The approach of Hobson et al. is limited to the description of global states of consciousness, although more detailed analyses of the specific contents of consciousness would also be required. Furthermore, their account of the mind-brain relationship remains obscure. Nielsen's discussion suffers from conceptual and definitional unclarity. Mentation during sleep could be clarified by reconceptualizing it as an issue about the contents of consciousness. Vertes & Eastman do not consider the types of memory (emotional) and learning (implicit) that are relevant during REM sleep, and therefore dismiss on inadequate grounds the possibility of memory functions associated with REM sleep.[Hobson et al.; Nielsen; Vertes & Eastman]

The Mind

Abstract What kind of functions does a theory carry out in the analyst’s mind at work? The author tries to describe, using a few analytic trailers, how Bion Field Theory (BFT) can become an oneiric psychoanalytic tool in the mind of the analyst working with inaccessible states of mind and the violence of nameless turbulences. The hypothesis expressed is that BFT, as described in the works of its principal authors (Ferro, Grotstein, Ogden et.c), seems to evoke a psych-O-analysis that chooses O as psychoanalytic vertex, developing the bionian idea of unconscious as psychoanalytic function of the mind. BFT introduces explains and illustrates an oneiric model of the mind and of the analytic cure. The priority given by this theory to the contact with emotional experience and the capacity to stay at one ment with the unknown emotional experience circulating in the hic et nunc, seems, in author’s analytical experience, to promote both the development of an authentic analytic Self and analytic ethic and a process of subjectivation in analyst, patient, analytic experience.

Communication Methods

One of the emotional problems disorders that are often encountered and has a psychological impact seriously is anxiety. Anxiety is an unclear and diffuse concern related to feelings of uncertainty and helplessness. Anxiety is an emotional experience that is short-lived and reasonable response, when individuals faceup pressure or events that threaten their lives, both internal and internal threats. Anxiety that happened and hav a relation ship with medical condition often found when patient came to healt hfacility, whichone of themisemergencyroom. Therapeutic communication methods provide understanding between nurses and patients with the aim of helping patients clarify and reduce the burden of the mind and are expected to eliminate anxiety. This study aims to knowabout relationship between therapeutic communication and the anxiety level of new patients.This study useddescription korelation with cross sectional approach. Sample are171 people. Instrument used for data collection is the questionnaire, anddata analysis used the Spearman Rho test. Therapeutic communication of nurses was mostly in good categorywas128 respondents (74.9%). The anxiety level of new patients is not anxious categorywere 127 respondents (74.3%). Rho Spearman's test results obtained a coefficient (r) of 0.901 with a p value of 0,000. Because p<0.005 then H0 is rejected.Conclusion,There is a significan trelation ship between therapeutic communication and the anxiety level of new patients in the emergency room at Tamanan Bondowoso Public Health Center.

Emotional Education

Soviet cinema’s ‘affective turn’ in the 1930s took shape in the context of far-ranging scientific debates about emotion and perceptual management. The Soviet film industry’s attention to emotional appeal and push to develop its genre repertoire at the end of the 1920s were closely linked, this chapter shows, to a broader re-evaluation of emotional life in Soviet psychology, as well as to a new scientific interest in the effects of cultural production on audiences. At the end of the 1920s, psychologists including Lev Vygotsky and Aleksandr Luria began to discredit the physiological reading of emotion that had held sway over the human sciences. Alongside its integration into the processes of the mind by the 1930s, emotion was rendered inextricable from the social environment and thereby amenable to cultivation and direction. The setting forth of ‘emotional education’ as a crucial cultural agenda spurred a wave of enquiries into the emotional impact of Soviet cinema. I explore how these sociological and psycho-physiological investigations not only re-conceptualized film viewing as predominantly an emotional experience, but established a correlation between the spectator’s emotional engagement and a film’s use of familiar narrative structures and clear genre markers. The chapter concludes by discussing Stalinist cinema’s commitment to increasing genre variety as both the corollary of an increased audience mindedness, and a symptom of its desire to better manage and guide audience response.

