(Inca Princess)

Inca Princess

Inca Princess (Craig Martin) Born in Barcelona in 1979. Gardener and a student is Psychology at the University of Barcelona, \u200b\u200band participated in the collective poetic Poetry MUPOCAT and Haloperidol. Works weekly in the program La Ventana de la Cadena Ser, and is a member of the Nicosia Radio Sociocultural Association, whose mission is to fight stigma of mental illness in society. cliff The woman is his first book of poems.

A review of our much admired Ricard Ruiz Garzón :
"For months it expected in the circles linked to mental health, Fortunately more and more active. Christina Martin, known as Inca Princess for his work on Radio Nicosia and the BE window, you see how his collection last The woman comes out in March cliff in Books of Silence. Violence, sex, beauty, compassion and relentless fight against the stigma of "madness" will meet him. Inca Princess is abysmal, do not miss it. "

And another Jorge David Alonso :
" 's poems-cliff Women are texts that come straight from the heart, full of lyricism, in which he speaks sometimes madness, but it is the predominant theme. Poems are always close, reaching the reader without difficulty, which sometimes resent the way and lack of refinement, but without a doubt, say that here is a poet who would hurt the life, suffering every day, though I try to hide their smiling and unbiased nature. "

Nierga Genma's prologue begins with this question Why do we want both the Princess? and talks about her, Cristina:
" There is something very special about Cristina, and to portray this unique and wonderful person is not easy. His voice, his laugh sound, his eloquence, especially its truth ... are unique.
Nobody listens like her, nobody looks like her no one cares about people as seriously as the Inca princess. (...)
she questions everything. Starting from the conventional things. She was not worth a "How are you, how are you?".
admit that at first I had a certain prejudice against Cristina. "Where do I go out? Is mentally ill, I thought. I have the same prejudices as everyone, and everyone there are things that scare us, words such as insanity, pronouncing only give us dread. Cristina
But soon won me over. Because their words reach deep inside me.
His life has been hard, but she is not fragile. Therapy is infallible: laughter. When he tells us his outbreaks, their psychiatric admissions, all these painful experiences as yours, less overwhelming because it is able to laugh at themselves and laugh at home, with loud sound that she and I relieved myself relax. Their stories, their thoughts, their words have been empty ever becoming a vital area, not just my program, but also my life .(... ) "



Y for which still have doubts about the quality of the book only a sample:

Non-Place

I'm there.
This here has no name, no money order
before anything.
I am there,
in No-place,
in a well, no sense
climbs
without sleep disturbances.
I am there,
in No-place,
madness.

We look forward to get our hands on this very interesting book by the author of the poem "To all of them." César M.

I can not stop thinking about Japan. It's terrible. Thousand emotions going through my mind and soul. Impossible to explain. I've been to Japan

My Kitten Has Upper Respiratory Infection

A rookie in the Institute

Everyone has come that feeling of uncertainty when we move from school to school. A feeling almost even fear. What will happen now, what's that hazing, how many people have ...

Well, Maybe that was my first impression after stepping on a Mental Health Unit, formerly known to me as a psychiatrist.

thought to get users going to see, prior to my patients, running without meaning to and fro, screaming and some of them in a corner without any contact with anyone.

And all this was fitted with a shield, which was to avoid any eye contact with them, and a sword of attention if that actually happened, sword melted in a few seconds of being there.

As the days passed, I realize that all these ideas become emptied and all becomes much more enjoyable.

I notice that you can work a lot with them, and that they can see improvement.
That many activities in a school may be a tedious, here are highly valued and even considered an award and a pleasant distraction.

Users of Mental Health Unit are people with an illness like any other, and we treat them as such.

They appreciate everything you do for them and try to participate in whatever they can.

I realized that it is they who have the wand of conductor and it is they who should be responsible and take control of their disease, because we are here to help, but not to direct their lives.

I've also discovered some fascinating things in mental illness. Because one thing is to study the symptoms of a disorder, schizophrenia and other see it live and direct. One can not make the idea.

we believe that the career professionals in the field, that there is not much more to learn, and actually came away with a knowledge base and contact with the users when they begin to learn truth started to be professional and all this with your help.

users help us to acquire knowledge while helping others in similar conditions, hence the need to give them an active role in the treatment and thus improve their conditions as far as possible and as quickly as possible.

