Starting from the classical definition of "demonic possession" as a psychophysical condition in which a person becomes a victim of a supernatural being, be it a spirit, a demon, an angel, a divine creature or a family ancestor, the analysis continues with the examination of theoretical and practical profiles of this particular event, with an emphasis on approaches that tend to explain it, according to the most significant guidelines: ethnopsychiatric, the socio-anthropological, the cultural, the religious, the esoteric, the psychoanalytic and the clinician, to then re-elaborate everything in an integrated key, according to the neurobiological model, also with the help of the sophisticated investigation techniques used in criminal law.

When considering "Stupidity" in such works, it is important to distinguish between the word and the phenomenon. The word stems from the Latin stupere,a meaning dumb or astounded and is related to “Stupor”. It may be used to designate a mentality which is informed, deliberate and maladaptive but nevertheless normal. Usually, the term “Stupidity” is used like an extreme swear word—a putdown for those deemed intellectually inferior, b although this tactic may reveal more about the attitude of the user than the cognitive abilities of the designatee(s). On the other hand, as a disparaging term for members of an outgroup, the word "Stupidity" often indicates little more than a biased evaluation of behavior. If we do "X" it is smart or necessary; if they do "X" it is stupid.1 For example, when contemplating President Reagan’s “Star Wars” defense system, free-spending Democrats suddenly became fiscal conservatives,2 so spending on that program was deemed stupid. As the same act may be interpreted as both stupid and reasonable (or brilliant), we do indeed live in a perceptual world of "A" and "Not A": that is, a statement may be true and false at the same time–e.g., “History is about people” is superficially true, but it is also about geography, economics, psychology, etc.3 Further, changes through time may alter prejudiced evaluations, so the label "Stupid" may express nothing more than a temporal estimate made according to arbitrary standards subjectively applied to perceived conditions.

The current career understanding develops away from institutionally outlined career track to informal personal and socially shared career conceptualization. Richardson (2002, 1993) suggested that occupational counselling and psychotherapy should become more integrated and thus better address this issue. We propose that we need a new conceptualization which would see career and occupational projects as being constructed in the personal and social processes and could provide a new basis for counselling integrating occupational counselling, psychotherapy and dealing with joint processes on a basis common to all three views. The core of this conceptualization is the idea of goal-directed system processes organized in action, projects and career, which are related to a number of issues such as occupational career, but also mental and physical health and relationships (Domene, Valach, & Young, 2015; Valach, Young, & Lynam, 2002; Young, Valach, & Collin, 2002). This conceptualization will be outlined, several cases will be described in which the intertwining of various issues asking for occupational, therapeutical and family related intervention is visible and, finally, a brief quantitative and qualitative overview will be provided of the occurrence of the occupational, life and suicide related joint issues in 40 interviews with patients after a non-fatal suicide action (Valach, Young, & Michel, 1997).

In the Asian countries, the entry of baby-boomers into old age is a social policy issue . The Council for Economic Planning and Development predicted that elderly (more than 65 y/o) will reach 22.5% by 2028 in Taiwan. The population aged (more than 60 y/o) in China is projected to increase from 13.9 % in 2013 to 32.8 % by 2050 . A Taiwan National Health White Paper (2020) reported that the main factor influencing the higher life span was medical care . From a health perspective, older people tend to spend a greater proportion on health care than other sectors of the population . Thus, improving education or enhancing care services may be needed to ensure that elderly make wise decisions concerning medical care and their health.

Objective: Breast cancer is frequently associated with psycho-oncological burden for the affected patients. Severity and temporal dimension are often not readily assessable, as many patients do not express their need for professional counseling. Monitoring usually ends together with the patients’ intensive medical cancer therapy. Thus, information on the longitudinal need for psycho-oncological support is limited. The aim of this questionnaire- based observational study was to identify breast cancer patients in need of psycho-oncological support and to monitor these patients in the long-term. Methods: A total of 94 patients treated in two oncological practices in Germany between May 2011 and July 2015 were included. 61 patients had primary breast cancer and 33 presented with recurrent/metastatic disease. To assess the patients’ burden, the standardized self-rating Questionnaire on Stress in Cancer Patients – short form (QSC-R10) was to be answered by each patient at different time points. Results: Of 41% (n=39) initially burdened patients treated either in a curative or in a palliative setting, 67% (n=26) still required psycho-oncological support at the time of the second survey. Conclusions: Psycho-oncological burden is common in breast cancer patients and the need for support persists over a long period of time. In the future, this temporal dimension has to be adequately addressed after the completion of their intensive medical cancer therapy. Thus, the long-term monitoring of cancer patients with the QSC-R10 is strongly recommended.

The evidence for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) ’s effectiveness in treatment usually employs subjective rather than objective measures. Salivary stress biomarkers are considered a useful objective measure of stress. In this study, three salivary biomarkers were examined during EMDR treatment: cortisol (Crti.) as a measure of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis response; secretory immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) as an immune function measure; and chromogranin A (CgA) as a measure of the sympathoadrenal system. Subjects were four adult PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) clients (28–37 years old) who were treated with standard EMDR therapy. Changes in biomarker data during the course of EMDR treatment provided objective evidence for the effectiveness of EMDR therapy. First, Crti. and CgA levels decreased gradually during treatment, indicating that psychological stress was reduced by EMDR therapy. The change in s-IgA was predictably small, showing that the immune system recovered slowly from PTSD. Second, changes in CgA during EMDR sessions reflected the PTSD type (e.g., hyperarousal type or avoidance type) as defined by IES-R subscores. In clients with hyperarousal-type PTSD, pre-EMDR CgA levels were higher than post-treatment levels. Conversely, in avoidance-type clients, levels were lower before than after treatment. These changes were considered to reflect clients’ responses to the requirement that they recall their traumatic memories. The current study successfully shows that changes salivary biomarkers provide physiological evidence of therapeutic mechanism of EMDR in different types of PTSD.

The presence of shivering and psychogenic shivering in mental health was measured using a compiled database including the DSM-5 and a large body of existing assessment tools and technology. We found results for chills, tremors, and temperature. None of the other shiver-related terms (N=9) yielded any results, which suggests that the role of psychogenic shivering in mental health has been largely understudied by physicians and psychiatrists. Based on the results and the data extracted from a complete database of the literature devoted to psychogenic shivers in cognitive neuroscience, we outline the importance of psychogenic shivering in the assessment of mental health in a clinical setting. We discuss how the tools introduced in this article could be developed further to gather new clinical data about both shivers and health.

Repeated use of IV ketamine infusion for depression and suicidality is not practical for some of patients. Thus, the objective of this report is to describe the current and forthcoming trials investigating Intranasal (IN) ketamine. We conducted a search of PubMed and clinical trials. Gov. There is one published, randomized, double-blind trial and five clinical trials in clinicaltrials.gov: two completed, two recruiting, and one withdrawn. IN ketamine is potentially a promising and practical alternative to IV infusion. Data is still limited, however the results of these ongoing studies could provide helpful clinical guidance regarding efficacy and adverse effects.
