流动人口对结核病相关知识和政策的认知及态度研究

对229例流动人口结核病疑似患者采用问卷调查,开展多次专题小组讨论和个人深入访谈.结果发现,流动人口对结核病相关知识和免费治疗政策了解有限,看法不一.对结核病治疗转归情况有不同程度的担心,且对结核病人持谨慎态度.建议加大流动人口健康教育的力度,以减少对结核病人的社会歧视,并探索建立传染病专项保险制度以提高全国性减免方案的效果.     

结核病控制应加强机构间协作

结核病控制工作是一个需要公共卫生机构与医疗机构密切协作的艰巨任务.然而,长期以来两者之间工作目标的不一致,已经影响了结核病人的转诊和有效管理.从组织学的角度探讨两者之间的关系的现状、现有结核病控制制度的作用有限性和组织创新的必要性,并对建立两者之间良好的关系,促进结核病控制工作提出了建议.     

女性盆腔结核的误诊分析

结核病近年来呈全球性回升趋势.肺结核由于具有比较典型的症状、体征而较易诊断.而肺外结核尤其是女性盆腔腹膜结核,临床表现多样,无特异性诊断指标,误诊误治的情况屡见不鲜.现就女性盆腔结核性包块正确的诊断方法作一综述.     

结核病防治中的人文关怀

结核病的防治不仅仅是公共卫生问题,更是一个社会问题.尽管在现阶段结核病防治中已体现了人文关怀的精神,在今后结核病防治中还需要进一步做到重视社会宣传教育,加强家庭督导作用,强化对流动人口中DOTS策略的实施,力争医疗保险参与防治减轻患者经济负担,研制新疫苗等,从而降低我国疫情,促进构建和谐社会.

妊娠合并结核临床诊治的决策

妊娠合并结核是一种对母婴健康危害极大的妊娠期疾病。在妊娠期结核病中,多数患者无明显症状,早期症状与妊娠期某些生理反应相似,加之妊娠与结核病的相互影响,x线、CT等重要的影像学检查受限,致使本病易被误诊或误治。某些抗结核药物对母婴的不良影响,使其治疗难以实施,由于结核病本身及治疗后可能对胎儿的影响,在临床上是否终止妊娠往往难以决策。本文就妊娠合并结核诊治过程中的相关问题进行综述,以期为临床诊治决策提供帮助。     

牛源性人结核疫源追踪辨析

结核病是一种人畜共患传染病,牛和人是最常见的感染者。牛型分枝杆菌引起的人类结核病,其传染源可以来源于患者,也可以来源于患牛。通过辨析结核病菌感染及诊断防治中的各种复杂因素,对同型不同物种来源的分枝杆菌进行鉴别,以追踪结核病的传染源,从源头上防治结核病。     

结核病直接督导短程化疗策略的伦理学视角

从伦理学角度探讨了结核病直接监督下短程化疗(DOTS)策略以及DOTS策略实施过程中若干问题.DOTS策略被认为是当今结核病诊治和管理的最有效方法,体现了医学伦理学的公益论;尊重病人的选择及隐私是有效控制结核的重要内容,标准化疗方案和个体化疗方案应视病情而定;医务人员应有良好的综合素质.     

特殊人群结核病的流行病学调查

为了了解某监狱犯人中结核病的患病及结核菌耐药情况,为防治提供依据,采用痰检和结核菌素试验的方式对研究对象进行普查,结核分枝杆菌采用罗氏培养,药敏试验采用比例法.结果显示,PPD试验总阳性率为60.54%.痰检发现24例患者,涂阳患病率为898.54/10万.培养菌株总耐药率为95.83%,其中初治耐药率、复治耐药率和多重耐药率分别为87.5%,100%和73.91%.提示该特殊人群结核病患病率高于一般人群.

Together – apart: in touch in a time of separation

This paper explores the experience of working as a Jungian analyst through the various phases of the global COVID-19 pandemic, examining the importance of the physical containing space alongside the analyst’s internal mind and how technology can both help and hinder understanding. A number of clinical vignettes illustrate the challenge of communicating over a distance, paying particular attention to the way countertransference phenomena can become re-attuned. Reference is made to mythology and symbols of hope, and consideration given to the meaning and purpose of the pandemic.     

