Ever wondered why sitting through psychiatry lectures feels like time traveling back to the Freudian era? 🕰️ Here's the scoop: traditional psychiatry education is stuck in a time warp, ignoring the brilliant chaos of the human mind. We're in an era of brain scans and digital therapy, yet our textbooks haven't caught up. Imagine learning to fly a spaceship with a manual for a horse-drawn carriage. Let's push for an update, shall we? Time to evolve our minds by evolving our education. Who's in for a curriculum revolution? Share your thoughts and let's spark change together!

If you are interested in leadership, coaching and psychology topics, this book written by a psychiatry professor and researcher is an excellent book (published 2024).

One would want to be a fairly tough nut, not to be moved by the way the psychiatrist lays out his stall. I am not a psychiatrist but am profoundly aware of how psychological discourses have come2replace the dominant conventions and norms, that shaped our dispositions, traits and attitudinal complexes in a prior era. For over five decades now, I have directly witnessed, been impacted&been educated/re-educated in these developments in multiple ways. The success of psych explanations, in a relatively short time period, is a phenomenal success story in cultural appropriation, involving a mission alignment of significant sector, for creating recognisability/intelligibility-centrality of social transmission belts via multiple communicative transfers. Christopher Palmer does not shy away from the recognition that these fundamental shifts in public understanding of 'health' have had, and can have bad infinity implications. My own sense is that the assimilation&the multiple accommodations, generates significant demand, often with unexpected outcomes. Eg https://lnkd.in/e4CVBTy7 https://lnkd.in/eq_96U8p. I would add since the 1980s, both the renewed rise of the 'moral' majority' often combined with many 'evidence based treatments' can be charged with inhibited awareness, where our research interests for understanding what drives demand for health, exhibits a more general supply/demand dynamics, hollowed out reasoning-over-concentration of key reinforcers as saviours-over complex research designs4deducing how4example, social inequality is linked2metabolic brain structures of over-excitability or inhibited dynamics. An interesting political example is the choice of the US Vice President Kamala Harris has made as her running mate Tim Walz Walz is the first vice presidential candidate on a Democratic ticket since 1964, who did not attend law school. "Since the 1970s, Nelson Lichtenstein states the "class content of American Liberalism" has undergone a profound shift," with college-educated professionals displacing wage workers as a chief constituency of the Democratic Party. In the course of this time period, the main thrust of liberalism, Thomas Piketty explains, has turned from "improving the lot of the disadvantaged"2serving the interests"of an educated elite. Alicia Juarrrero 2023 says "constraints, bring about effects as well&constraints enable the emergence of coherence-coherence is induced by enabling constraints, not forceful causes, and the resulting coherence is then maintained by constitutive constraints. Constitutive constraints, in turn, become governing constraints that regulate and modulate the way coherent entities behave" Homeostasis is a term relating2metabolic processes, when we are coherent interpreters of best science communication?

The research confirms: PLAY IS LEARNING! ⭐️ According to research, learning happens best when: ⭐️ children are active with “minds on” rather than passively sitting for long periods of time; ⭐️ they are engaged; ⭐️ the information is meaningful; ⭐️ they are socially interacting; ⭐️ the learning is “iterative” (repeated in varied contexts); ⭐️ they are having fun! Read the whole article from Jean Clinton, Clinical Professor, Psychiatry, McMaster University on how play is learning, and why play is critical for children's well-being ➡ https://lnkd.in/eRNSan4q