Finally comment that the days fly past practices, and with the help of the people admitted to different units, the job becomes much easier and rewarding.

How To Heal Skin Indentations

EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMI VICTIMS AND SOMETIMES YOU WANT LISTEN



The year was 1967, I was only 8 years old. One Saturday night in July shook my life. For the first and only time in my life, I knew it was an earthquake. Everything you hear, read and see is true. Each is described in its way, but true. When I told someone that has not gone through this experience I have a feeling that I have understood. I have a reputation for exaggerated and always say no, I'm not. I'm only descriptive. To say that something is 10 centimeters to tell you do a lot of fuss. And the receiver does not know me say ... this is an exaggeration. No, I am ... I am very descriptive.

No matter the comment you can do ... no exaggeration, it is passion, eagerness to tell. So, whenever I tell my experience of the 1967 Caracas earthquake the person who lived not think I was overstated.
Every time I see images on TV on any earthquake, my mind goes back to that time I lived there in 1967. Not only the tremor, is the roar of the earth. That feeling of being unable to control anything. You go out into the street in search of a safe place and not know where to get you, because on the street everybody is running in opposite directions. Nothing is safe.
Whenever I watch TV and see that there has been an earthquake somewhere, think about how you feel these people ...
In a very short time have been a very devastating series of earthquakes. Concern. Are you telling us something Mother Earth? Some say it is the result of the experiments of man ... I do not know ... but is disturbing.

's earthquake in Japan two days ago left me cold. Japan is well prepared for earthquakes. And yet it has been so devastating that information, the figures they give are really worrying. Especially when you consider that there is a nuclear power plant in serious trouble ... "Another Chernobyl? Not only have problems with the earthquake, which have terrible side effects, devastating and catastrophic.
The story does not end here. Now come the tsunami, what life was called tsunamis (That mania for people to use foreign words having words in your own language!).


I think of the victims, I think in a country paralyzed. I think what is coming. There are countries that are not as prepared for something.
I can only pray. I hope the apocalyptic messages that come from everywhere not triumph over love, effort, solidarity and human kindness.
pray for the victims, is all I can say ...

Does Peroxide Really Work On Genita Wa

Thoughts

Today, among all of us at the workshop blog and after a quick brainstorming, we have chosen the following topics: why did my illness?, the ropes of life and my thoughts. Here is the result.

AR (man diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia) why my illness began?
"I was working in the field and suddenly became a friend for me. I felt a fear, I felt a terrible fear in my mind. I said I threw something in the drink but did not seek medical help and I let it go. A friend I said "seek psychiatric help" but thought "they are mixed, also I said that to make me think I was crazy and I wanted to commit suicide, until my mother noticed and I interned in a psychiatric hospital. Was very weak, then I realized I was mad and crying day after day locked in the asylum of my people .

PM (woman diagnosed with bipolar disorder).: My thoughts
"I strongly disagree with having to be hospitalized, especially so long. I particular, I have a bipolar disorder, manic crisis experiment sometimes but not always I have been hospitalized, I was in crisis. I was just experimenting to have a change of life and more specifically a change of partner and have many things to do, going to lead a quiet and peaceful life in a small hyperactivity. My partner has listed my hyperactivity as a crisis and has called the police and the ambulance to stop my foot and could not leave my house and not the island. When the police will flock located and whether you want to spend or not to be detained, in handcuffs if you refuse or tied to a stretcher, if you do it voluntarily. The police are usually quite aggressive and ambulance doctors are in the habit get you a shot to the left you KO a few hours.
When you can wake up you feel awful. First you're in the emergency waiting room plan. In emergencies it's chaos, several stretchers in the hallways, it becomes almost impossible to get the attention of a nurse and you're dehydrated and all medications that you have clicked just like that, without asking anything to see if you really are in crisis or you've just had a day a little more difficult than usual. It is as if suddenly the whole system back against you and you simply were someone with a sign in the front that reads "I'm bipolar" and therefore you can do whatever they want with my body, from several months locked up , or Medicaid to faint or have me tied to a bed or a long list of humiliations.
J.
(Man diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia) why my illness began?

