Psychiatry is concerned with mental health. Cognition is one of the key mental functions and manifests itself primarily as behavior. A behavior exhibited in response to a stimulus is influenced by biological (inherited), psychological (individual), and social (environmental) factors. During consolidation of an exhibited behavior, the factors affecting the individual's cognitive structure and personality play crucial roles. Underlying factors for a problematic behavior, and their weakness/strength levels are determined via the Biopsychosocial model. Empirically effective current practices to intervene the problematic behaviors do not always result in success. One of the reasons may be other elements that were omitted during the case formulation process. This article aims to stress the idea that whatever the underlying factor of a problematic behavior is, the most crucial determinant and/or pre-emptive factor in developing or maintaining that behavior might actually be the religion as a governing and directive philosophy on how to conduct oneself. In this instance, the key is in the hands of the parents or caregivers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CAPOEIRA (Dance) , *MIND & body , *SOCIAL marginality , *LIBERTY , *AWARENESS - Abstract
Capoeira is an effective rehabilitative practice for marginal populations. There is a need to define the essential elements of the trainee's experience, and to conceptualize and define the processes of inclusion and rehabilitation associated with Capoeira training. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic rehabilitative elements of Capoeira pedagogy as perceived by Capoeira instructors who work with youths and young adults who experience social marginalization. Ten Capoeira instructors working with diverse populations were interviewed to gain insights regarding rehabilitative characteristics of Capoeira practice from their experiences. Thematic analysis revealed four components of Capoeira pedagogy that correspond to rehabilitative concepts: an alternative of non-violent aggression, inclusion into a community, promotes diversity and grants the trainee an experience of a significant being in the world and promotes an awareness of freedom and liberation. Combining several rehabilitative paths to a cohesive practice, initiates Capoeira as a fertile terrain for rehabilitation through inclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

COLLECTIVE unconscious , *ARCHETYPES , *AWARENESS , *INDIVIDUATION (Psychology) - Abstract
A combination of somatic and psychodynamic approaches can reveal embodied ego-states, subpersonalities, and archetypal influences communicating through the body-mind. This paper supports the hypothesis that ego-states and other elements of the psyche manifest somatically. Thus, more attention needs to be given to the body as part of the therapeutic dialogue. This can illuminate egoic manifestations occurring with bodywork - for example, Reich's process for loosening character armoring, and Jung's theory of a universal collective unconscious with its archetypal forces manifesting biologically, leading to soul growth and individuation. Fragmented ego states, archetypal forces, and introjected subpersonalities become conscious as messenger molecules and neural networks attempt to communicate and heal the mind-body split. The goal is integration leading to embodied wholeness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

NEAR infrared spectroscopy , *PSYCHOTHERAPY , *DATA analysis - Abstract
Aquaphotomics is a new discipline that uses spectroscopy to examine how water molecules change conformation under certain stimuli or perturbations (Tsenkova, R., 2006, 2009; Bazar et al., 2015; Muncan & Tsenkova, 2023; Tsenkova et al., 2018). Here we describe a novel non-invasive method for collecting NIR spectra from the palms of participants in body psychotherapy sessions at the Bulgarian Neo-Reichian Institute for Analytical Therapy, which after multivariate data spectral analysis allowed us to decipher structural changes in their water molecular matrices at the end of each session. Our results point to a structural coherence between the participants, as well as a healthier, more energized, and stress-free water matricidal signature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present research dissertation has been developed with the intention to provide practical strategies and discover new intellectual operations which can be used to generate Transdisciplinary insight. For this reason, this thesis creates access to new knowledge at different scales. Firstly, as it pertains to the scale of new knowledge generated by those who attend Becomebecome events. The open-source nature of the Becomebecome methodology makes it possible for participants in Becomebecome workshops, training programmes and residencies to generate new insight about the specific project they are working on, which then reinforce and expand the foundational principles of the theoretical background. Secondly, as it pertains to the scale of the Becomebecome framework, which remains independent of location and moment in time. The method proposed to access Transdisciplinary knowledge constitutes new knowledge in itself because the sequence of activities, described as physical and mental procedures and listed as essential criteria, have never been found organised 6 in such a specific order before. It is indeed the order in time, i.e. the sequence of the ideas and activities proposed, which allows one to transform Disciplinary knowledge via a new Transdisciplinary frame of reference. Lastly, new knowledge about Transdisciplinarity as a field of study is created as a consequence of the heretofore listed two processes. The first part of the thesis is designated 'Becomebecome Theory' and focuses on the theoretical background and the intellectual operations necessary to support the creation of new Transdisciplinary knowledge. The second part of the thesis is designated 'Becomebecome Practice' and provides practical examples of the application of such operations. Crucially, the theoretical model described as the foundation for the Becomebecome methodology (Becomebecome Theory) is process-based and constantly checked against the insight generated through Becomebecome Practice. To this effect, 'information about the observer' is proposed as a key notion which binds together Transdisciplinary resources from several studies in the hard sciences and humanities. It is a concept that enables understanding about why and how information that is generated through Becomebecome Practice is considered of paramount importance for establishing the reference parameters necessary to access Transdisciplinary insight which is meaningful to a specific project, a specific person, or a specific moment in time.

