ABU NAWAS AL-HASSAN BIN HANI, BETWEEN AL-AKKAD AND AL-NUWEHI, AN APPROACH TO THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL METHOD

Modern Arab theory is based on the evocation of contextual occidental approaches that are out of text. Here, signs of critical modernity began in the reading of traditional Arabic texts, and one of the most important texts around which the readings revolved was the text of Abu Nawas, symbol of textual modernity for Arabs, as demonstrated by Adonis. This research paper seeks to find the balance between the two Arab readings that invoked the psychological approach to enlighten the text of Abu Nawas, the reading of Abbas Mahmoud Al-Akkad marked "Abu Nawas Al-Hassan Bin Hani", which is famous for studying biography and genius in which the personality key was followed as a tool from which it can penetrate into its depth and thought, and the study of Muhammad Al-Nohi’s “The Psychology of Abu Nawas”, which is a unique modern critic in his critical view, began to define literature as «the supreme fruit of the experiences of human life», his study preceded Akkad’s study by nine months, and both were in the same year 1953, This justifies the legitimacy of the balance between them on the one hand, and calls for an examination of the effects of comparison within the Arab critical theory, which has been influenced by Western theories, and which are given by the Freudian incubator. The comparison that the intervention intends to make is descriptive speech (meta critical). As for the problem posed by the research paper, consists in: What are the paradoxes that a single psychological approach poses to the multiplicity of readers and to the unity of the method? Al-Akkad relied on the dictum of narcissism to decompose Abu Nawas’s personality, and psychologists took this word (narcissism) to denote the associated bodily discomfort and sexual lust, and to signify a person’s infatuation with his body and desire for sexual lust, he feels like an image of himself, which completes his composition and all the imperfections he feels, according to Shawqi Deif. Based on the complex of narcissism, Al-Akkad explained the manifestations of the complex in what was called Autoimmune and self-envy, while Al-Noaihi went to the complex of Oedipus and inferred it with textual evidence under the name: the sexual replacement of a mother with wine and the sublimation expressed in the poetic work. We note here that the Arab critical theory stopped with these two writers, and that it did not use the developments of the psychological structural approach as presented by Jacque Lacan, his works not yet being translated into Arabic ‎.

COGNITIVE SELF-REGULATION STRATEGIES AND RESILIENCE IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Background: Medical, economic, socio-demographic, psychological consequences of T2DM justify the need for the development of an interdisciplinary program of clinical and psychological support of patients with T2DM. Aim. This paper aims to study cognitive self-regulation strategies and resilience in patients with T2DM taking into account the duration of the disease, its perception as a severe threat, as well as analysis of the correlation between cognitive self-regulation strategies and resilience components, to clarify the targets of psychotherapeutic interventions in T2DM patients. Materials and methods: An experimental study has been conducted. The study involved 30 patients with a clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (ICD-10 code E11). The clinical psychological method has been used in the study namely psychodiagnostic (controlled, partially standardized) interview and the analysis of medical documentation. The experimental psychological method involves the use of psychodiagnostic techniques: the Adult’s Resilience test, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, the Cognitive Representations of Illness Questionnaire, the Types of Attitude toward Disease technique. For statistical analysis, the following methods have been used: descriptive statistics, comparative statistics (Mann–Whitney criteria, Spearman's rank correlation method). All calculations were performed using the StatSoft STATISTICA 10.0 software package for Windows. Results. It has been revealed that the cognitive representation transforms according to the disease duration and its perception as a severe threat. In T2DM patients, the structural organization of resilience alters with increasing duration of disease. Components of resilience (persistence, self-efficacy, internal locus of control, family and social relationships, spirituality) contribute to cognitive reappraisal of the aversive nature of T2DM. The targets of psychotherapeutic interventions in patients with T2DM are reduction of helplessness-hopelessness construct and an increase of acceptance cognition; transformations of the structure of cognitive representations and cognitive reappraisal strategies occur through increasing links with the components of resilience. Conclusion: cognitive representations about T2DM and components of resilience transform in patients as the disease develops. With an increase in the duration of T2DM, the cognitive helplessness construct remains stable. It has been found that groups of patients with a perception of T2DM as a severe and moderate threat significantly differ both in the components of cognitive perceptions and in the valence of cognitive reevaluation. The targets of psychotherapeutic interventions in patients with type 2 diabetes are formulated.

Beyond a Dream: The Practical Foundations of Disconnected Psychology

Disconnected psychology is a form of psychological science in which researchers ground their work upon the main principles of psychological method but are detached from a “field” consisting of other psychologists that comprises connected psychology. It has previously been proposed that combining the two forms of psychology would result in the most significant advancement of psychological knowledge (Krpan, 2020). However, disconnected psychology may seem to be a “utopian” idea rather than a realistic endeavor. The present article therefore sets the practical foundations of disconnected psychology. In this regard, I first describe a hypothetical disconnected psychologist and discuss relevant methodological and epistemological implications. I then propose how this variant of psychology could be integrated with the current academic system (i.e., with connected psychology). Overall, the present article transforms disconnected psychology from a dream into substance that could eventually maximize psychological knowledge.

