AbstractIn Chinese culture, there is a widely circulated phrase, ‘A hen crows in the morning’. This phrase is used to humiliate women who steal power and engage in the political field. It demonstrates the complicated relationship between women and power in the context of Chinese culture. Women are not completely excluded from the politics, but women in power are often stigmatised. This study explores the life of Empress Dowager Cixi (1835–1908), the last female dominator in Chinese history, takes psychobiography as the research method, and attempts to understand the complicated relationship between women and power in Chinese culture through analysing Cixi’s life from the perspective of complex and cultural complex theory which originated with C.G. Jung and analytical theory. The research findings show that humiliating and suppressing women with political talent can trigger their complexes, both personal and cultural. This study attempts to propose the femininity castrated complex to better describe the conscious and unconscious psychological dynamics impacting on women within patriarchal, political Chinese culture. This complex further relates to (1) denying her biological sex in order to avoid accusations of superego and, (2) the relationship with her son who is not only her son, but also her enemy regarding (political) power.Keywords: Psychobiographyfeminismchinanarrative analysiswomen leadershippolitics Conflicts of interestNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 This was a peasant uprising that swept through half of the Qing Dynasty (Sheng, Citation1998).2 Although the United States did not invade China by force, the politicians demanded equal benefits and status like Britain, France, and Russia (Sheng, Citation1998).3 The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-imperialist and patriotic movement driven by a secret society in China, the ‘boxers’, involving a wide range of peasant groups in the Qing Dynasty from 1899 to 1902.

在中国文化中,有一个广为流传的说法,“母鸡晨啼”。这句话是用来羞辱那些窃取权力并参与政治领域的女性。它展示了中国文化背景下女性与权力的复杂关系。女性并不是完全被排除在政治之外,但掌权的女性往往被污名化。本研究以心理传记为研究方法,探讨中国历史上最后一位女性统治者慈禧太后(1835-1908)的生平,试图从荣格的情结和文化情结理论出发,从分析理论的角度分析慈禧太后的生平,来理解中国文化中女性与权力的复杂关系。研究结果表明,羞辱和压制有政治才能的女性会引发她们的个人和文化情结。本研究试图提出女性特质阉割情结,以更好地描述中国男权政治文化中影响女性的有意识和无意识的心理动力。这种情结进一步涉及到(1)为了避免超我的指责而否认她的生理性别,(2)与她的儿子的关系,他不仅是她的儿子,也是她在(政治)权力方面的敌人。关键词:心理传记女性主义机制叙事分析女性领导政治利益冲突作者未发现潜在的利益冲突注1这是一场席卷了半个清朝的农民起义(盛,Citation1998)虽然美国没有武力入侵中国,但政治家们要求与英、法、俄一样的利益和地位平等(Sheng, Citation1998)义和团运动是1899年至1902年由中国的一个秘密团体“义和团”发起的一场反帝爱国运动,涉及广泛的清朝农民团体。这是一场反对外国人在中国的起义,也是西方和日本政治经济影响的蔓延(NAM, Citation2023)同治皇帝的父亲是咸丰皇帝,母亲是慈禧太后。5 Non-WEIRD语境是指非西方的、没有受过教育的、没有工业化的、不富裕的、不民主的语境(参见Mayer et al., 2013)这是那位官员的名字。管理地区比较富裕,因此这一官职具有很大的重要性和影响力。惠政被授予这个职位,说明道光帝对他非常信任(《徽宗,2012》,第25页)乙贵妃是皇上的第四位贵妃汉武帝把王位传给了勾仪夫人的儿子,但这个儿子当时还很年轻。汉武帝担心勾仪夫人会控制政府,所以他给了勾仪夫人的死咸丰皇帝的合法妻子咸丰皇帝的兄弟在中国,有句谚语说,儿子是龙,女儿是凤凰。这句谚语抓住了父母对孩子的许多期望。一般来说,他们期望自己的儿子在事业上取得成功,希望自己的女儿高贵而有尊严。