The Possibility of Meaning in Human Evolution

Science undermines the certitude of non-naturalistic answers to the question of whether human life has meaning. I explore whether evolution can provide a naturalistic basis for existential meaning. Using the work of philosopher Daniel Dennett and scientist Ursula Goodenough, I argue that evolution is the locus of the possibility of meaning because it has produced intentionality, the matrix of consciousness. I conclude that the question of the meaning of human life is an existentialist one: existential meaning is a product of the individual and collective tasks human beings undertake.     

Phenotypic plasticity and archetype: a response to common objections to the biological theory of archetype and instinct

Since Jung’s death in 1961, scholars have attempted to integrate growing biological science data into Jungian concepts such as the collective unconscious, instincts and the archetypes. This enterprise has been challenging due to persistent false dichotomies of gene and environment occasionally arising. Recent works by Roesler (2022a, 2022b) for example, have raised objections to the biological theory of archetypes, but the objections are plagued by such dichotomies. The concept of phenotypic plasticity, however, helps to both avoid this problem as well as bridge the gap between competing theories into a more integrated model with solid biological foundations.     

When is it time to stop? When good enough becomes bad enough

This article draws on Winnicott’s concept of the good enough mother to discuss how to know whether a therapeutic situation is good enough to continue or bad enough to end. This dilemma is explored in terms of clinical syndromes, such as anorexia and pathological gambling, but focuses mainly on analyst-initiated endings, which are termed the ‘Casablanca dilemma’, based on an amplification of the ending of the film Casablanca. The author goes on to discuss such one-sided endings, drawing on interviews with 40 analysts and therapists about their clinical experience. A typology of bad enough endings is presented. The psychological differences between a good enough analysis as opposed to a bad enough one are explored through the ideas of Winnicott and Neumann.     

Kann Es Ein Argument Für Den Skeptizismus Geben? Das Epistemische Problem Der Irrtumsmöglichkeit

Summary  Is there any argument for scepticism? The epistemic problem of the possibility of error. Arguments for scepticism rest on the assumption that knowledge claims are fallible. For this reason the concept of knowledge appears to be questionable. Since it is necessary to distinguish doubts from possible doubts, the arguments for scepticism appear to be unconvincing. If we take it into account that we know something that is immune to doubt, we should draw the conclusion that, contrary to scepticism, knowledge claims have to be compatible with being fallible. Thus any knowledge claim is capable of being doubted.     

The transcendent function in Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus

In August 2020, John Beebe and Steve Myers met via Zoom to discuss their differing interpretations of psychological typology and the different sources within Jung’s writings that influenced their books: Integrity in Depth: Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type (Beebe), and Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation (Myers). The discussion centred on Spitteler’s epic poem Prometheus und Epimetheus, which forms the basis of chapter V of Psychological Types. This is both the largest chapter and one of two chapters that Jung highlighted in the Argentine foreword as containing the essence of the book. Jung’s book is primarily about the transformation of personality rather than the categorization of people. Although it contains a critical psychology that deconstructs the nature of consciousness, that is only one half of the book and a stepping-stone to the other half, which is the reconciliation of opposites with particular emphasis on the relation of consciousness and the unconscious. Jung assumed that readers were already familiar with Prometheus und Epimetheus, an understanding of which sheds light on the nature of the transformation that Jung described – the development of a new attitude towards attitude itself.

Seeing in the Dark: A View into Dissociation and Healing

In this paper, I will explore the role of art-making, the experience of trauma and dissociation, and the process of working with self-states from an analytic and creative frame. Relevant literature on dissociation, trauma, and the use of art will be discussed. A case involving my work with an adolescent girl who had experienced sexual abuse from a family member will be shared, with an emphasis on the meaningful role images played during the therapeutic process. Both Jungian and psychoanalytic models of conceptualizing and working with dissociation are included, following Donald Kalsched’s (2013) recommendation for a “binocular stance” to treatment, including both a focus on the inner, intrapsychic world and the interpersonal, relational realm, and how art images both illuminated and expressed these realms. Within the therapeutic process, art images allowed the therapist a view into the client’s unconscious process, and created a meeting ground for dissociative barriers to be gradually seen, felt and known, by both therapist and client. The experience of dissociation, in images and in session, provided a reference point for myself and my client, Taylor, to develop a shared understanding and a framework for growth.