The article is devoted to the study of the formation of Arthur Lessac's methodology, systematisation of its main elements and specification of the possibilities of their application in the process of vocal training of actors. The purpose of the article is to systematize the elements of Arthur Lessac's method in the vocal training of actors. To realize the goal, a system-analytical method was used. Research methodology. To achieve the purpose, the researcher used a systematic-analytical method, which specifies the methodological foundations of "kinesis training" and identifies those elements that can be used in the process of vocal training of actors. The scientific novelty is to clarify the components of Arthur Lessack's methodology, as well as to identify opportunities for applying the elements of "kinesis training" in the vocal training of actors. Conclusions. The methodology developed by Arthur Lessac in the mid-twentieth century, called "kinesis training", has become widespread in many countries around the world. It is based on conscious control of one's own body and awareness of its natural capabilities, and is an important part of actors' training. The technique can be a significant methodological component in the process of professional training of actors in higher education institutions in Ukraine. The main elements of Arthur Lessac's "kinesis training" (the concept of "three energies" (consonant energy, tonal energy, structural energy); "environments" (internal and external), "body-mind") should be used in the process of vocal training of actors in order to develop stage speech and vocal articulation, awareness of the functioning of the phonation organs, and actors' plasticity. Prospects for further scientific research in this area are to develop a comprehensive programme for the vocal development of future actors in the process of professional training based on Arthur Lessac's methodology, as well as to adapt "kinesis training" for the development of stage speech of future actors in higher education institutions of Ukraine.

embodiment ,aesthetic pedagogy ,perception ,tact ,body-mind ,Education - Abstract
The article reflects on the relationship between pedagogy and body moving from the sense of tact. Firstly, the question of the body-mind relationship in contemporary pedagogy is presented. Starting from the cartesian division of mind and body, we expose the main issues related to a possible overcoming of such dualism. In addition, we maintain that cartesian dualism significantly contributed to a dominance of mind over body in education. Then, we reconstruct the history of “pedagogical tact”: this concept changed from an original somatic significance to a more interpersonal sense, putting the question of the body aside. In conclusion, we maintain that re-considering tact in its somatic significance can help build innovative pedagogical theories and practices aimed at a broader reconsideration of bodies in education.

Background: The default mode network (DMN) is a large-scale brain network tightly correlated with self and self-referential processing, activated by intrinsic tasks and deactivated by externally-directed tasks. Objective: In this study, we aim to investigate the novel approach of default mode activation during progressive muscle relaxation and examine whether differential activation patterns result from the movement of different body parts. Methods: We employed neuroimaging to investigate DMN activity during simple body movements, while performing progressive muscle relaxation. We focused on differentiating the neural response between facial movements and movements of other body parts. Results: Our results show that the movement of different body parts led to deactivation in several DMN nodes, namely the temporal poles, hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and posterior cingulate cortex. However, facial movement induced an inverted and selective positive BOLD pattern in some of these areas precisely. Moreover, areas in the temporal poles selective for face movement showed functional connectivity not only with the hippocampus and mPFC but also with the nucleus accumbens. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that both conceptual and embodied self-related processes, including body movements during progressive muscle relaxation, may be mapped onto shared brain networks. This could enhance our understanding of how practices like PMR influence DMN activity and potentially offer insights to inform therapeutic strategies that rely on mindful body movements.

Sparse attention is paid in the psychoanalytic literature to the management of self-care needs of the analyst. I suggest that pandemic fatigue experienced by psychotherapists during the Covid-19 global crisis has thrown into bold relief the requirement for clinicians to attune to the body, particularly the requirement for rest and creative space. Physical and emotional exhaustion is multidetermined and not unique to this time period; the global crisis appears to have unmasked particular difficulties in sensing and tending to requirements of the body-mind. Changes observed in sleep, dreams, exercise, eating, and somatic states during the pandemic raise additional questions about modifiable risk factors of burnout. Drawing upon contemporary evidence emerging from the fields of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and psychodynamic practice and theory, suggestions are made to assist the analyst in rendering essential self-care.