AbstractSubstance use disorder (SUD) assessment and measurement in Brazil, as well as in many other countries, face significant shortcomings. The Measurement in the Addictions for Triage and Evaluation (MATE) was developed as a public domain tool, drawing from validated scales and incorporating World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework. The Brazilian version of the MATE (MATE-pt-BR) was evaluated for its reliability and validity, with a total of 239 subjects participating in the study, and data collected between 11/01/2021 and 09/01/2022. The majority were male (79.2%), with diverse racial backgrounds. The substances most prevalently used in the last 30 days were. Alcohol (73.2%), nicotine (63.6%), and cocaine (44.2%). The mean scores for MATE modules showed variations, with Module Q2 assessing psychological well-being having high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.92). MATE-pt-BR demonstrated robust internal consistency, with Module 6 (personality) and Module 2 (medical and psychiatric consultation indicators) being exceptions. MATE-pt-BR exhibited significant correlations among its sections and strong discriminant validity. Moreover, the paper compares MATE-pt-BR with the Addiction Severity Index (ASI-6), which is considered the gold-standard measure for SUD assessments. MATE-pt-BR offers a valuable tool for assessing substance use and related functional impairments in the Brazilian context.Keywords: Substance use disorder assessmentmeasurement in the addictions for triage and evaluation (MATE)validityreliabilityworld health organization international classification of functioningdisabilityand health (ICF)addiction severity index (ASI-6) AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank Prof. Gerard Schippers and Dr. Theo Broekman for their unconditional support for developing MATE-pt-BR.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

AbstractMuseum-based learning activities provide interactive and innovative ways to integrate the arts and humanities into medical education. Like other museum-based activities, the Group Poem supports the development of multiple clinically relevant skills and attributes, such as observation, communication, perspective-taking, empathy, and implicit bias awareness. In this paper, we present a step-by-step guide for educators seeking to design and implement a museum-based Group Poem activity for medical learners. The overall ‘task’ of the activity is for learners to collectively create a poem that they perform for others, a process that participants find to be engaging and meaningful to their formation as physicians. In this paper, we provide specific directions on pre-selecting the works of art, preparing the supplies, dividing into small groups, providing iterative instructions to learners, managing the timing of the session, and debriefing the activity. Although designed to be experienced in an art museum, we note that the Group Poem activity can also be conducted in the classroom or virtually using photographic or digital reproductions of artwork.Keywords: Visual artsarts and humanitiescommunication skillsmuseum educationmedical education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingDr. Chisolm is the Director of the Paul McHugh Program for Human Flourishing, through which her work is supported.

AbstractIda B. Wells (1862-1931) led an extraordinary life as a journalist, educator, and activist while navigating the intersecting social realities of race, gender, and class. She embodied courage, advocating for the civil rights of Black Americans in an uncompromising fashion.Building on decades of research in social psychology, sociologist Cecilia L. Ridgeway presents (2019) a cultural schema theory of status. She contends that issues of status in interpersonal contexts are an unavoidable aspect of the human condition. Despite the ubiquity of status as a sociocultural force, Ridgeway believes that status hierarchies may be undermined.The present study is a psychobiographical exploration of Wells through the lens of Ridgeway’s status theory. It explores: the development of Wells’ cultural schemas; how Wells navigated her own status; the inter-relationship between Wells and her sociocultural context; and how Wells undermined and overcame status hierarchies.Keywords: Black AmericansBlack womencivil rightscultural schema theory of statusIda B.

Additionally, there is room for analysis of the relationship between African-Americans such as Wells who possessed more status than many immigrants, but whose descendants in turn could benefit from anti-Blackness to gain status.
威尔斯(1862-1931)作为一名记者、教育家和活动家,在种族、性别和阶级等交叉的社会现实中度过了非凡的一生。她体现了勇气,以一种毫不妥协的方式倡导美国黑人的民权。社会学家塞西莉亚·里奇韦(Cecilia L. Ridgeway)基于数十年的社会心理学研究,提出了一种关于地位的文化图式理论(2019)。她认为,人际关系中的地位问题是人类状况不可避免的一个方面。尽管地位作为一种社会文化力量无处不在,Ridgeway认为地位等级可能会被削弱。本研究是通过里奇韦的地位理论对威尔斯进行心理传记式的探索。探讨了威尔斯文化图式的发展;威尔斯如何驾驭自己的地位;威尔斯与其社会文化背景的相互关系;以及威尔斯如何破坏和克服地位等级制度。关键词:美国黑人黑人女性民权地位文化图式理论ida B. wells记者塞西莉亚·里奇韦心理传记致谢我要感谢凯瑟琳·韦格纳在出版前对手稿的编辑。利益披露作者报告无利益冲突。作者独自负责论文的内容和写作。推荐引用:wegner, B.R.(2023)。身份敌人:艾达·b·威尔斯的心理传记调查。注1:从历史记录来看,他们的关系是否是两厢情愿的并不清楚,即使是,人们也可以说,权力的不平衡使得两厢情愿的关系不可能发生从南北战争到大约20世纪70年代理查德·尼克松总统实施“南方战略”,传统上支持非裔美国人权利的是共和党,而不是民主党。在一个没有阶级的社会里,即使是“专业”也不会授予某人坐在第一辆车的权利。此外,对非裔美国人之间的关系也有分析的余地,比如威尔斯,他们比许多移民拥有更高的地位,但他们的后代反过来又可以从反黑人运动中受益,从而获得地位。

