sistemática de ese tema en el MEDLINE (1966MEDLINE ( -1995. Se buscaron los artículos de investigación que tenían que ver con los componentes de la relación médico-paciente anciano. De los 57 artículos que se incluyeron, 33% se enfocaban en las barreras actitudinales, 25% en los resultados, 23% en las capacidades de comunicación, 16% en asuntos éticos, y sólo 3% en los fenómenos psicológicos. Aspectos como la transferencia, la contratransferencia y la empatía son esenciales para entender la relación médico-paciente anciano. Se concluyó que los fenómenos psicológicos entre los médicos y sus pacientes ancianos a menudo no se incluyen en la investigación.
