Medically unexplained physical symptoms

I am away for a short holiday. Therefore I am bit lazy with writing. 😉

I hope you can understand this.

Yesterday I got an email from Wentian who will join a researchmeeting in China on the following issue, which I really find interesting.

As soon as I am home I will write a bit more about this issue from the western point of view. And I hope I will get some more information from Wentian.

German-Chinese Academy for Psychotherapy

When reflecting the West-East-Integration I often think of my experience of the DCAP congress in May 2011 in Heidelberg / Germany. The issue of this congress was “body & soul – concepts in East and West”. It was a very intensive experience to listen to all the collegues froim Germany and China. It was also emotionally moving and personally impressive……….

language is not language

this morning a professor of philosophy critizised scientific language in an interview. The different sciences produce their own languages. This is understable concerning the field they are engaged in. This is understable regarding the various specialized issues they are busy with. This is understable because each science lives so to say in it´s own field, in it´ s own sphere.  And this is understable because each social or scientific field needs to have it´s own language to communicate more easily and more quickly.

On the one hand one could talk about the school system and the relevance to what learning means and how learning functions. On the other hand I would say something about what is happening to the body and the inner self of the students when they they do so……………………..

mysterious look in the face

Often we in Germany think that it is very difficult to see any facial expression in a Chinese face. All faces seem to look the same. Therefore we don´t have a good emotional orientation how to address this person, how to communicate and what to expect from this person. But to have such an emotional orientation is useful and of course necessary for contact and communicating. And for understanding each other.

On the other hand we in Germany often think……………………

.Inspired by the way how Chinese move….

……………….well it feels like starting to write an article and sitting in front of the blanc sheet of paper. In mind every word is already prepared but it has to be written down.

I started this group because I came into contact with some Chinese and experienced them moving in a different way than many Germans do. Or nonverbally communicating in a way I did not feel familiar with, though the relationship was friendly and open enough. I became interested in what happened and of course how to respond. —– 

I also visited a very interesting………………..
