Continuity of care is considered a key metric of quality healthcare. Yet, continuity of care in adults aging with congenital disability and the factors that contribute to care continuity are largely unknown. Using data from a national private administrative health claims database in the United States (2007-2018). we examined continuity of care in 8596 adults (mean age 48.6 years) with cerebral palsy or spina bifida. Logistic regression models analyzed how proximity to health care facilities, availability of care providers, and community socioeconomic context were associated with more continuous care. We found that adults aging with cerebral palsy or spina bifida saw a variety of different physician specialty types and generally had discontinuous care. Individuals who lived in areas with more hospitals and residential care facilities received more continuous care than those with limited access to these resources. Residence in more affluent areas was associated with receiving more fragmented care. Findings suggest that over and above individual factors, community healthcare resources and socioeconomic context serve as important factors to consider in understanding continuity of care patterns in adults aging with cerebral palsy or spina bifida.

AbstractAncient and traditional cultures have claimed another realm exists beyond everyday experience that can be accessed by shamanic and divination methods. Modern science views such claims with suspicion. Evidence is presented that this may be changing. Carl Jung proposed a conscious realm and an unconscious realm—the unconscious realm included the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious. Later, with his theory of synchronicity, he proposed a material realm and a psychic realm arising from a unitary realm. This essay follows Jung’s colleague, Marie-Louise von Franz, and her efforts to identify ideas in science similar to Jung’s. Von Franz found two French scientists with two realms similar to what Jung proposed: Olivier Costa de Beauregard and Albert Lautman. At the time von Franz published Divination and Synchronicity, quantum physicist David Bohm likewise proposed two realms: an implicit order and an explicit order. Recently, English physicist and Anglican priest Sir John Polkinghorne published his version of two realms. Contemporary physics claims there is an everyday world modeled by causal mechanistic science and a different quantum realm. This leads a contemporary physicist to sound like a shaman or diviner. The examples just considered are theoretical. In contrast, two examples from experimental physics—the hydrogen spectrum and Shaw’s dripping faucet—embody a realm of time and a timeless pattern. The evidence considered supports Polkinghorne’s suggestion that changes are underway, transforming science in ways similar to Jung’s and von Franz’s dual realms.

古代和传统文化都声称,在日常体验之外存在着另一个领域,可以通过萨满和占卜的方法进入。现代科学对这种说法持怀疑态度。有证据表明,这种情况可能正在改变。卡尔·荣格提出了意识领域和无意识领域——无意识领域包括个人无意识和集体无意识。后来,在共时性理论中,他提出了从统一的境界中产生的物质境界和精神境界。这篇文章跟随荣格的同事玛丽-路易斯·冯·弗朗茨,以及她在科学中识别与荣格相似的思想的努力。冯·弗朗兹发现了两位法国科学家,他们的两个领域与荣格的观点相似:奥利维尔·科斯塔·德·博加德和阿尔伯特·劳特曼。在冯·弗朗茨出版《占卜与同步性》的时候,量子物理学家大卫·玻姆同样提出了两个领域:隐式秩序和显性秩序。最近,英国物理学家和圣公会牧师约翰·波金霍恩爵士发表了他的两个领域理论。当代物理学声称,有一个由因果机制科学建模的日常世界和一个不同的量子领域。这使得一个当代物理学家听起来像一个萨满或占卜者。刚才考虑的例子都是理论性的。相比之下,实验物理学中的两个例子——氢光谱和萧伯纳的滴水水龙头——体现了时间的领域和永恒的模式。所考虑的证据支持Polkinghorne的建议,即变化正在发生,以类似荣格和冯·弗朗茨的双重领域的方式改变科学。注1“奇异吸引子”一词是指在一个假定的混沌系统中出现的一种模式。其他信息关于贡献者的说明。林恩MackeyJ。林恩·麦基博士,阿巴拉契亚州立大学跨学科研究荣誉教授。他在化学、跨学科研究和荣格心理学等领域发表过文章。他是C.