Objective: A growing body of evidence supports the effectiveness of body-oriented interventions (BOI) in educational contexts, showing positive influences on social-emotional competence. Nevertheless, there is a lack of systematization of the evidence regarding preschool years. This is a two-part systematic review. In this first part, we aim to examine the effects of BOI on preschoolers' social-emotional competence outcomes. Data Sources: Searches were conducted in Pubmed, Scopus, PsycInfo, ERIC, Web of Science, Portal Regional da BVS and CINAHL. Eligibility Criteria: English, French and Portuguese language articles published between January 2000 and October 2020, that evaluated the effects of BOI implemented in educational contexts on social-emotional competence of preschool children. Only randomized controlled trials (RCT) or quasi-RCT were included. Data Extraction and Synthesis: Two reviewers independently completed data extraction and risk-of-bias assessment. The level of scientific evidence was measured through the Best Evidence Synthesis. Results: Nineteen studies were included. There was strong evidence that BOI do not improve anger/aggression, delay of gratification and altruism. Nevertheless, there was moderate evidence that BOI effectively improve other social-emotional outcomes, such as empathy, social interaction, social independence, general internalizing behaviors, and general externalizing behaviors. The lack of scientific evidence was compromised by the methodological quality of the studies. Conclusion: BOI effectively improve specific social-emotional competences of preschool children.

Abstract Objective The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) is a validated measure to assess interoceptive awareness. Although an earlier study evaluated the Japanese version of the MAIA, it did not examine the measure’s test–retest reliability and the data fit of the factor structure. This study aims to further validate the Japanese version of the MAIA. Results In this cross-sectional study, 268 Japanese individuals participated. They completed the Japanese version of the MAIA and concurrent validity measures. The test–retest reliability of the Japanese version’s subscales ranged from adequate to high (intra-class coefficients = 0.76–0.85). Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the Japanese six-factor structure had a good fit in Japanese. The MAIA subscales were moderately associated with scores on the Body Awareness Scale (rho = 0.25–0.49). The results indicated high test–retest reliability and further confirmed the validity of the six-factor structure of the Japanese version of the MAIA. Hence, the Japanese version of the MAIA is a useful measure to assess interoceptive awareness in the Japanese population.

COLOR vision , *PSYCHOLOGY of color - Abstract
Color therapy, healing through color, supposedly works through the physical exposure to color. In two studies, we assessed stress and anxiety reduction after color exposure using a commercially available relaxation‐through‐color routine. Participants either completed the routine by looking at the accompanying color disks or at a white patch. In study 1 (longitudinal), 60 participants completed the routine three times, each testing session separated by a week. In study 2 (cross‐sectional), 63 participants completed half of the trials once. In both studies, we recorded a decrease in stress and anxiety levels comparing before‐after scores. In study 1, we recorded incremental decreases with each week. Crucially, decreases were the same whether participants (a) physically saw colors or not, and (b) completed the full or shortened version. We conclude that other factors but physical exposure to color explain changes in affective states associated with this and probably other color therapy routines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Syftet med studien är att öka elevers materialförståelse för olika textilier och förbättra deras förmåga att fatta självständiga samt välgrundade beslut utifrån det de vill skapa. Följande frågeställningar utgår undersökningen ifrån: Vad är grundläggande materialkännedom i textilslöjd för grundskoleelever?Hur kan slöjdlärare öka elevers materialförståelse i textilslöjd? Utgångspunkten för studien har sin grund i en övningsuppgift inom materialkännedom som jag genomförde med åk 9 i textilslöjd under VFU. Metoden i denna undersökning påminner om en learning study med ett planerat undervisningsinnehåll som inbjuder deltagarna attt aktilt utforska olika textilier utifrån ett body-mindperspektiv. Avslutningsvis genomförs en kunskapskontroll med frågesportspelet Kahoot1 för att ta reda på vad deltagarna tagit med sig. Till den första frågeställningen har jag sammanställt frågeformulär från två slöjdlärare och till andra frågeställningen har resultatet i Kahoot analyserats utifrån två analyskriterier som beskriver svårighetsgrad och kunskapsutveckling.De allra flesta textilslöjdslärare arbetar inte med materiallära som ett eget ämne utan tar upp det när de upplever det passande. Materiallära behöver dock inte endast presenteras som något teoretiskt där eleverna blir passiva lyssnare till olika textila termer. Genom att som lärare ha en systematik och konsekvent lyfta in materialläran kan det bidra till en ökad medvetenhet hos eleverna, särskilt i en tid när miljö- och hållbarhetsfrågor är mycket aktuella.

