Childbirth does not hurt?

While there have always been attempts since to have an easy birth, no comprehensive methods have been developed to help nearly half of this century. The idea arose in the minds of the English physician Read served as a birth that, despite living in extremely precarious conditions, stating that "the confinement was not harm".

The women of this, of course, passed without the slightest problem, and this rare experience led to believe that Read only fear is the culprit of pain.
Fear creates muscle tension, and this pain. The suffering caused more fear, and fear more tension.

At the beginning of this vicious circle there is nothing more than a series of negative emotions. Read developed some techniques to overcome fear through explanatory talks about childbirth and relaxation.

At the same time, more or less, the Russians Platanov, Nicolaiev and Velvoski began using hypnosis to achieve painless childbirth. With the passage of time and would prefer to abandon this line to inform pregnant women about the whole process of childbirth. This aimed to eliminate their fears and negative perceptions and create positive conditioned reflexes. Thus was born the Russian school of obstetric psicoprofílaxis.

Another important figure in the preparation of the pregnant woman, Lamaze, learned this method at the beginning of the fifties and introduced it in France, adding relaxation and breathing in panting (currently sidelined).

In Argentina, Maternity Hospital British pioneered in this field. On the momentum of its then director, Dr. James Mac-Lean began its implementation in 1957. In that year there was another revolution: for the first time in this institution, a mother left the room at birth walking with her baby in her arms. A year earlier, Dr. Lamaze had issued an unforgettable way in the Argentine Medical Association.

What is the complex of Frankenstein?

The writer and disseminator of Russian origin scientist Isaac Asimov (1920-2002) coined the term "Frankenstein complex" to describe the fear of men to the machines rebelled against their creators, in clear allusion to the legendary monster of the novel
Mary W. Shelleven.

To counter the idea, devised Asimov's famous Three Laws of Robotics as a kind of moral code of conduct for robots that prevents them from rising against its creators.

Although this argument has inspired hundreds of stories and science fiction movies, this is not a new idea: all along history has been some concern about the autonomy of the gadgets made by human beings, especially if beyond their comprehension.

Recent innovations such as personal computers or the Internet boom led to mistrust or fear thousands of people, until they began to understand its operation.

Fear of fear

Patients with panic disorder often have a previous history of apprehension and concern about physical symptoms that lead to a catastrophic interpretation of bodily sensations.

Fear of fear define very well to this trend, where emotions and sensations of a different nature and origin end up being labelled by the patient as signs of physical disaster "will give me a heart attack," or mental "I will return crazy," it entered into a state growing very fast and acute anxiety to settle the panic attack.

There is a certain level of controversy in the scientific world, it seems that a previous state of anxiety could lead to widespread panic disorder, although there would be other patients who experience panic without identifiable cause, from a previous state of tranquillity.

Most often the patient is suffering from a state of anxiety and excessive personal possession variables autodemanda, refining and environmental and personal control.

Cognitive-behavioural therapy has been shown as an effective method for patients with these difficulties. This method is basa in relations between the thinking and anguish, the identification of thoughts, exercises avoided confrontation situations, strategies and distraction relaxation and breathing techniques.

The death in the society

In the start the man didn't fear to the death. The person was guided and you knew when and how you will die; the death was accepted without fear, as yes you were part of a natural progression. The death was not neither accelerated neither delayed; certain rituals were made, liturgies were created and some customs were established.
The moribund one participated active in the ceremonial of the death and until you presided over the protocol. And this way per millennia the death was a public act, with the presence of the family, neighboring friends and children.

In the Middle Ages the attitude began to change. Of something that were common, ordinary, prospective and accepted it became something reserved and until forbidden.
The lie began to surround to the process of the death, seemingly with the purpose of protecting the moribund sick person. Hardly to the turn of this century people's that died third two parts were smaller than 50 years, and most of people died in your house, in your bed and flanked of the family and friends. And the children learned how to see the death like part of the life, no, like a threat or something unusual, but simply like part of the reality.

Currently most of the deaths happen in bigger than 65 years of age, and a high proportion of the decesos takes place in medical institutions or hospices and in the most absolute solitude. Because you are no longer acceptable to die in presence of the family; the place to die is the room of a hospital or infirmary.
And as a characteristic feeling of the up-to-date times, the topic of the death should be avoided, not because you worried the moribund one, but for the society and the relatives of the moribund one. The strong emotion caused by that that were the ugliness of the death should be avoided, and the topic of the death replaced to the sex like taboo topic.

