Ideas
... am curious about a kind of ecology of language / symbolizing (primatologically-informed) approach from a psychotherapeutic / psychiatric perspective (for example, what the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School would teach its MDs) to family dynamics, individual therapy and clinical practice at World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Psychiatry - and http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Psychotherapy - as new approaches in these fields.

Now

Re-evaluation Counseling, Virtually

Organize an avatar-mediated-communication re-evaluation counseling group, or one-to-one, in a virtual world, like Second Life, here through World University and School - see Harvey Jackins' "Re-evaluation counseling" below.

Anger

Weil MD, Andrew. 2010. Managing Stress. drweil.com

Anxiety

Weil MD, Andrew. 2010. Generalized Anxiety Disorder. drweil.com

Depression

Weil MD, Andrew. 2010. Natural Depression Treatment. drweil.com

Diet

5-9 servings of fruit, grains, vegetables, beans and 2 eggs per day?

Exercise

Exercise (30 mins. of walking; Yoga poses? - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga ; Contact Improvisation? - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Contact_Improvisation)

Loneliness

Re-evaluation counseling in Second Life. (Someone will need to orchestrate this, - e.g. see the Re-evaluation Counseling web site below, as one approach. It's easy to start now).

Psychiatry

Seeing and talking with a psychiatrist can be a very sensible thing to do.

Psychodynamic Theory

Psychodynamic therapy works with interactive dynamics, explicitly.

Psychodynamic Theory vis-a-vis primates and concepts of ecology

John Money's Concepts of Determinism, as a start?

See Vaillant below in videos.

Relaxation Response

Benson MD, Herbert. 1972. The Relaxation Response. relaxationresponse.org/steps/

Rough Day?

Did you get ... 8-11 hours of sleep?, 5-9 servings of fruits, grains, vegetables and grains?, an egg or two?, 30 minutes of dancing/walking/movement?, Flax seed oil for omega fatty acids?, Antioxidants (See Dr. Andy Weil's "What's So Special About Antioxidants?" - http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400535/Whats-So-Special-About-Antioxidants.html)?, Ginseng (Yogi tea?) for vitality (See Dr. Andy Weil's "Fighting Fatigue" - http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400057/Fighting-Fatigue.html)?, a multivitamin? Think improving bodymind neurophysiology as a basis.

Science and Psychotherapy

Self Healing

Piver, Susan. 2010. The Self-Healing Benefits of Meditation. drweil.com

Sleep

8-11 hours of sleep per night while in psychotherapy?

Talking

Learn to talk in new ways about what is challenging you, with someone skilled in listening and problem-solving like a psychotherapist, and/or mutually with a re-evaluation counselor, virtually - and for free. (If you'd like to start this, or organize this, let WUaS know at the email address on the WUaS front page). See this WUaS page for re-evaluation counseling.

Allow language to become central to understanding and communicating for your bodymind.



I'm curious both about an 'ecology of attention,' (where ecology refers to what is examined in, for example, this textbook: Elements of Ecology (8th Edition)) with implications for psychiatry, psychology, as well as psychotherapy, within the family in particular, as well as an ecology of sociocultural processes, such as, for example, the effects of Quaker socioculture, as one of millions of 'sociocultural processes' and their effects, in modernity, - on neurophysiology, and, in terms of 'troopbondage' (see John Money 1988) - vis-a-vis other groups (e.g. city hall folks in S.F., tourists, GLBTQ, the Chinese American community, homeless people, musical groups, etc., as human primates), - both of which may make interesting, WUaS, wiki, Subject pages in the future.