There is clear evidence that university students are experiencing significant mental health difficulties, further exacerbated by the temporary closure of university campuses during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Against this backdrop, our study – Student Wellbeing and Experiential Learning Spaces (SWELS) – explored the role of experiential learning spaces in supporting student wellbeing. We adopted a mixed-methods approach, consisting of an online survey and interviews with students from three research intensive UK Universities. The survey results revealed that compared to the national average of 16–25-year-olds from the UK Office for National Statistics’ (ONS) wellbeing questionnaire, the sampled students exhibited significantly lower levels of life satisfaction, happiness, perceived worthwhileness and higher levels of anxiety. The qualitative results further confirmed that students perceived their wellbeing to be affected by their university experience and the COVID pandemic. However, the results also suggest that experiential learning spaces (such as museums, collections, libraries, and gardens) hold strong potential to support student mental health. Accordingly, the study indicates that diversifying module content and conscientiously considering both physical and digital learning spaces can positively impact students. In short, curricula that are cognisant of the physical learning environment and embed a focus on wellbeing into their content might help to bolster student wellbeing.

AbstractThis piece explores how poetry and prose can be used as an adjunct to medical education and patient care, especially in the field of psychiatry. It details the author’s personal experience with spoken word poetry as a medium of communication about their own story and how this may be harnessed to tell the stories of patients as well. The piece touches on how mental health can be explored through creative writing and how this may be a useful tool for working with patients.Keywords: Poetryarts in medicinestorytellingnarrative medicine AcknowledgementsThe author thanks Dr. Margaret Chisolm for her guidance and support with this piece.Informed consentNo human subjects were involved in the composition of this article.

AbstractThis paper describes a technique using photographic portraits in medical education to encourage close observation, cultivate empathic curiosity, explore learners’ values and beliefs, and to reveal and reflect on fundamental biases. This new and evolving educational method uses the lens of psychotherapy to explore learners’ experience of the portrait in a similar way we would discuss a case in psychodynamic supervision. Through close looking and small group engagement, the facilitator creates a space for deeper reflection and collaborative exploration of the therapeutic relationship, with emphasis on countertransference and the role of prior expectations. The exercise strengthens dialectical thinking through perspective-taking, challenging implicit assumptions and fostering cultural humility. Radiologists are taught to look in every corner of the X-ray and to observe each shadow, all while evaluating the entire image. Portraits can be examined in the same way, looking for subtle clues to the personality and history of the subject. Information from other sources confirms, or sometimes profoundly changes, our evaluation. In this example, we use a historical photographic portrait to demonstrate ways of engaging medical learners as they discover common psychotherapeutic approaches. The method has the potential to enhance therapeutic encounters, improve analytical skills and reduce bias.Keywords: Psychiatryart in medical educationvisual arts and medicineempathy in medical educationcountertransference in medical educationhumanism in healthcareemotional recognition in medical learnerscultural humility in medical educationdialectical thinking in psychiatry educationobservational skills in medical learners Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

AbstractMedical education serves to teach students how to think and act as future physicians. Doing so successfully requires supporting learners’ acquisition of clinical skills and knowledge, but also attending to their character education and virtue development. The arts and humanities are widely embraced as a fundamental component of a complete medical education. While not frequently touted as a useful pedagogical tool for teaching character and virtue, we argue the integration of arts-based activities into medical education can promote virtue development. In this article, we use the virtues framework from the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues at the University of Birmingham to review existing empirical studies of arts-based programs for each of these virtue domains of intellectual, moral, civic, and performance virtues. Learners may benefit from further exploration—both conceptual and empirical—of how the arts can scaffold character development in medical education.Keywords: Jubilee Center for Character and Virtuesintellectual virtuescivic virtuesperformance virtuesmoral virtueshumanities AcknowledgementsDr. Chisolm is the Director of the Paul McHugh Program for Human Flourishing, through which her work is supported.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

AbstractPhotography is a medium that has historical roots in psychiatry. It is an art form that shares some concepts with psychodynamic psychotherapy and can also provide psychotherapeutic value. In addition, it can provide a means of stress reduction for the burned-out clinician. Photographs can also be utilised for educational activities to stimulate reflection and discussion.Keywords: Photographyhumanitiesvisual artspsychoanalytic theorystresstherapy AcknowledgementsThe authors acknowledge the contributions of Josepha Cheong, M.D. in formulating and moderating the original presentation.Declaration of interestThe three authors report no conflicts of interest.
