Recovery Of Consciousness

Relevance. Neuropsychological rehabilitation and assessment are the priority tasks in practice of a clinical psychologist. The modern rehabilitation system can be considered as a partnership between patients, their families and different specialists participating in the rehabilitation process. The existing approaches to neurorehabilitation are aimed at the earliest possible intervention. It`s of particular importance for patients with disorders of consciousness, whose number has been increasing in connection with the development of medicine in recent decades. This leads to the need to develop tools for specialized neuropsychological assessment and methods of neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients in the early stages of recovery of consciousness. Objective. To summarize neuropsychological diagnostic and rehabilitation experience of working with patients with disorders of consciousness after brain lesions. Methods. We analyze practical guidelines, applied research and our own hands-on experience of working with patients with disorders of consciousness after brain lesions. Results. Based on the analysis, the recommended diagnostic tools are formulated that can be used to identify the current level of consciousness and to assess various parameters of psychic activity of patients with disorders of consciousness. In addition, the main directions and neuropsychological methods of rehabilitation work recommended for recovery of consciousness and continuing to be developed now are highlighted. Conclusion. A new diagnostic and rehabilitation material is presented, which is recommended for use in neuropsychological practice by practicing clinical psychologists with patients with disorders of consciousness after brain lesions.

This chapter makes the case that John Locke was influenced by the Pyrrhonian medical tradition, both in his own methods and commitments as a physician, and in the philosophical strategies he employed. Following Sextus Empiricus and other Pyrrhonian physicians, Locke rejects metaphysical accounts of the causal processes underlying diseases and their cures in favor of practical guidelines based on observation and experience. This approach leads Locke to explain madness as an intellectual disorder based on phenomenology and self-report, instead of in terms of the neurological processes posited by his contemporaries. Locke ultimately mobilizes this original account of madness as part of his skeptical attack on innatism, in which, analogous to his employment of Pyrrhonian strategies from cultural diversity, he argues that the commitments of dogmatists might just as well be mad as inborn. The possibility of mad ideas aping certain ones, he suggests, should give the nativist pause.

Introduction:Depression, anxiety and self contempt increase in recent years. A number of these patients, who have chest pain, come or refer to cardiovascular clinic without any cardiovascular or other organic disease. Such patients will be deviated from correct therapeutic way. It seems that demographic factors can affect on psychological disorder of these patients and the cause of their refer to cardiovascular clinic.The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of depression, anxiety and self contempt with demographic factors in cardiovascular clinic referrals in Semnan, IRAN.Materials and methods:In this analytical-descriptive study, data were collected in questionnaire from 400 patients who referred to cardiovascular clinic with chest pain and do not have any cardiovascular or other organic disease and analyzed by t-test, chi-square and men-vitni tests.Results:Of the 400 patients, 55.8% of women, 57.1% of divorced and 60% persons with less than one million RLS income showed light depression. Also, 73% of persons with less than one million RLS income, showed light anxiety, 36.1% of women showed light self contempt and 30.8% of divorced showed moderate self contempt.Discussion:In this study, depression was correlated with sex, divorce and low income, anxiety was correlated only with low income, self contempt was correlated with sex and divorce. Results of this study showed similarity with some studies and differ from other studies. It seems that this difference arises from patient's cultural diversity.
