Whenever you spot a disconnect between what your gut is telling you and what is supposed to be rational, it’s an important opportunity to understand something new. And then you can start this game of back-and-forth. Can you articulate your gut instinct and place it within a rational discussion? If there’s still a disconnect, can you visualize why? As you play that game, your imagination will gradually reconfigure. And in the end, if you’re persistent, your instinct and your reason will align, and you will be smarter. This is mathematical thinking.

When you are memorizing a poem, a similar kind of noticing begins at the level of form.

You dissect the poem to graft it into yourself; in the process, its meanings become not objects to be discovered over there, on the page, like birds on a branch, but instead found here, within you, where the tree takes root.

I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you …

ميثاق شرف للأطباء النفسيين

مقدمة: لما كنت مهنة الطب النفسى تتميز بسمات دقيقة، و ظروف متشعبة بعيدة عن الوضوح المباشر، رأينا أن نبدأ هذا الميثاق بعرض هذه الظروف التى تبرر وضع ميثاق خاص (بالاضافة الى لائحة آداب المهنة) لتقنين و توجيه الزملاء فى ممارستهم هذه المهنة الكريمة و السامية فى هذه المنطقة الشائكة و فى هذه الظروف الخاصة لهذه المهنة ما يلى:

1- ان الافكار و النظريات و الفروض العلمية، التى تبنى عليها الممارسة العملية، لها جذور و نظريات مختلفة بهذا الفرع فى كل أنحاء العالم و بديهى ان اختلاف النظريات ، يترتب عليه اختلاف التطبيق و الممارسة..

2- أن هذه المهنة مختلطة ( فى اذهان العامة و بعض المختصين من الزملاء الأطباء) مع تخصصات أخرى ليست بالضرورة الطبية، مثل ممارسة التحليل النفسى و الإرشاد النفسى و ما إلى ذلك …

Editorial arguing for relaxing the monitoring criteria.

Juliano Moreira may have been a case of ‘exceptional racism’, which is a disguised, perhaps refined form of structural racism. We propose to call ‘exceptional racism’ the strategy of socially and institutionally praising outstanding people (persons who are exceptions, extraordinary personalities) from oppressed groups as a way of denying or covering up racism on ideological and political grounds. Such strategies imply an overt, often disproportional, overvaluation of talents as exceptions.

Research-active clinical organisations are shown to deliver better outcomes and better care, with improved staff recruitment and retention and enhanced morale.6 Instinctively, these are the places we seek out when we need treatment for ourselves or our loved ones. Some psychiatric and mental health services have begun to incorporate protected research and/or education time into job plans, recognising that this is advantageous for enhancing clinical care and training, recruitment and retention.