"My illness began when an individual, known as the Devil, insisted that my head did not work very well, something creándome vegetative state. For example, this guy is a crazy old man who kills a child so much like an old lady, in short, a living dead. This was followed with schizophrenia until we approached the year 2000, then it was time to do something and fix everything once and for all. "

CCC (man diagnosed with schizophrenia). : My thoughts
"I felt manipulated by my neighbors how? With phone calls, sympathy with my neighbors and children, I was submissive. Can not understand how a people in their right mind would enjoy hurting you. What I learned is that we are sinners. I have been submissive and have suffered since my teens. These people have been cruel to me. "

JACD (man diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia) why the disease begins?
"I am not an expert in psychiatry but I am a sick minded and ill for three decades. I know better than good know, I lived in my same symptoms of mental illness. About how or why mental illness strikes I think we all have a gene to which we are bound, there have hereditary diseases, but I think when it comes to the mind, it must be under some circumstances, can be toxic motif leads or helps to have a psychosis, alcohol does not know to what extent it can be harmful.

At the beginning of stay for mental illness was used to compensate for psychosis methods such as insulin, electroshock, turpentine played on one leg for the pain did balance. Situations or obstacles that do not fit start to cause a psychosis, which is intensifying, and triggering a series of alterations to dopamine, a substance in our brains and do we get to be like people with diabetes that the pancreas does not work : in our minds the levels of these substances do to deregulate and let's be mentally ill, there are also cases where that comes from repente.De outbreak there's a lot to say but no one knows for certain the truth. "

C. (man diagnosed with schizophrenia): why my illness began?

"My house in ruins, an alcoholic father and a sensitive mother ... My despair was just one more and not one less, so I fell in love with a girl back in 2006. She refused and everyone came up falling into a deep depression. "

B. (man diagnosed with schizophrenia): why my illness began?
" My illness began at 16, when I went to a hospital for the first time. I was a bit nervous and not sure what happened there, I think it was a discussion I had at home and in the hospital I talked to the doctor and explained what happened and later went out and I was cured ".

Anonymous: My thoughts / life Ties

" My thoughts are sports first, then shopping and being with my friends, I like to think of being a quiet and peaceful person.

Ties pass that to me is that I think badly of my dad but I do not care much, I am also upset about not get along with them, I hope to overcome it.

I like making new friends, being with my family, watch sports and have fun playing video game, also I like watching Formula 1 and guess who will win and bikes I also like ".

E (man diagnosed with schizophrenia).: My thoughts /

disease

" When I was at home listening to music and was surrounded by objects that were around my aura. Standing, dancing and thinking that I would like to take this. As I was reading a book called between Heaven and Hell William Blake "The windows of perception", and suddenly I knew I had something similar to what I was diagnosed here in the hospital. Something like a little restless, the disease that I still can not believe is there to evolve, the meaning of what I said the doctor, and after not even believe it. Why? The souls of my spirit follow the project until the objection, I still can not believe it when my illness started thinking that was not as now, much as I say I do not know the side effects later I knew I hid a world wisdom, but the idea may or may not have it when the best was started and had to look no further than now.

melancholic music





Yes, indeed. Sometimes you just want to hear that kind of music. I confess that recently I've avoided listening to it. It is not the best thing for me right now. It's like going to the cinema to watch a movie when you're sad depression. NO needs. However, there
beautiful songs that reflect that mood: sadness, melancholy, etc..

I had not write anything about my music. And this kind of music has also been part of my time ... HAPPY LIFE

- Alex why you want to elope if the specialists here are doing everything they can for you?, And you'll be fine and you will go high ... and you were going on leave.

- But I'm okay John, I have nothing.

- Watch Alex, when I was diagnosed with a mental illness is that you and I've been watching and from what little I know about psychiatry I see evil, you are not to leave. You do not look that bad feeling you have, this distrust and sure there are many symptoms that go through your mind and guards. Here no one is living, this is a hospital. When time passes and you learn to have patience and you are relaxed and the doctors you are discharged, you will see that I was right. Alex, it does not know if it will help much, because now you see all black for your illness, but when that time comes, you'll see as you realize that I was right.

