The Bohr Model02:18

The Bohr Model

82.3K
Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as the...

Electron Orbital Model

75.7K
Orbitals are the areas outside of the atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to reside. They are characterized by different energy levels, shapes, and three-dimensional orientations. The location of electrons is described most generally by a shell or principal energy level, then by a subshell within each shell, and finally, by individual orbitals found within the subshells.
The first shell is closest to the nucleus, and it has only one subshell with a single spherical orbital called the...

The Aufbau Principle and Hund's Rule

78.1K
To determine the electron configuration for any particular atom, we can build the structures in the order of atomic numbers. Beginning with hydrogen, and continuing across the periods of the periodic table, we add one proton at a time to the nucleus and one electron to the proper subshell until we have described the electron configurations of all the elements. This procedure is called the aufbau principle, from the German word aufbau (“to build up”). Each added electron occupies the...

Oxygen Transport in the Blood01:27

Oxygen Transport in the Blood

8.0K
Hemoglobin (Hb) is a crucial molecule in the human body, consisting of four polypeptide chains, each bound to an iron-containing heme group. This unique structure enables hemoglobin to bind to oxygen, with each molecule capable of combining with four molecules of oxygen, leading to rapid and reversible oxygen loading. When fully loaded with oxygen, it is called oxyhemoglobin, while hemoglobin that has released oxygen is called reduced hemoglobin or deoxyhemoglobin. As hemoglobin binds oxygen,...

Summary

This study explores Wilfred Bion's concepts of "O" and "K" through the lens of Eihei Dogen's Soto Zen Buddhism. It highlights differences, similarities, and clinical relevance, illustrated with a case example.

Area of Science:

  • Psychoanalysis
  • Buddhist Philosophy
  • Comparative Psychology

Background:

  • Wilfred Bion's psychoanalytic concepts of "O" and "K" offer unique insights into psychic reality.
  • Eihei Dogen's Soto Zen Buddhism provides a radical nondualist perspective.
  • Integrating these distinct frameworks can enrich clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and analyze Bion's "O" and "K" concepts.
  • To explore these concepts through the nondualist lens of Soto Zen Buddhism.
  • To examine the clinical implications of integrating Bionian and Zen perspectives.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of Bion's psychoanalytic theory and Dogen's Zen philosophy.
  • Examination of foundational principles, differences, and similarities.

  • Case study to illustrate theoretical integration in clinical practice.
  • Drawing from Zen teaching stories, Dogen's writings, and contemporary scholarly literature.

    • Main Results:

    • Fundamental differences and surprising similarities between Bion's "O" and "K" and Dogen's nondualist perspective were identified.
    • The integration offers a novel framework for understanding psychic reality and clinical phenomena.
    • The case example demonstrated the practical application of this integrated approach.

    Conclusions:

    • The synthesis of Bion's "O" and "K" with Soto Zen offers a profound and clinically relevant perspective.
    • This interdisciplinary approach enhances the understanding of consciousness and therapeutic processes.
    • Further exploration of this integration holds potential for advancing psychoanalytic and contemplative practices.
