  • Phrenology Head
    What’s on your mind? This is a classic picture stimulus that never fails to engage interest and generate dialogue. It works with young people from Key Stage Three right through to adults. Both the idea of phrenology and the image of a phrenology head are rich in possibilities, but this picture is extra rich because it shows the cover of a popular nineteenth century phrenological journal, and this has slogans like ‘Home Truths for Home Consumption’ and ‘Know Thyself’. Here’s one way to use this stimulus. 1. Provoke some discovery thinking It can go up on the screen, but its good to print off copies so small groups can gather around the image for a couple of minutes to try to make sense of it. It is beneficial to let them struggle and then have them feed back to the whole class with their first impressions. It is also useful to prompt some of this discovery thinking with questions like ‘What are we looking at?’, ‘Any clues about who this is aimed at?’, ‘What might the compartments be?’, ‘What is a journal?’ 2. Convey some information about phrenology 2.1. Phrenology was a very popular nineteenth century practice. 2.2. It was based on the idea that the mind has distinct functions that are located in different parts of the brain. 2.3. People believed that the more developed a particular function is, the bigger that part of the brain is. 2.4. They also believed that the shape of the person’s skull was determined by the relative development of each part of their brain .

  • Alternative Sports Medicine What's New and How You Can Get Back
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 2007 Contact: Sue Seecof, Rolf Institute, [email protected], 800-530-8875 Alternative Sports Medicine What’s New And How You Can Get Back On Your Feet In No Time Boulder, CO..."Alternative approaches can be helpful for just about any soft tissue injury an athlete’s likely to incur, whether it’s a less-serious acute problem, such as a sprain or pulled hamstring, or a chronic condition such as tendonitis or knee pain." Women’s Outside, Fall ‘99. Kristen Ulmer, former World Champion Extreme skier and U.S. Freestyle Ski team, mogul specialist, who had a series of knee surgeries as a result of injuries and tendonitis says, "After the surgery I had excruciating pain and could not drive or walk." Revered as the "best female Extreme skier" for the past 8-9 years, Ulmer tried Rolfing® bodywork for soft tissue injuries and says it brought her hips and ankles back into alignment, and the pain disappeared. "It healed so fast I can't believe it!" says Kristen. "The expected 6 month recovery time was cut in half, and three months after surgery I was trekking to Cho Oyu on a Himalayan ski expedition." "Ulmer was desperate to find relief from her chronic knee pain. So after her most recent surgery, she rested her knee and signed up for ten Rolfing treatments. By the time she had received Rolfing from head to toe, she was pain-free for the first time in years and is back on the slopes." Women's Sports and Fitness, July ‘99.

Frauke Musial* Department of Community Medicine, National Research Center in Complementary and Alternative Medicine, NAFKAM, Faculty of Health Science, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø, Norway Several control conditions, such as penetrating sham acupuncture and non-penetrating placebo needles, have been used in clinical trials on acupuncture effects in chronic pain syndromes. All these control conditions are surprisingly effective with regard to their analgesic properties. These findings have fostered a discussion as to whether acupuncture is merely a placebo. Meta-analyses on the clinical effectiveness of placebo revealed that placebo interventions in general have minor, clinically important effects. Only in trials on pain and nausea, including acupuncture studies, did placebo effects vary from negligible to clinically important. At the same time, individual patient meta-analyses confirm that acupuncture is effective for the treatment of chronic pain, including small but statistically significant differences between acupuncture and sham acupuncture. All acupuncture control conditions induce de qi, a distinct stimulation associated with pain and needling which has been shown to be a nociceptive/pain stimulus. Acupuncture therefore probably activates the pain matrix in the brain in a bottom-up fashion via the spino-thalamic tract. Central nervous system effects of acupuncture can be modulated through expectations, which are believed to be a central component of the placebo response. However, further investigation is required to determine how strong the Edited by: Florian Beissner, influence of placebo on the attenuation of activity in the pain matrix really is.

Rolf and her life’s work of Structural Integration or Rolfing is a product of early twentieth century American metaphysical thought. Rolfing is an American form of somatic bodywork that strives to overcome the Cartesian mind/body split. Through structural work via manual manipulation, Rolfing attempts to achieve physical health and emotional intelligence. This paper explores four major aspects of Rolfing as American Metaphysical religiosity, as defined by Catherine L. Albanese in Republic of Mind and Spirit: A Cultural History of American Metaphysical Religion. The project also explores the origins of somatic bodywork and the metaphysical idea of spiritual transformation through physical change. The Esalen Institute is examined for its part in developing a secular American metaphysical religiosity that fostered and promoted Rolfing.