Why we are afraid

The fear is, in start, a rational fear and in certain sense, you allow the evolution. Your feature is to "warn" when a status is dangerous; nevertheless, if you become a recursive fear due to status that are not so objective, you stop to be beneficial.

The most frequent reasons that produce the sensation of risk are the uncertainty, the insecurity and the vulnerability. Ero besides the external factors is other interior variables that are seriously involved.

You exist a listing of the main compounds that according to the theories in validity are indispensable so that the fear is unchained, and you are the following one:

- The negative similar tests
Call you luck or random, you are people that have in your to have bad more vivencias than of the other ones. Nobody can say why, but the investigations demonstrate that the bad tests not necessarily end in fears.

- The personality and the temperament
Some are more susceptible due to the personality and until a while ago, the one
sex also marked an important difference.

- The family
They are not always own realities those that generate the fear, but rather the vivencias
family previous and / or current, they help to create the atmosphere of uncertainty and insecurity.

- The fantasy
You are always an opponent of the reason and the fantasy is one very strong. The pansy
without vindicative more valid than the remote possibility that something happens it can become a cruel irrealidad difficult to dominate.

- The concerns
A concern leads to the following one and when this begins your work you are difficult that you find obstacles. The resultant: a spread mind to the obsession. When this cycle of concern is intensified and you persist you get lost the line between the actual thing and the fantasy.

- The toxic pansy
The power of the negative ideas neutralizes any chance of overcoming the fear. However, the purpose is not to ignore the existence of robberies for example, but determining the concrete possibility to be the victim of an attacker in this case. The positive pansies in the status border, don't serve as containment barrier, but yes they will act as a mental lifeboat against the impotence and the later frustration.

- The adrenaline.
You are a substance neuroquímica that always mobilize to the organism before an actual or imaginary emergency present and that you unchain the production of adrenaline. Some say that it can have a condicionamiento to the fear, that is to say, a process for which something that are not threatening transforms into something feared mentally when being associate with an object or frightening status.

Fear to the psychotherapy

The first session with a psychoanalyst, is always difficult, because they are plentiful in us a spectrum of polling and very comprehensive distrust that until not to be in the moment and to progress in the sessions, you won't be dissolved and not us distensionaremos.

You are logical that in the first query we feel uncomfortable. Although you are certain that you are difficult to delete a first printout, you are also certain that the expectations that one has don't always coincide with the reality. Not it is necessary to have an image of how I want you to be my psychotherapist neither what I want to hear. If we go with the idea that we want to hear determined things, and they tell us other, you won't be we useful the treatment. You are always to have the open mind and to deposit all the trust in the person that will help us. You are to have clear that you are an approach anxiety and that the ally of the trust is the time.

We sometimes wonder also if that therapy that we are beginning is giving good results or not. And you are good here also to make stress in that anxiety of the start, of solving the problems of an as soon as possible, you sew that you are not possible, since it is with the time that you/they leave solving the things, you are to understand what also pass one, to be able to meditate before acting, to diminish that anxiety and for ende the anguish.

You are never to leave the treatment, not at least for some vacations. Sometimes, we want to take some vacations and we make the impossible thing for autconvencernos that we are already well, and that we want that they give us the high one. This is wrong, the therapy is not a place to suffer, although to remember exacerbates, you should cross those memories.

You are important to also know that if a link of affection is not achieved with the party, of anything it will serve the therapy, since this will indicate that all the trust has not been deposited of which we already speak. With this affection, a "enamoramiento" arises for the analyst, a very special and incomparable affection with some affection of the life that are indispensable. The analyst will transform into our confessor first, and then in our guide. You are also, of a relationship based on the truth, of both parts.

Fear to be in public

This is a phobia class very habiatual in these times. You are from the fear to the social quotidian status or to be and to speak in public. The individual is afraid to behave in a humiliating or embarrassing way.

This is the case of a patient of Spanish, called citizenship Laura, 38 years old: "When I enter in a living room full with people I blush and I sit down that all the eyes are on me. You give me shame to stop in a corner. I feel so clumsy that I want to disappear, to hide, to escape..."

Erroneously, you have understood each other that the agoraphobia is the fear to the open spaces, but in fact, you are from the panic to be in places or status, of those that it could be difficult or embarrassing to escape.

