The Application Of Elephant Thinking In The Diagnosis And Treatment Of Insomnia

BackgroundCognitive science is undergoing a revolution,in which many theories and experiments have demonstrated the unity of body and mind,subject and object,sensibility and reason.Image thinking is considered to be the characteristic thinking of Chinese medicine.The research on the application of image thinking in Chinese medicine involves philosophy,language and thinking frame.Its research covers most of the field of Chinese medicine,and there are some interdisciplinary research and innovative treatment.Insomnia is the most common psychosomatic disease.Chinese medicine sees insomnia in different perspectives,leading to different therapies,but the effects are certain.Among the therapy there are taking herbs,external treatment and behavior and psychological therapy.Thought Induction Psychotherapy under low-resistance state(TIP)is derived from the innovation form of traditional Chinese medicine,of which drugs and other physical and chemical means are unnecessary in healing insomnia,and it shows effect rapidly and effectively,forming a standardized medical system.The author focuses on the clinical and application of the image thinking,starting from the treatment of insomnia,using literature research and qualitative research methods,to try to explore the way of image thinking,namely the existence of the thinking(that is,image thinking things methods,the influencing factors,and the reaction to the human body),how did it form and why did it development,and its relationship with the psychosomatic disease,so as to explain the principles of TIP therapy,as well as why different Chinese medicine treatment can be effective.Theoretical ResearchImage thinking is under the guidance of a philosophical thought of heart and body as a whole,which is a way of thinking starts from and take advantages of presentation to carry out awareness and other thinking operations,and fundamentally based on the concept of physical sense to express.Under the influence of agricultural life style,Chinese thinking habit and general ideology,the systematic thinking has been fully developed and consolidated,and becomes the core method of Chinese understanding of things.From the perspective of clinical application,image thinking in TCM includes two aspects,image(yixiang)thinking and figurative thinking,namely,physical participation in thinking and thinking leads the body.Mind is shaped by physical sensibility and the body is also shaped by cognitive activity,and the two formed a dynamic process.Mind and body as a whole is one of the guiding ideologies of Chinese medicine,so in Chinese medicine all the diseases are regarded as psychosomatic problems,but described as the qi-xue chaos.Emotions are dominated by heart,and come out of the five zang,which have a direct effect on the functions of the zang.The normal function of the five internal organs have their specific direction of movement,therefore,the diagnosis is based on various appearance,so as to find the factors that can bring these changes in blood,and according to a certain system to determine,including the meridian,six jing,five zang,qi-xue,in which"rule of the very one" is to find the cause on Shen level,the ultimate reason.Chinese medicine treatments are different,but the principle is the same,by regulating the conditioning of qi-xue to a balance.The diagnosis process belongs to the image thinking,people are rational from the presentation by generalization,judgment,confirmation and deepening.High-level figurative thinking is capable to achieve the change in sense,so you can use this to improve the effectiveness of treatment.Qualitative ResearchObjective:To explore the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine on the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia and the reasons for the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine theory and thus to provide more subtle insights to the theory and practice of TCM.The core issue:how to apply the psychological effect of image thinking in healing insomnia?Specific questions:What are the experiences of patients with insomnia?How are they formed?What is the relationship with insomnia?Are there any factors that affect these processes?Why can TIP be effective?Methods:Researchers observed and interview the patients in the Guang'anmen Hospital Psychology Department,sleep medicine outpatient clinics and the Beijing Guang'an Institute of Chinese Medicine Psychology,and interview them based on WIIQ and do case studies using qualitative research.The object should used TIP to treat insomnia and had sought other treatments,including western medicine,traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture;the participants are mind-memory normal;have complete Chinese expression and be voluntary to participate in this study.Researchers will use transcripts and field observations to encode and qualitatively analyze Atlas.ti,which,based on a comprehensive grasp of the information,identifies the parts that are meaningful for insomnia and cures a series of categories and themes,and the key aspects of the statement to carry out sophisticated analytical analysis,the establishment of theoretical framework,and finally returned to the patient to verify.Results:Knowledge,expectation,depression(anger),anxiety,trauma,terror,controlling are the common themes of these insomnia patients.Image thinking is an experiential way of thinking,with the ability to approach,lead,and reflect the nature of things.However,by the influence of various subjective and objective factors,appearances in the process of approaching and leading to the nature of things will be different from the nature of things.At the same time,as image thinking has effect on the body,making the source of psychosomatic diseases.Image thinking can produce physiological effects immediately,but visual,sensory symptoms may be delayed,because there is depression and shielding effect.Conclusion:Valuing and taking advantages of the feeling are the key to the successful treatment of psychosomatic diseases such as insomnia by TIP therapy.
