"doctors Who Intended To" Psychology Research

Transformations of consciousness shed light upon deeper medicines. There have been plenty of researches on the connections between consciousness and healing, both in body-mind medicine and in basic science, philosophy of medicine etc---different levels of consciousness, different understandings of medicines, from classical medicine to modern medicine and toward postmodern integral medicine. In literature of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a phrase is repeatedly cited, Yi Zhe Yi Ye, literally means"Medicine can be defined by consciousness". In different contexts, this phrase embodies different connotations, accordingly, different levels of consciousness and different medicines. TCM is not one, but many in one.What I intend to do is: a) to clarify the different levels of TCM according to the different meanings of Yi Zhe Yi Ye; b) to compare the holoarchy of TCM with classic, modern and post-modern medicines in the west; c) to bring forth a recommendation on postmodern integral medicine that draw resources from both TCMs and west medicines. Both"TCM"and"West Medicine"have been long misused as ONE, which is not true---they both are many-in-one. Touch the one, we behold the many; lost in the many, we miss the one.To accomplish my aim, I will do three different but consequential researches:First, pick out the citations of Yi Zhe Yi Ye and related discussions on Yi (consciousness) from TCM classics and interpret them in cotemporary language. In Huangdi Neijing (Inner Classic of Yellow Emperor), there are categorizations of different levels of consciousness, seem to be clear literally, but further interpretations through subjective transformations are needed before one can truly understand them. They are De, Qi, Sheng, Jing, Shen(before birth), and Shen, Hun, Po, Yi, Zhi (after birth).Second, survey the history of Western Medicines and get a glimpse of the evolution of consciousness. According to Laurence Foss, the transformations of consciousness in western medicines range from rational body, to biological body, to social-culturally constructed body and to post-modern body. A comparative research between west and east will help get a wider thus deeper understanding of medicine.Third, with the deeper understanding of morbidity and mortality I intended to propose a deeper medicine from the theoretical level,"postmodern integral medicine". This concept is not my invention, while I contribute my peculiar interpretation and construction. This"medicine", likely to be too aloof and abstracted, is beyond model changes, though fully respects them."It" concerns the future institution (we) and education (it) and acculturation (I) of medicine.To conclude, the thesis is to deepen the understanding of contemporary medicine through comparison between different perspectives on consciousness transformation.