A comprehensive place represents for the agoraphobic the impossibility of requesting help. on the other hand, a thin space or closed you are interpreted as a fraud without outlet possibility, for that that the claustrophobia (very invalidating for the quotidian life), is not more than a concrete manifestation of the agoraphobia.

The agoraphobia is shot in public places with great people affluence, either streets, means of conveyance, stores, stores, among other; or in closed spaces.

These are very positive petitions, since a specific drug treatment doesn't exist for ésto, although the medicines that makes you are to help to diminish the anxiety or anguish.

Phobia in the sex

If the phobia has relationship with this environment, everything gets complicated due to the disinformation, the cultural tabúes and the lagoons that stay in sexual education.

The sexual psychology considers sexually abnormal everything that that generate a personal and subjective sensation of affliction, anguishes, you accuse or depression. In and of itself, before to take to the slight one our dysfunctions and to circumvent responsibilities, you are advisable to consult to a professional, already ea a sexólogo, psychologist or psychiatrist.

Antroposophia. how to heal the suffering

Antroposophia, philosophy created in the western (but also developed inside the basics of the Natural Sciences and the paper of the test) new spiritualism, intends to search the origin of the human suffering inside the same being, recognizing to the human sufferings as obstacles spiritual solution through the reflection and the interior being's car-education. In this sense, the human dilemmas are developed by same people that suffer them and they won't be resolute as long as you are absent the car-knowledge about your desires and intimate motivations.

This science, searches to elaborate the man's global understanding and of the world, being based on an own methodology through which the spiritual worlds are approached.

Then, keeping in mind the philosophy of the being's car-knowledge, the diverse applications of the anthroposophic point of view should be taken as technologies that model the human subjectivity to transform our own behaviors consciously and to meditate on our desires.

As the being's" "technologies, these represent forms in those that the individual acts on itself, expressing a different way to be in the world. In other words, they express a peculiar form of the quotidian existence conceptualized as cult to the health, the interior knowledge and the harmony with the other ones living-

With this therapy class in the children, for example, the fact is achieved them to acquire a new capacity been founded in a conscious notion about your movements and pansies, producing a therapeutical effect in the boy's spirit that lead to your reestablishment.

The field of more important application of this curative science, is the pediatrics, being about affections like: allergies, mainly bronchial asthma and polinosis; dysfunctions of the pneumatización and infectious defense; and dysfunctions psicomáticos like fears, sleep disturbances, night enuresis, migraine, bulimia and anorexy.

Infantile nightmares

Regarding the infantile fear, this is relatively easy of reducing: coarse with redear to the boy of an environment in the one that feel safe and understood. Now then, many psychologists affirm that, the children with dysfunctions of dream, night nightmares and even fear to sleep, they are expressing a family problem that you are to try before you get complicated.

The infantile neuroses should be previously to the consolidation of the problem in issue; otherwise your sequels will crawl a lifetime. The school phobia on the other hand that spread to begin about the 3 or 4 years of age, it can rebound in the boy's social relationships and in your performance. You are known that you affect more to the children than to the girls, but the lawsuits of this generic distinction are ignored.

The specific phobias are habitual in the childhood; I eat for example to the dogs or winches, darkness, among other; although the correct thing is that the boy, as you grow you acquire the necessary surety to reject those irrational fears and you find other channels to come undone of your pressures. If the fears last after the first adolescence, the problem has been set up.

In general, the phobia doesn't usually have an explanation racinal. The same one phobic, you argue that you are about bare "foolishness", but the certain thing is that it cannot be controlled optional or it can derive others. So, near 60% of those who suffer social phobia, end also suffering other phobias, depression and wonderful disorders. You are communio to hear in the queries, so fatidical reflexines as for ejemlo this: "Not I can accept an invitation, I cannot leave my house." Many experts consider these dysfunctions fruit of an interior conflict that the person has not been able to overcome in your moment and that you should be compensated in some way.

for other side, you are normal that the phobic one rejects your problem: you prefer to forget it and to avoid as much as possible, what frighten you. The own feature of the phobia like sequence of a traumatic association of the childhood, note us to a solution: you should be related with a positive sensation. Your cure is complex and laborious, for which should trust to a professional and to be carried out in a gradual way. To allow the time to happen doesn't make more than to worsen the status.