Introduction.Suicidal adolescents have a severely damaged body/mind relationship where issues pertaining to adolescence and psychache are tightly intertwined causing dissociation, hallucinations and concreteness. In this conundrum, the suffering mind swings from being identified and split from the body favouring self-harm and bodily together with visual hallucinations.Objectives.Investigating and working through suicidal concreteness together with the role and meaning of hallucinations in adolescents with a story of multiple suicide attempts.Aims.Achieving a first integration and appropriation of the emotional experience with the establishment of the boundaries between mind/body, inside/outside giving up hallucinations.Methods.Prolonged intensive psychodynamic work focusing on self-representation, the working through of persecutory internal objects causing rage, hostility and attacks on the affective links with the environment allowed a gradual process of integration of the self with the decrease of suicidiality.Results.The working through and containment of persecutory internal objects led to the possibility to unconsciously give up hallucinations and integrate the emotional experience in the mind together with the development of first effective boundaries between inside/outside.Conclusions.An intense work of containment and working through of persecution and rage in the early stages of the psychotherapeutic treatment of adolescent multiple attempters can significantly favour the relinquishment of hallucinatory mechanisms and self-harm as a way to cope with intolerable anguish and psychache. This favours the process of in dwelling of the psyche in the soma as described by Winnicott.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The author presents the results of the analysis of Bulgarian, Polish and Russiansentences based on mental and emotive verbs. These sentences are described in termsof propositional-semantic structures implemented in grammatical forms. The main focus is onthe types of profiling in the mind of mental reflection and emotional experience as the areasof reference for the verbal sentences. The author analyzes two classes of verbs in terms of thefunctionality of the various types of propositions, and takes into account the specificities of eachof the studied Slavic languages.

Abstract There is growing recognition within psychology and other disciplines that body experience may be as important as cognitive and emotional experience. However, psychology has few psychotherapeutic interventions to support the integration of mind and body within therapy. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy (PRYT) is a form of mind-body therapy that uses yoga posture, touch, and psychotherapeutic dialogue to facilitate growth and healing. The current study explored the phenomenological experience of four women who each received five PRYT sessions. Research questions posed were: (1) What are the clients' experiences of the phenomena of PRYT? and (2) How does receiving PRYT sessions impact the clients' lives? The following themes emerged from the data as the essence of PRYT sessions: mindfulness, self-awareness, mind-body connection, in vivo experience of new behaviors, client-directed, empowerment, and life changes. These themes show significance in the mind-body connection and that it is important to consider alternative modalities such as PRYT for clients. Each participant noted greater insight into mind-body connection. They noticed the effect of cognition and emotion on the body, observed how the body can be used to improve coping through movement and breathing, and experienced different thoughts and emotions associated with different areas of their bodies. Although these results are not necessarily generalizable, they offer interesting theoretical implications for embodied interventions.

AbstractWhile it is a well-established finding that subject’s own names (SON) or familiar voices are salient during wakefulness, we here investigated processing of environmental stimuli during sleep including deep N3 and REM sleep. Besides the effects of sleep depth we investigated how sleep-specific EEG patterns (i.e. sleep spindles and slow oscillations [SOs]) relate to stimulus processing. Using 256-channel EEG we studied processing of auditory stimuli by means of event-related oscillatory responses (de-/ synchronisation, ERD/ERS) and potentials (ERPs) in N = 17 healthy sleepers. We varied stimulus salience by manipulating subjective (SON vs. unfamiliar name) and paralinguistic emotional relevance (familiar vs. unfamiliar voice, FV/UFV). Results reveal that evaluation of voice familiarity continues during all NREM sleep stages and even REM sleep suggesting a ‘sentinel processing mode’ of the human brain in the absence of wake-like consciousness. Especially UFV stimuli elicit larger responses in a 1-15 Hz range suggesting they continue being salient. Beyond this, we find that sleep spindles and the negative slope of SOs attenuate information processing. However, unlike previously suggested they do not uniformly inhibit information processing, but inhibition seems to be scaled to stimulus salience.FundingCB is supported by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. and CB, MW and DPJH are supported by a grant from the Austrian Science Fund FWF (Y-777).
