Psychosurgery

41
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Introduction to Biological Bases of Psychology

3.1K
Biopsychology serves as a vital bridge connecting the intricate domains of biology and psychology, shedding light on how biological systems influence psychological phenomena. This field scrutinizes the biological substrates of behavior and mental processes, emphasizing the nervous system along with the roles of neurotransmitters, hormones, and genetics. It also incorporates evolutionary perspectives to explain the adaptive nature of mental functions.

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder01:29

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

68
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Psychosis: Pathophysiology of Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders01:27

Psychosis: Pathophysiology of Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders

370
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose origins are rooted in complex genetic components. Despite our burgeoning understanding, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains incompletely deciphered.
Researchers have identified genetic factors that increase susceptibility to schizophrenia, underscoring the intricate interplay between genetics and environment in disease development. At the core of schizophrenia's pathophysiology is excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission within...

Area of Science:

  • Transdisciplinary research
  • Mental health studies
  • Human geography

Background:

  • Investigates 'geopsychiatry from below', focusing on lived experiences of mental ill-health related to place and space.
  • Addresses the need to understand how individuals with mental health conditions perceive and interact with their environment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore interdisciplinary literature for academic research on the 'geo' (place and space) from the perspective of lived experience.
  • To identify and analyze existing scholarship and commentary that includes voices of experience regarding the geo.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted an indicative and facilitative review of transdisciplinary literature across arts, humanities, and social sciences.
  • Organized an exploratory workshop to analyze materials, detect relationships, and provisionally map findings.

Main Results:

  • The literature review revealed a fragmented body of work on the 'geo from below', with limited direct inquiry into lived experiences.
  • Developed an outline of prompts for relating 'Kinds of Places', 'Affective Qualities', and actual spaces based on literature and workshop analysis.

Conclusions:

  • This study outlines the potential of 'geopsychiatry from below' as a framework for understanding the relationship between place and mental health.
  • Provides foundational insights for future transdisciplinary research on the geo and mental (ill-)health, emphasizing the importance of lived experience.