AbstractStones are both heavily symbolic and down to earth. In response to a severe heart attack 20 years ago, Steve Parker began working with stones to create a place to retreat and a haven to heal. The stonework took on a life of its own and became a stone sanctuary, featuring many unique stone structures. It is a temenos, a special place for his clients and himself to reflect and connect with larger forces. The most recent work is a large 50-foot sunken spiral labyrinth that descends six feet into the ground, with a square perimeter. It is evocative of the alchemical quest of squaring the circle. The spiral labyrinth is also representative of a mandala, with the center symbolizing the place of the soul. Robert Henderson visited the stone sanctuary in 2015 and interviewed Steve for Psychological Perspectives of June 2017. This follow-up interview focuses on connecting the work with the ideas of C. G. Jung and the symbolism of stones, spirals, and soul. Additional informationNotes on contributorsRobert S.

摘要石头具有很强的象征意义,也很接地气。为了应对20年前严重的心脏病发作,史蒂夫·帕克(Steve Parker)开始用石头建造一个隐居的地方和一个愈合的避风港。石雕有了自己的生命,成为一个石头圣地,有许多独特的石头结构。这是一个temenos,一个特殊的地方,他的客户和他自己反映和连接更大的力量。最近的作品是一个巨大的50英尺的下沉式螺旋迷宫,下降到六英尺深的地下,有一个方形的周长。它让人联想到炼金术中的圆的平方。螺旋迷宫也是曼荼罗的代表,中心象征着灵魂的地方。罗伯特·亨德森在2015年参观了石头避难所,并在2017年6月的《心理学视角》上采访了史蒂夫。接下来的采访重点是将作品与荣格的思想以及石头、螺旋和灵魂的象征联系起来。steve Parker博士是一位荣格心理学家,他在阿拉斯加的费尔班克斯生活和工作了40年。Steve和他的搭档Kornelia Grabinska博士,一位荣格学派的分析师,已经举办荣格学派研讨会30年了。20年前,在一次严重的心脏病发作之后,一系列的照片出现了,这些照片成为了艺术展和电子书《心脏病与灵魂》(heart attack and Soul)的基础。然后,他开始制作一些三维图像,建造了一个巨大的石头圣殿和迷宫,这已经成为一个反思和治疗的地方。更多信息请访问www.friendsofthelabyrinth.org.Rev。罗伯特·亨德森博士是康涅狄格州格拉斯顿伯里的新教牧师、诗人和荣格心理治疗师。他和他的妻子詹尼斯(Janis)是一名心理治疗师,在《心理学视角》、《象限》、《收获》、《荣格杂志》和《春季杂志》上发表了许多“enterviews”,并且是三卷本《与荣格一起生活:荣格分析师的“enterviews”》的作者。罗伯特还在《心理学透视》杂志上发表了一些诗歌,并撰写了一本诗集:《来自聆听点的诗歌》。

AbstractOn June 24th, 2022, the Supreme Court hit the women of America with a gut-punch in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe vs. Wade. This paper is a response to that ruling, which essentially decrees that women have no constitutional right to make personal decisions about their own bodies. The angry ghosts of women who died in back alley abortions howled in America’s soul. The Muse of Free Women went on retreat. Those who have taken their right to decide whether or not to bear a child for granted saw their world turned upside down. Those who remember the bad old days when abortion was illegal all over America watched the country pivot backwards. The Supreme Court has appropriated our wombs as vessels of the state. But when it comes to the work of tending the fruit of our wombs, those in the so-called “pro-life movement” are nowhere to be found. An underlying misogynist mother hate—an inability to empathize with the reality of women’s lives and bodies—reared its ugly head. Hadn’t we rid ourselves of that painful shadow with the Women’s Liberation of the 1960s and 1970s? Apparently not. The antidote comes in the form of Motherline stories, which flesh out the joys and agonies of being the bearers of new life. Myths about the Great Mother Goddess from many cultures in the world help women see themselves with more complexity and nuance and offer images of power and intelligence beyond the patriarchal paradigm.