- Abstract
Objectives: To study the relationship between coping strategies and nausea during emetogenic pelvic-abdominal radiotherapy, and to describe the patients' rationales for their expectations regarding nausea. Methods: Patients (n = 200: 84% women, mean age 64 years, 69% had gynecological, 27% colorectal, and 4% had other malignances) longitudinally participated during pelvic-abdominal radiotherapy. We measured adopted coping strategies using the Mental Adjustment to Cancer scale and the patients' rationales for their expectations regarding nausea at baseline. The patients registered nausea and vomiting daily during the radiotherapy period (mean 36 + Standard Deviation 10 days). Results: Patients who experienced nausea (n = 128, 64%) during the radiotherapy period graded a lower score on "Fighting Spirit" (median, md, score 51, P = .031) and a higher score on "anxious preoccupation" (md 18, P = .040) compared to patients who did not experience nausea (n = 72, 36%), md 54 and md 17. More of the patients for whom "Helpless-Hopeless" represented the most predominant response experienced nausea (100%) or vomited (56%) compared to patients adopting "Fighting Spirit": 62% experienced nausea (P = .011) and 20% vomited (P = .014). Only four (6%) of the nausea-free patients had expected themselves to be at increased risk for nausea. Of the patients who became nauseous, 22 (17%) patients had expected themselves to be at increased risk for nausea (P = .017), based on previous experience. Conclusion : Patients adopting maladaptive coping strategies or patients expecting nausea based on previous experiences, were more likely to experience nausea than other patients when undergoing emetogenic pelvic-abdominal radiotherapy. Cancer care professionals may identify patients adopting maladaptive coping strategies or having high nausea expectations by applying the MAC scale and self-assessment of expected nausea risk and guide these patients to adopt adaptive coping strategies and strengthen their expectations on successful prevention of nausea.Trial registration number: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT00621660., Competing Interests: Declaration of Conflicting InterestsThe author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Strong subjective factors embedded in self-existence and the non-reductive and encompassed existence of the self imply the need for imagining self-representations that are inclusive and integrated. Towards this end, arguments from philosophy of psychology, consciousness studies, literature, and material culture are presented. They facilitate understanding the presence and formation of self-narratives. There is need to trace the presence of the self both within and beyond the space of body–mind and the self-narratives. Also, the understanding of subjective nature of consciousness lies in the process of epsitemologizing 'experience' and its self. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following article treats the subject of first year pedagogy in the acting classroom: body-mind concept, the use of space-time in a theatrical approach, the understanding of the performer-student's own body. In the borders of the classroom a profound research on the body and its performative actions is required alongside a personal tackle in the physical patterns of the performer-student and the constructive use of the creative process. The article is a short graphical inside of how an acting technique like Viewpoints can provide a large range of possibilities from which a student can begin to understand the relationship between one own's body and space-time cuantum, body-mind-presence.

The importance to include body-sensations and movement into the therapeutic and psycho-analytic process has been emphasized in current years. Somatic Transference and Countertransference add to the perception and analysis of physical sensations of both client and therapist. This paper addresses the very moment of change in working somatically with the pre- and non-verbal realm. It focuses on the inter-subjective experience during specific moments of change, when clients engage in silent, self-initiated free movement, dropping into a dream-like as well as alert state of consciousness. In a hermeneutically analysed clinical case the body transforms the psycho-physiological conglomerate of a pending issue. Moments of intensified sensory experience are illustrated, when the client subjectively starts to dissolve constricting patterns held in the body and moves from there into something new, beyond their usual ego and body perception. The resonance-phenomena illustrated relate to field interactions as described in Brennan Healing Science® (BHS). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this study we aimed to develop a theoretical account of the experienced benefit of psychomotor therapy in addition to treatment as usual in patients with chronic shoulder pain. The qualitative study design was based on a grounded theory approach. Open-ended face-to-face interviews were conducted after treatment was completed. We generated data and performed analyses by constant comparative analysis and theoretical sampling that focused on the patients' behavioural characteristics related to the experienced benefit of psychomotor therapy. We conducted 12 interviews, eight of which were with men. “Regaining capability” emerged as representative of the pattern of behaviour. Through this pattern, the patients resolved concern about losing capability. Regaining capability involved three behavioural typologies: taking advice, minding the body, and encompassing life changes. The patients' behavioural typologies revealed different levels of life changes. Psychomotor therapy offered the patients in our study new and better ways of coping with their shoulder pain.