  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine
    Corporate Medical Policy Complementary and Alternative Medicine File Name: complementary_and_alternative_medicine Origination: 12/2007 Last CAP Review: 2/2021 Next CAP Review: 2/2022 Last Review: 2/2021 Description of Procedure or Service The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine (NCCIH), a component of the National Institutes of Health, defines complementary, alternative medicine (CAM) as a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional or allopathic medicine. While some scientific evidence exists regarding some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies-questions such as whether these therapies are safe and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are used. Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine. Complementary medicine proposes to add to a proven medical treatment. Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. Alternative means the proposed method would possibly replace an already proven and accepted medical intervention. NCCIM classifies CAM therapies into 5 categories or domains: • Whole Medical Systems. These alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice. These systems have evolved apart from, and earlier than, the conventional medical approach used in the U.S. Examples include: homeopathic and naturopathic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Macrobiotics, Naprapathy and Polarity Therapy. • Mind-Body Medicine. Mind-body interventions use a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind’s capacity to affect bodily functions and symptoms. Some techniques have become part of mainstream practice, such as patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

  • The Fate of Invention in Late 19 Century French Literature
    The Fate of Invention in Late 19th Century French Literature Ana I. Oancea Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 ©2014 Ana I. Oancea All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Fate of Invention in Late 19th Century French Literature Ana I. Oancea This dissertation reads the novels of Jules Verne, Albert Robida, Villiers de l’Isle-Adam and Emile Zola, investigating the representation of inventors who specialize in electricity. The figure appears as the intersection of divergent literary movements: Zola, the father of Naturalism and leading proponent of a ‘scientific’ approach to literature, Villiers de l’Isle-Adam, decadent playwright and novelist, Robida, leading caricaturist and amateur historian, and Verne, prominent figure in the emerging genre of anticipation, all develop the inventor character as one who succeeds in realizing key technological aspirations of the 19th century. The authors, however, take a dim view of his activity. Studying the figure of the inventor allows us to gain insight into fundamental 19th century French anxieties over the nation’s progress in science and technology, its national identity, and international standing. The corpus casts science as a pillar of French culture and a modern expression of human creativity, but suggests that social control over how progress is achieved is more important than pure advancement, no matter the price of attaining control. There is a great desire for progress in this period, but as society’s dependence on scientific advancement is becoming apparent, so is its being ignorant of the means through which to achieve it.

  • Commentary: Law and Phrenology Pierre Schlag [Author Note Below] 110 Harv
    Commentary: Law and Phrenology Pierre Schlag [author note below] 110 Harv. L. Rev. 877 Copyright © 1997 Harvard Law Review; Pierre Schlag As the intellectual credentials of American law become increasingly dubious, the question arises: how has this discipline been intellectually organized to sustain belief among its academic practitioners? This Commentary explores the nineteenth-century pseudo-science of phrenology as a way of gaining insight into the intellectual organization of American law. Although there are, obviously, significant differences, the parallels are at once striking and edifying. Both phrenology and law emerged as disciplinary knowledges through attempts to cast them in the form of sciences. In both cases, the "sciences" were aesthetically organized around a fundamental ontology of reifications and animisms - "faculties" in the case of phrenology, "doctrines" and "principles" in the case of law. Both disciplines developed into extremely intricate productions of self-referential complexity. In both cases, the disciplinary edifice was maintained by disciplinary thinkers who sought confirming evidence of the truth (and value) of their enterprise and who went to great lengths to avoid disconfirming evidence. Finally, the surface plausibility of both disciplines was maintained through a tacit reliance on folk beliefs (folk- frames and folk-ontologies) that were recast in professionalized jargons. Both the similarities and the differences between phrenology and law lead to a fundamental question: does the discipline of law know anything, and if so, what? Let us dismiss prejudice, and calmly listen to evidence and reason; . let us inquire, examine, and decide. These, I trust, are the sentiments of the reader; and on the faith of their being so, I shall proceed .