Unburdening the Shoulders of Giants: A Quest for Disconnected Academic Psychology

In current academic psychology, scholars typically develop their research and ideas by drawing on the work of other contemporary and preceding psychological scientists and by following certain conventions of the field. I refer to this variant of psychology as connected because the emphasis is on connecting various research findings and ideas generated by different scholars (e.g., by showing how they are related to each other via referencing). In this article, I argue that, although connected psychology advances psychological knowledge, it restricts the total amount of knowledge that could eventually be produced and therefore limits the potential of the discipline to improve the understanding of psychological phenomena. As a solution, I propose that, alongside the currently existing connected psychology, disconnected psychology should be established. In disconnected psychology, researchers develop their ideas by following the main principles of psychological method, but they are disconnected from a “field” consisting of other psychologists and therefore do not follow the discipline’s norms and conventions. By drawing on one of the core constructs from information theory—information entropy—I argue that combining the two streams of psychology would result in the most significant advancement of psychological knowledge.

Personalistic intention in European theism of the XIX century

The subject of this research is the personalistic intention in European theism of the XIX century in the context of anthropological turn. The article examines such trends of European theism of the XIX century as German post-Hegelian theism, French spiritualism, Spanish theism introduced by Unamuno, Russian spiritual-academic theism. It is demonstrated that the European theism of the XIX century as a philosophy of the period of anthropological turn is characterized with personalism: interpretation of personality as an individual substance in the context of its dialogical and value aspects; a more existential interpretation of personality was possible. Special attention is paid to the essence of anthropological turn and personalism in its context. Anthropological turn is viewed in light of Heidegger’s philosophy as structuring philosophy on the basis of natural sciences and psychology. It means that the human Self becomes individually substantial, and acquires psychological, dialogical and value dimensions. The philosophy of European theism of the XIX century is examines in this context, however, emphasis is made on explanation of personalism as a reflection of personality as an individual substance through researching the conditions of being and conditions for-self-being, and meaning of any being for other creatures. The scientific novelty consists in viewing personalistic intention on European theism of the XIX century in the context of anthropological turn, as well as in substantiation of the existence of personalistically oriented trend in European theism of the XIX century, which was represented by Lotze, Teichmüller, and Russian spiritual-academic theists. Maine de Biran and Bergson, who dedicated major attention to psychological method, did not substantiate personalism.

Psychological intention in European theism of the XIX century

The subject of this research is the psychological intention in the European theism of the XIX century in the context of anthropological turn. The author examines such trends of European theism of the XIX century as German post-Hegelian theism, French and Italian spiritualism, Russian spiritual-academic theism. It is demonstrated the European theism of the XIX century as a philosophy of that time of anthropological pivot mats psychologism as a transition towards individual-substantial (psychological) Self with dialogical intention, and establishment of philosophy on the psychological foundation. Particular attention is given to the essence of anthropological turn and psychologism in its context. Anthropological turn is interpreted as a transition of metaphysical into anthropology in the vein of Heidegger’s philosophy. This transition means that philosophy is structured upon the basis of natural sciences and psychology, human Self and its reflection lose the ontological character, but it becomes individually-substantial and obtains dialogical intention. The philosophy of European theism of the XIX century is viewed in this context; however, special attention is dedicated to the establishment of philosophy on psychological foundation, transition from the individually-substantial Self and problem of its reflection. The novelty consists in examination of psychological intention of European theism of the XIX century within the framework of anthropological turn, as well as substantiation of presence of the psychologically oriented trend in terms of this philosophy. To the representatives of psychological oriented direction of European theism of the XIX century can be attributed such French spiritualists as Maine de Biran, Cousin, Jouffroy, Ravaisson-Mollien, whose works resemble the psychological method of the similar to their views Italian spiritualist Galupppi, French neo-spiritualist Bergson, German post-Hegelian theist Fechner, whose doctrine was structures on psychophysical foundation.

Psychotherapist/Dramatherapist, 10 years’ experience, Greece

This chapter describes the experience of a Psychotherapist/Dramatherapist when working in a Neuropsychiatry department. It was there that the Psychotherapist met patients with Conversion Disorder for the first time and worked with them and others who were undergoing video-EEG monitoring for unexplained attacks, fits, or seizures. These experiences, among many others, have gradually led the Psychotherapist to create “Metamyth,” a psychological method uniquely suitable for the treatment of people with epilepsy. Metamyth for people with Non-Epileptic Seizures (NES) adopts a different approach to that used with epilepsy. As a holistic approach, Metamyth is interested in the mind, body, soul and intuition, and communication. Considerable patience is needed to understand the complexity of each patient with NES and for the diagnosis to reveal itself over time.