A. Leak

If one partner wants to escape the hospital, I would tell him not to, because the cure is worse than the disease, because there you go, the street is not the right place for a sick person, and there's the police who would take the time.

Fuga JASS

If someone tells me run away I would say, quiet, nothing happens, no escape, that after its run take longer to discharge and harder to leave. That calm, that plant is going to watch television, go with him where there are people to talk and that tranquil, to take away that he left, that will keep your head.

Fuga

R.

I would say that if you do not want to be here to call the court next Friday and is in perfect condition to do so and request voluntary discharge. Comes the judge, please. It is our exit

E. Leak

a colleague told me that I have in the hospital who wanted to escape and I advised him not to, because there was still time, to wait a few days the high is about to arrive. The colleague who was next to me suggested that I controlled. As the guy was crazy and kept saying so and I said no, and he followed. In the end he would see to see why he wanted it and the doctor told me no attention to her about the pills that had to be taken, that he spoke not, that although there is no other doctor gave them and I was nervous because he said he felt nervous about taking this medication. At the end he escaped and then seized the moment, they brought him back to hospital. It was, he said, to see the bride and then, though it was a bit heavy so hard to tell it was going to leak, it did not take the pills, which wanted to send another medication. He ignored the doctor and is now recovering from the side effects of medicine prescribed, and even laughed with the joke. Is waiting to go. Then I kept telling him to escape but in jest, as even the doctor told me when I was talking to him that if he continued with that, wait for the final.

This disease of KMW

This disease is a drag. A few months ago was very wrong, was ecstatic, I'm depressed. I do not speak, I am always quiet, good ideas do not flow in my head. I feel that I'm not myself. Not hold a conversation with him, I'm locked and I have no desire for anything. For me this disease is very difficult because I'm always among one of the two phases. When I go to my house on weekends is still worse, even more overwhelmed me and I'm always alone. It also affects me not having friends. Whenever I have a blank mind and I'm not happy.

A. Drug

I a boy or a girl who was drugged in some way, all there, I would tell him not to, because that is the way that only leads to ruin, both physically and mentally. Not to mention the problems that would cause his family and rejected by their friends and society in general.

Take another road, laddie! JA

are too young to consume toxic but no age is really good for that. Alcohol self-monitoring, such as drinking to cool in the summer or accompanying a meal, fine. You should not look beyond your own natural substances that gives your brain. Cannabis causes psychotic episodes and marijuana has many hallucinogens are very bad for health, cocaine is the hardest next to heroin and alcohol. In excess, all we've been stuck in that world, we realize that not only lead to destruction and we leave the subject, see life from the other side of the coin and appreciate the things we have not seen before: the contact nature, sports, family, you end up losing it and it is also illegal, even for your own consumption you can see in trouble and end up behind bars judicial, losing freedom and exposing yourself to psychological torture, whereby if you get to leave you a hard time recovering. Take another route boy!

Nikosia in Tenerife. Reflections.

After the fantastic Radio Nicosia seminar presented by Raul Velasco and Joan G ª Olera in the Aula Magna Guajara Campus of the University of La Laguna thousand conflicting ideas came to do not let me sleep ( well, maybe that one little seedy in the next room will also help it ) but the fact is that talk can not leave us indifferent (should not) who worked on this in the "mental health ".

"What are we doing?, Why we do it, for whom? ... and affected, anyone has asked them what they need?, what they say? ... And if you do not really know or what we do or what we do, and those affected by severe mental health problems or are expected in this debate ... the question is can we change the present model? For what it is increasingly clear is that we must at least try.

Nicosia Radio Seminar in Tenerife

nikosianos

The first person we spoke of his project, his experience. Project that has given voice and empowerment ( go ugly word, with English sounds pretty ), whose keys should be integrated (etched) in any socio-health system that aims to help / support these people their recovery process. Key

as respect, listening skills, use a word, affection (" cariñoterapia" called it), humility, the horizontal ... are essential and are the only concepts that should be considered LAW (" little word of the child Jesus" says the Canaries ). The rest (scales, NAND, DSMs ,...) are only tools. Tools (not forget) that arise from the consensus, nothing more. POSE have to be useful but should never blind us to what really matters. And the important thing should always be the PERSON. And I go further, if these tools keep us abreast of what's really important we should start to consider whether these tools are necessary, or rather, for who they are needed.