When to fly produces panic

Many of the phobias that show up nowadays, have to more often do with the quotidian activity and they are reflected the fears of who you/they possess them in elements or status that, for those that don't have this illness, they are extremely "illogical" things due to your sencilléz.

To take an airplane is often a labor activity more, but that some hate. Air different companies offer remedies for this type of passengers.

In the face of the panic that you/they generate the airplanes in occasions, the air companies, avid in passengers, they have opted to carry out specific directed paths, in your legal age, to all those people (professionals and other) that are indebted to fly for labor issues, but that they manifest a phobia to the flight.

After a questionnaire and an interview with a psychologist and a technician to resolve doubts and to guide the suspicious passenger, they are carried out fictitious financial years of training until arriving to the final test: a live flight and in direct.

If podees this phobia type and you really need to fly, you try to appeal to different companies of air transportation, because many of them are already increasing this treatment class so that you cannot only continue with your quotidian activity, but also that become trained to face your fears.

We all feel fear, and you are not bad. Thanks to him, we outlive as specie, because your feature is the one of protecting us of the hazard. This fear, healthy and intelligent, avoids, for example that tell to a superior what we think really of him, or that we take a taxi managed by an intoxicated pipeline. On the other hand, the fear is an emotion loaded with diverse contents. This way, you are fears common to all, as the fear to the failure, to the rejection, to the forfeitures or the changes, and other, more personal. Other more communio times, the fear that we feel is not a normal and justified fear, but a fear that reponde to other lawsuits. In this sense, they are many those that are afraid in front of an imaginary threat or those that exaggerate the risks or the pressure that a status causes you. In these cases, although the threat is not actual, the fear unchains the organic same reactions: throbs, perspiration, tremor, jams, among other. This irrational fear is called by the psychologists "non adaptativo" because you are not useful to adapt to the environment, on the contrary, you lock us and you prevent to face in an appropriate way the challenges.

The first step to expire the fear is to accept that all we feel it and the second, to identify which this fear is, because not always and easy to realize it.

Schizophrenia

The psychoses esquizofrénicas are the mental most serious and frequent illnesses, since more than half of the chronic confined sick persons they suffer them. They can be defined as the group of psychic dysfunctions in those that the oncoherencia ideoverbal, the ambivalence, prevails the autism, the delirious ideas, the hallucinations and affective deep disturbances, as absence and strangeness of the feelings. This conunto of dysfunctions spreads to evolve toward a dissociation and segregation of the legal capacity.

The fundamental features of the symptoms esquizofrénicos are the following ones: excision of the legal capacity (I overturn fundamental, consistent in a rupture of the harmony of the me and of the psychic normal mechanisms); absurdidas, strangeness and psychological incomprensibilidad of the sick person's (your mind is governed by the new and unknown laws) vivencias; incongruity of the behavior; strangeness of itself, autism and rupture of the contact with the relaidad; catastrophic (with the one that the sick person foresees the destruction of your legal capacity) vivencia.

These illnesses can cause gradually, by means of a long and insidious process, or in an acute and sharp (call emerges) way. Your lawsuits, very diverse, are very debated in the different schools psiquátricas. Diverse factors can exist: genetic, biotipológicos, psicotípicos of predisposition, neurobiologic (energy dysfunctions and dismetabólicos, endocrine dysfunctions) and finally psychosocial (among those that have special importance the biographical events of the childhood, the socio-cultural mean and the relationships interfamiliares). In general, two theories etiopatogénicas prevail: the organicista (for which the schizophrenias are linked illnesses of somatic origin to a consitución and transferable for inheritance) and the psicogenética (for which the esquizpfrenias is reacciónm modes from certain types of legal capacity to specific conflicts). In fact, according to the theory psicogenética, the schizophrenias would be the final result of the uptake in anomalous ways of reaction originated in very early ages before conflicts that cannot remember. New conflicts unchain these latent reaction modes.

They exist, diverse types of psychosis esquizofrénica. The clinical most frequent and typical form is the paranoid schizophrenia that are characterized by the appearance of delirious primary ideas. Delirious secondary ideas and alucinaicones are also added; these three symptoms constitute the core of this schizophrenia. The beginning can be gradual or sharp. Frequently, the delirious ideas of persecution and of poisoning they go accompanied by auditory, visual, smell hallucinations, etc., that they confirm to the sick person in your delirious ideas. He/she usually appears in plenum adultes and even in advance ages.

