PELAYANAN PASTORAL YANG MELIBATKAN TUBUH: INTEGRASI ANTARA KATA DAN TUBUH

This paper proposes an integrated pastoral service model. I begin with a fundamental question, what kind of pastoral care is right for people who are traumatized? Pastoral care with the dimension of voice and words will certainly be very difficult for those who are unable to speak their wound experience. Because, trauma causes someone's memory and life to be fragmented, making it difficult for them to be open and tell stories. Therefore, integrated pastoral care between verbatim and psycho-physiotherapy can be an alternative for counselors dealing with those who have experienced trauma. This paper will begin with the reality of the wound that does not always allow anyone to speak verbally. Next, I will frame pastoral care which involves anesthetic-therapeutic dimension as an alternative. Finally, this paper will conclude with conclusions and reflections.

Atmospheres and the Clinical Encounter

Atmospheres in the clinical encounter are intersubjective phenomena experienced by the participants in that situation. In this chapter we will first unveil essential aspects of the ontology and the phenomenology of atmospheres and their role in the process of understanding. We will suggest a specific attitude during the psychiatric interview that allows the assessment of these phenomena, which we coin fragile understanding, relying on the pre-reflective domains of experience. We conclude that the training of psychiatrists in this kind of understanding might have important implications in the extension of the science of psychopathology, adding to the accuracy of diagnosis and enhancing the therapeutic dimension of the psychiatric interview.

Regenerative peripheral neuropathic pain: novel pathological pain, new therapeutic dimension

After peripheral nerve damage, injured or stressed primary sensory neurons (PSNs) transmitting pathological pain (pathopain) sensitize central nervous system (CNS) neural circuits and determine behavioral phenotypes of peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP). Therefore, phenotypic profiling of pathopain-transmitting PSNs is vital for probing and discovering PNP conditions. Following peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs), PNP might be potentially transmitted by distinct classes of damaged or stressed PSNs, such as axotomized PSNs without regeneration (axotomy-non-regenerative neurons), axotomized PSNs with accurate regeneration (axotomy-regenerative neurons), and spared intact PSNs adjacent to axotomized neurons (axotomy-spared neurons). Both axotomy-non-regenerative neurons and axotomy-spared neurons have been definitely shown to participate in specific PNP transmission. However, whether axotomy-regenerative neurons could transmit PNP with unique features has remained unclear. Recent studies in rodent models of axonotmesis have clearly demonstrated that axotomy-regenerative neurons alone transmit persistent pathological pain with unique behavioral phenotypes. In this review, we exclusively review this novel category of PNP, reasonably term it ‘regenerative peripheral neuropathic pain’, and finally discuss its potential clinical significance as a new therapeutic dimension for PNIs beyond nerve regeneration.

Accounts of self-gift giving: nature, context and emotions

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a contextualized view of participants’ accounts of self-gift consumer behaviour (SGCB) throughout the consumption cycle, from the motivations to the emotions that follow. Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses an interpretive approach, focused on participants’ constructions of meanings, using 99 critical incident technique interviews, which followed 16 in-depth interviews. Findings – This paper identifies the following self-gift motivations: To Reward Myself (and Others); To celebrate; To remember or get closer; To forget or part; To feel loved or cheered up; and To enjoy life. It also uncovers a compensatory/therapeutic dimension in most self-gifts. The authors identify changes in emotional responses to SGCB over time, and suggest a relationship between these emotions and the contexts that drive self-gifts. Self-gifts are conceptualized as pleasure-oriented, symbolic and special consumption experiences, which are self-directed, or both self- and others-directed; perceived by the consumer to be justified by the contexts in which they occur; and driven and followed by context-dependent emotions. Originality/value – This manuscript offers novel insights into participants’ uses of both SGCB and the act of labelling purchases “self-gifts”. It uncovers how consumers are concerned with accounting for indulgent spending and how this problematizes the concept of “self-gift”. It challenges the idea of a single context for SGCB, showing how interacting motivations explain it. It also introduces a temporal dimension to self-gift theory by considering emotional responses at different times. Finally, it offers a new conceptualization of and theoretical framework for SGCB.

Philosophy and war: Hegel’s therapeutic movement of the spirit

In addition to Axel Honneth?s thesis on the therapeutic function of the concept of ethical life in Hegel?s philosophy, I want to underline two moments which, to my mind, show Hegel?s views on the therapeutic dimension of both philosophy and the war against the pathology of civil society more clearly. In this context, (a) philosophy performs a corrective function by fostering the individual?s virtue conceived as an ethical duty of care both for oneself and for others. The main aim of Hegel?s practical philosophy is hence to return the individual from abstract subjective concepts to his concrete everyday intersubjective practices, and to show him the way to understand himself and the social world as originally related to each other; (b) one of the main problems for the moral development of individuals consists in their propensity to perceive the good in particularist and selfish terms: in this context events such as natural disasters or wars can be seen as performing a therapeutic function by teaching individuals to view the good in more principled and general terms.