How important is the return call on the concerned, focus on the complaint and put aside the diagnosis. If you hear "voices" why we strive to translate into a language invented by the professionals (psychosis or thought disorder ...). Human beings are unique and our personal stories are unique and should be respected, help those affected to seek their own path to recovery from the humility and patience. Do not steal YOUR voice.

When we began the journey of this blog felt the need to put our grain of sand this way (" ... bed to flow to the river," said Alfredo Olivera as Raúl reminded us) and we thought insistently on the idea that " OTHER MENTAL HEALTH MAY ."

After more than a year trying to get his head to hear us, sometimes I find myself lowering the tone of the statement "Another Mental Health, ... you may " and even I have a gray day in which I choice but to ask:

" Another mental health possible? "

I still think something is moving, not least nikosianos far today have come to Tenerife and have shaken kicked in an environment as academic as the Aula Magna of the ULL the foundation of much dogma and a lot of preconceived idea about themselves (the affected) and on the system and even on society.

Something is moving around us and things are moving in other countries such as the Nordic and Anglo with powerful anti-stigma movements, movements of pride for the difference, comprehensive approaches to support ( Scotland, UK Tidal model ...).

I liked the truths that have brought us Raúl and Joan to Tenerife. Perhaps truths uncomfortable for some professionals, true professionals "intolerable for others", but true. Great truths.

A light ray of hope amid so much darkness never hurts.

back soon!

Funny Names To Write On Halloween Headstones

My experience of madness

Here you have a new partnership Diana, this time gives us his vision of what "Madness" for her.

"I was driving and suddenly I had been my idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the madness, its meaning ... (my personal experience but just people who read it can be reflected in the written ).

For me it is an extreme, powerful, urgent, an attempt by man to get rid of belief systems or established mental patterns, taxes, either by ourselves or abroad. ; That makes us feel as limited beings when our nature is not.

When a person enters a state psychotic shows, so we could say literally, that to which we cling to, what we are deeply attached and that it collapses, it expires. It literally shows the mental idea we have about it. The mind expands and shows what they think, or what has been "forced" to believe. The person, therefore, in the psychotic state feels a tremendous fear for what is perceived, not understood but which threatens your world, a world that is assumed to be real but it is not in its literal sense. Hence the feeling of loss of identity, confusion, death ...

The more the person will resist change, stronger and more powerful the outbreak. Also, the stronger the outbreak, the more strength you have, tell us, from outside, clinging tremendously, we are attached to this idea in its literal sense to the person lives.

therefore those accompanying persons experiencing these episodes have to be extremely caring, compassionate, and also be the anchor point of the sufferer, and that at times you may lose all reference . The duration of these episodes, one from outside can not do much (except to remove the person with medication).

When we distance ourselves, not to identify with what we perceive to be as powerful, when we see the subtlety, which implied that process brings, when we see the symbolic, the metaphorical there it is when we release that we neurosis, is when we understand that state and renewed, feeling lighter, freer of conflict, transformed. This is the work once the person has left the crisis and to have the desired outcome for health professionals and patients should be a collaborative work. Only patient has all the information, only the patient knows all its reality, but may lack the tools that make you stay in balance. That's where it enters the professional's work.

(Well, the idea came to me was a feel but wanting to express it is still not widespread and is reflected all that want. In fact the words do not do much, and if you try analyze much in the end get more confuse than to clarify.)

I wanted to pass down this idea and thought that the same is a good idea to share it. So if you somehow think that would be good to reflect it in the blog, I am free to do so. For that we are, to work and try to help within our means.

A hug! "

prosecutor Letter Radio Nicosia

This is a letter from Christopher Francisco Fabrega, Prosecutor of the Section for Protection of Persons with Disabilities in the Office of Jaén: An exercise approach to the struggle and aspirations of people with mental illness, a statement against the injustices that fall on this group, a call to the sanity of a society that ignores and despises the fool because.

During the last few weeks has really hit down on Wall Jumping. Do not want to fan the flames of the controversy on the net about an item probably not malicious, but it has lifted a curtain of prejudice we thought overcome within the health system.

