Download or read book La douleur entre nociception et souffrance written by Jean-Claude Fondras and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’étude de la douleur recouvre à la fois la nociception physiologique, la sémiologie clinique et la souffrance vécue. À partir d’un questionnement épistémologique sur le savoir médical nous étudierons la position exemplaire tenue par la douleur dans le problème corps-esprit et en phénoménologie, avant de rechercher comment la tradition philosophique lui a fait face, en prônant diverses attitudes d’évitement, d’affrontement, de sublimation ou de dépassement. Ces sagesses sans médecine semblent remplacées aujourd’hui par une médecine sans sagesse qui soulève diverses questions relatives à son objet et à sa finalité : empathie et évaluation, durée et chronicité, éthique des décisions médicales, division du travail entre disciplines, faux-sens sur la douleur et la souffrance. En discernant les présupposés et les pièges du dolorisme et de l’algophobie, nous serons conduits à approfondir les enjeux de l’articulation et des limites entre la démarche médicale et l’approche philosophique

Download or read book Lived Time written by EUGENE. MINKOWSKI and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugène Minkowski's Lived Time articulates a phenomenology of time that is as inspired by the philosophical writings of Henri Bergson and Edmund Husserl as it is by the psychiatric descriptions of Eugen Bleuler. After providing a phenomenological description of the experience of time in normal life, Minkowski considers a number of mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, manic depression, and dementia, and he attempts to show that these pathological cases can be characterized in terms of a distortion of lived time and space. First published in French in 1933 as Le temps vécu, this edition of this classic work of phenomenological psychiatry and psychopathology includes a new foreword by Dan Zahavi that presents some of Minkowski's main ideas and discusses his contemporary relevance.

Download or read book Towards the Use of Noradrenergic Agonists for the Treatment of Pain written by Jean-Marie R. Besson and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts of many workers in the field of Pain research over the past few years to design novel analgesics have, unfortunately not significantly increased the availability of real new drugs for the pharmacological treatment of pain. Morphine (or related agonists) remains the most effective remedy to relieve severe pain, despite some very real progress made in pain management over the past decade. The development of new experimental models of clinical pain appears to be essential. Many data suggest great potential for using the noradrenergic modulation either at central or even at peripheral levels. However it appears from the present book, that basic scientists and clinicians should be prudent before definitive conclusions. A detailed listing of the papers provided in this publication is provided hereunder.

Download or read book Mental Imagery in Clinical Disorders written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental imagery refers to the mental simulation or recreation of perceptual experience across different sensory modalities. The exploration of mental imagery represents a new and important area within clinical psychology, but arguably one still in its infancy. While mental imagery has featured prominently in recent theoretical accounts of disorders as diverse as post-traumatic stress disorder, phobia, body dysmorphic disorder, mood disorders, and psychosis, there remains an insufficiently strong theoretical and methodological foundation to enable comparison of the role of imagery across such different disorders. The current research topic presents a diverse range of cutting-edge papers focusing on investigating the underlying mechanisms and/or treatment interventions associated with mental imagery in clinical disorders, with the goal of helping establish those common elements most clinically relevant when investigating mental imagery. The research topic comprises fifteen articles drawn from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, and neuroscience. This is a unique collection of articles that combine different perspectives from the field of clinical psychology with more diverse perspectives drawn from the wider literature on mental imagery. The original research studies and theoretical articles presented are organised around four main chapters that cover imagery and eye movements, imagery and craving, imagery and autobiographical memory, and imagery and clinical disorders. We believe that the range of submissions presented in the research topic make a strong contribution to helping establish a theoretical and methodological foundation that can enable the effective study of imagery across different disorders and domains.

Download or read book Empathy written by Jean Decety and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent work on empathy theory, research, and applications, by scholars from disciplines ranging from neuroscience to psychoanalysis. There are many reasons for scholars to investigate empathy. Empathy plays a crucial role in human social interaction at all stages of life; it is thought to help motivate positive social behavior, inhibit aggression, and provide the affective and motivational bases for moral development; it is a necessary component of psychotherapy and patient-physician interactions. This volume covers a wide range of topics in empathy theory, research, and applications, helping to integrate perspectives as varied as anthropology and neuroscience. The contributors discuss the evolution of empathy within the mammalian brain and the development of empathy in infants and children; the relationships among empathy, social behavior, compassion, and altruism; the neural underpinnings of empathy; cognitive versus emotional empathy in clinical practice; and the cost of empathy. Taken together, the contributions significantly broaden the interdisciplinary scope of empathy studies, reporting on current knowledge of the evolutionary, social, developmental, cognitive, and neurobiological aspects of empathy and linking this capacity to human communication, including in clinical practice and medical education.