The other forms clinicians differ for your evolutionary potential. You are two forms that have a very important, more included potential evilutivo that that in the typical or paranoid way, and that they constitute the serious schizophrenias.

In the first place, the schizophrenia hebefrénica are, of insidious and progressive beginning, mainly in the adolescents (school difficulties, you shrink of the performance, hypochondriac crisis and sensation of fatigue). During the beginnings it can seem a neurosis, but after some months or one year the sick person lives as dreaming and you pass to the fundamental symptoms of the illness: progressive apathy with indeferencia regarding everything, infantile behavior and massive and quick trend toward a state serious demencial.

The second serious schizophrenia is the catatonic one. In this illness the psychomotor symptoms prevail, together with a great negativism (I lock of the voluntary activity, being only conserved the self-operating activity). Of all the esquizofrénicos it is the catatonic one the one that give a more intense sensation of insulation of the reality and of rupture with the normal forms of relationship. The psychomotor syndrome can enter two forms: the hipocinética (in the one that the reduction in value of the movement, the forfeiture of all initiative, prevails until the grade of conserving the postures imposed hours and even days, and the mutismo) and the hipercinética, be local or general (in the one that episodes of semiautomatic intense agitation appear, without the sick person of a reduced space that you/they lose temper with periods of immobility being exitted). In general the sick person, although non lomparezca, is pending of your acts. The evolution toward the dementia is carried out in 3 or 4 years.

Healthy and happy children

Which are the alcoholatura good treatments that a boy needs to grow healthy and felíz?

Before anything else, we will make reference to the term "good treatments" used in the header. For many professionals that work exactly with children or mistreated people, ésto means that the children ean respected as legal persons anyone are your singularity. This involves to provide you cares physiques, power supply, health care, coat, among other; and taken care pscioafectivos, fondness unconditional respect of your person condition. You are also very important the or the educational contributions, so that they learn how to modulate your emotions, desires and behaviors to be respected themselves and your fellow men, including to all the alive other beings and the nature in general. Lastly, in the notion of good treatments the contributions should be included for a healthy and responsible socialization, that is to say that the children have the elements to build your personal histories or your identity, starting from the family, cultural and social reports surrendered in truthful and participatory conversations with the adults and pairs of your family, of your community and of your society.

To facilitate that the children have it doesn't only make aware of your histories of life but also of the reality that have played you to live, and so that they can commit with others in the change of this reality if you are unjust, violent and oppressive; you are completely fundamental a process of healthy socialization. This resides in assuring, as cmunidad, protection to the children in case your families, in the institutions or in the society they are confromtados to status of violence. the good treatments are mainly the result of a social production, not only family, but the effort that the whole community should make for the childhood.

During the period of gestation, as well as after the childbirth, the woman segregates a hormone: oxytocin that help to the attachment of your link with the baby, as well as the emotional protection that are also generated starting from her. Unfortunately, the effect of the oxytocin is influenced by the social and cultural contexts; and mainly, for the test of the mothers' life.

A mother with a childhood traumatized by bad treatments, for example, or that that your maternity lives downloads status of violence, in spite of the oxytocin, you will have difficulties in attaching to your son healthily, with the necessary empathy to assure you the good treatment that deserve. The men also have hormones, as the vasopresina that he/she explain the innate capacity to take care and to protect the children; but you seem to be that this hormone is terribly vulnerable to the ideological elements of the patriarchal culture that, with your beliefs and myths, you reduce the man to a condition of dominant, competitive and, many times, abusive and I force. Fortunately, little by little the ho, decent bres is involved more and more in the cares of your children and the emotions and the fondness lose fear.

You are certain indicators of a relationship of good treatments with the children. For example, mothers and parents that offer your children a safe attachment and they react with empathy in front of the lawsuits of satisfaction of your necessities, but at the same time they maintain the necessary authority to protect them and to educate them. another factor is when the demonstrations of affection and fondness live with pleasure; as well as when you move you to verify the efforts that he/she make the boy to advance in your development. When they are sensitive to your emotional sufriemiento and they know your son in toto, either in likes, interests, friends or customs. And, lastly, your children have a momentous importance in your lives, and for that reason soncapaces of respecting your differentiation processes, accompanying them in all the avatars of roundtrips that it enter the development process.
