A Research The Psychiatry Theories Of Rumen Shigin In Using Approach On Mental Health In Hong Kong

In the modern world,we have experienced with metropolitan city life and highly industrialize economy growth.The fast living pace caused stress.The individualism is a kind of by product in this modern era.People can't help each other to solve their psychological problems.That is the main reason to cause people's psychological imbalance in the western world.Psychics or psychology is a special topic in western medicine.The Chinese medicine specialists also established a certain attention on the subject in the recent years as well.However,the TCM psychology only maintains as a regular course in the undergraduate syllabus.In Hong Kong under the Basic Law,Chinese medicine received a legal statue 10 years ago.There are very restrictive guidelines on differential the practicing of TCM and western medicine.The local TCM has been planned to develop as a family medicine service to the community on the frontline.As our society structure have rapid changed in the recent years,mental health would also be a major social issue at the same time.In response to these social needs,TCM professions would see a great opportunity in develop their specialties service to the society.The theory of unifying human and environment from the ancient literature of "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic"(黄帝内經)let the Chinese medicine professions have a better understanding of human behaviors.The five emotions match with five elements and five organs which can cross affect each other as pathogenic factors and psychology illness. It is practically worth noting that in Jin(金) and Yuan(元) Dynasties,one of the four famous physicians Zhang CongZhen(张从正)intergrated Chinese medical theories and human behaviors to create a brand new and effective psychological treatment.Zhang CongZhen also known as a representative clinical practitioner in the field of psychology during the ancient period of time.Most of Zhang's theories are covered by his main works Rumen Shigin《儒门事亲》.It is a famous and valuable literature for examining the Chinese medicine psychology thoughts.Chinese medicine scholars reviewed almost all Zhang's literatures and conferences concluded that due to the public prefer for invigoration than purgation,the purgation is a kind of philosophy which is tough to promote.However,this thesis conducted a complete review the clinical psychology cases of Rumen Shigin.The findings stated that the purgation therapy is a valuable in the treatment of psychological illness with providing a great inspiration to further study.There are four sections in this research.The first section contains two parts discussion. Zhang Congzheng is the author of Chinese medicinal literature Rumen Shigin.In the first part we analysis the author background base from the aspects of historical,cultural and philosophical.Zhang Congzheng was live in a wartime era but stable in the political environments.At that time intellects were respected by the government.Economy and technology have been great improvement.It make a better circumstance for the development of medicine knowledge and services.According to the cultural development, the general thinking and Chinese medicine philosophy was impact by the Confucius' humanities thought.Confucius' social philosophy largely revolves around the concept of Ren"仁","compassion" or "loving others." The Confusian scholars cltivating or practicing such concern for others"仁術" when they change their profession from scholar to medicine practitioner.When Zhang suffer from downward of his career,he apparently becomes a Taoism believer.However,most of the researchers would recognize Zhang as a Confusian believer than a Taoism scholar.In this paper,we have a special topic to discuss some of Zhang's works actually are root from Taoism.The second part of the first section review Zhang specialty on using the methods of sweating,vomiting,and purging therapy in clinical practicing.He created an idea of nine qi (力氣)and five obstacles(五積)from The Yellow Emperor's Classic theories of five elements(五行),five expressions of emotions(五志)and seven mode of emotions(七情) as well.The idea also support Zhang to develop a new Chinese medicine psychological therapy.The emerging of human and heaven is the central theme of Zhang's works.In the conservative ancient's society,people prefer the warmish and nourish health care services than the purgation methods.New ideas are difficult to gain support from the general public in the old days.Zhang was praised in overcoming such Challenges with a strong mind and solid personality.This may be the best resources for Zhang to become the pioneer of clinical psychologist in the field of Chinese medicine.The second section of this research is look into the over 200 clinical cases of Chinese medicine literature Rumen Shigin.We are focusing only on the 23 psychological illness cases.Those cases have been analysis from its information of symptoms,therapy, decoctions and medicine.Since there are a significant negative side effects in using of the vomiting method,we have found that the purgation method is the most popular and effective therapy in curing the psychological health problems in Zhang's clinical practising. Zhang also is expertise in using the non-medicine psychological therapy for the mental patients.It is apparently an innovative clinical invention in the history of medicine world. Despite its limitations,Zhang's clinical psychological theories has provided a rich body of information on some fundamental areas for further study.The third section of this research contains three parts.Part one is review psychology as a kind of academic profession and how did it develop in the modern China.Mental health is the top burden in our nation's health care system.Chairman Wu has announced some guidelines on mental health promotion campaign.Those guidelines called eight honor and eight shame(八榮八恥).These descriptive guidelines presented benchmark information on the physical and mental health of the population,prevalence of major moral problems and socialism lifestyle practices,constructive socialism promotion,as well as life attitudes taken by citizens in a socialism society.In the early 80's of last century,the Chinese medicine professions review its role in the psychology academic field.Psychology in Chinese medicine conferences have been held and research papers have been published. Part two focus on the issue of the west meet east in the field of psychology.The postmodernism supporters are suggested a new trend that the traditional Chinese medicine should be integrate and play an active role in the mainstream psychology academic world. With increasing economic integration and social interactions between Hong Kong and Mainland China,in the third part we have figures to prove cross-border marriages is a significant social phenomenon in recent years.It was also found that Hong Kong grooms often married much younger brides due to their own delayed marriages and second plus marriages.In this case,lots of social and economic problems have been increased substantially among those cross border marriage families.One of the major issue is psychiatric disorder that occurs in those marriage couples have been caused many bloody tragedies as a result.