40. Geometry of Relationship. A Pedagogical Reflection on Embodiment Starting from Tact

Donato, Antonio, Rovea, Federico, Donato, Antonio, and Rovea, Federico
- Abstract
The article reflects on the relationship between pedagogy and body moving from the sense of tact. Firstly, the question of the body-mind relationship in contemporary pedagogy is presented. Starting from the cartesian division of mind and body, we expose the main issues related to a possible overcoming of such dualism. In addition, we maintain that cartesian dualism significantly contributed to a dominance of mind over body in education. Then, we reconstruct the history of “pedagogical tact”: this concept changed from an original somatic significance to a more interpersonal sense, putting the question of the body aside. In conclusion, we maintain that re-considering tact in its somatic significance can help build innovative pedagogical theories and practices aimed at a broader reconsideration of bodies in education.

Although movement has long been recognized as expressing emotion and as an agent of change for emotional state, there was a dearth of scientific evidence specifying which aspects of movement influence specific emotions. The recent identification of clusters of Laban movement components which elicit and enhance the basic emotions of anger, fear, sadness and happiness indicates which types of movements can affect these emotions (Shafir et al., 2016), but not how best to apply this knowledge. This perspective paper lays out a conceptual groundwork for how to effectively use these new findings to support emotional resiliency through voluntary choice of one's posture and movements. We suggest that three theoretical principles from Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) can guide the gradual change in movement components in one's daily movements to somatically support shift in affective state: (A) Introduce new movement components in developmental order; (B) Use LMA affinities-among-components to guide the expansion of expressive movement range and (C) Sequence change among components based on Laban's Space Harmony theory to support the gradual integration of that new range. The methods postulated in this article have potential to foster resiliency and provide resources for self-efficacy by expanding our capacity to adapt emotionally to challenges through modulating our movement responses.

Although movement has long been recognized as expressing emotion and as an agent of change for emotional state, there was a dearth of scientific evidence specifying which aspects of movement influence specific emotions. The recent identification of clusters of Laban movement components which elicit and enhance the basic emotions of anger, fear, sadness and happiness indicates which types of movements can affect these emotions (Shafir et al., 2016), but not how best to apply this knowledge. This perspective paper lays out a conceptual groundwork for how to effectively use these new findings to support emotional resiliency through voluntary choice of one’s posture and movements. We suggest that three theoretical principles from Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) can guide the gradual change in movement components in one’s daily movements to somatically support shift in affective state: (A) Introduce newmovement components in developmental order; (B) Use LMA affinities-among-components to guide the expansion of expressive movement range and (C) Sequence change among components based on Laban’s Space Harmony theory to support the gradual integration of that new range.

DANCE therapy ,FIBROMYALGIA - Abstract
This descriptive study evaluates how dance movement psychotherapy (DMP) works in patients with fibromyalgia, analysing the psychotherapeutic process. As a second objective, we considered the effects of DMP on pain, stiffness, fatigue, anxiety, depression and lifestyle changes. The study includes 16 patients with a diagnosis of primitive fibromyalgia who were referred to individual DMP for psychological distress related to pain. Self-assessment questionnaires were administered before and after the intervention, and the data were analysed using a simple regression model and Student’s test. Despite limitations, the study highlights changes in many areas of the relationship with Self and with Others. Some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia seem to have decreased, but the results were not statistically significant. The patients used the movement as a means of expression despite pain or other disabling symptoms. A low drop-out rate suggests that this approach could be useful when it is difficult to develop a therapeutic alliance. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Shahar, Yael
- Abstract
This paper addresses the sensitive issue of male circumcision and its psychological ramifications, so seldom mentioned in conversation or addressed in the literature. It explores the emotional significance of circumcision from the standpoint of body psychotherapy. Using a single case study, the author discusses the paradox inherent in circumcision which, on the one hand, claims to be an act of devotion and surrender, but, on the other, implants mistrust in the newborn baby. Finally, the author examines the implications of a lack of dialogue about circumcision and considers how therapists might deal with the issue in their work. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