And it hurt us to contemplate the landscape, making more aware of the need for a firm and constant struggle, a non-negotiable and tenacious defense of the rights of persons with mental illness.

And we have found relief in these words ...

"I know what people say about me because I can not hide the bad reputation that I have, even among the most foolish. But I'm the only one, yes, the only one, when I want, I laugh at the gods and men. And proof of this is that as soon as I started talking to this large audience, your faces are lit by new and unaccustomed joy. You smoothing the frown accompanied your applause with a hearty laugh and nice (...) I have seen just appear, you have been drawing a new face. Kind of like when a new bright sun shows its face to the earth, or when a spring, driven by a soft breeze, renew the face of things, it gives them a different color and gives them back their youth. With these words, the humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam in The Praise of Folly was that it was submitted. In the nineteenth century German poet Heinrich Heine said: "The true madness may not be anything but the very wisdom that, tired of discovering the nakedness of the world, has taken the wise decision of going mad." And Pinel, considered the great liberator of the madness during the French Revolution added: "Citizen, I am convinced that these madmen are so intractable just because they have been deprived of air and freedom." undoubtedly pleasant visions of the mentally ill that you know that do not correspond with reality. Much tougher, much less pleasant. Enrique González Duro commented at the beginning of his book "Memoirs of a Madhouse" which has its passage through the psychiatric hospital in Jaen and the problems faced in our province the introduction of what then was called "psychiatric reform", which if we ask people in the street on the mentally ill what he really thinks of the mad, the answer would be more or less this: "The crazy I'm afraid, sorrow or disgust. The truth is that I do not worry, they bring me not care. But better not to see or smell. I passed as the Moors and gypsies, the farther the better, do not come to annoy, do not bother, to be removed in the middle, that locked up, as always has been, in a separate place, a site closed, where they are not seen or heard or smelled, where they can be forgotten: Crazy people are from elsewhere and must be in another world. "

I remember when I was a young student of the first courses of law, I had the opportunity to attend a conference that the madness (and called themselves) was held at the headquarters of the CNT of Granada. In those years, early 80's, was beginning in our city psychiatric reform and the call was a certain social unease about what was supposed to "let the lunatics out into the street." Perhaps because it gave me no time to have dealings with the world of mental health, to attend those days. González Duro They gave a lecture on the experience of Jaén. After she opened the floor for questions and ask me if I thought there was madness. His answer was that, medically, the madness does not exist, there is mental illness and logically the mentally ill. I remember many times that answer. Mental illness is an accessory, like any other disease. Personhood, dignity and freedom, carries innate values \u200b\u200bthat inform it, is most important, the substantive. The patient suffering from a mental illness is, above all, a person, a human being. My mate Fernando Santos has an interesting anecdote that reflects what we mean an old prosecutor files a complaint of disability and the defendant goes to his office to be told why. The old Attorney after receiving the person who seems completely lucid and able, studying the documentation and informs: - Oh sure! Are you schizophrenic paranoide.Y the good man replied: - Excuse me, Mr. Prosecutor. What I am is a plumber and, sometimes, I get sick. Illuminating anecdote.

Let us add that the personal development of human beings knows no bounds. A person with a mental illness also known. For only put a few examples of what Vallejo-Najera called "crazy egregious" that are mainstays of our cultural and historical memory: "In art the painter Vincent van Gogh, psychotic and had to be admitted to the hospital of Saint-Remy .- In religion San Juan de Dios, Juan City who, after being admitted to a lunatic asylum in Granada, founded the Hospitaller Order which bears his name after checking conditions treated allí.-mathematician John Nash, Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994 for his theory of balance, which was admitted several times due to his schizophrenia and whose life inspired the movie "A Beautiful Mind" won several Oscars, and well as reflecting family and social support, and can afford to live a life completely normalized Mozart enfermo.-musician, suffers from depression and many other virtuosos of the music. Artists, saints and scientists. Mentally ill. People. Men and women can get where they want with a little support and understanding. Humans

with the primary right and we all that, surprisingly, is not enshrined in our constitution, even if it is in the preamble of the Declaration of Independence of the United States July 4, 1776: the pursuit of happiness. It is symptomatic that the first European to be the psychiatric hospital of Our Lady of the Innocents in Valencia, founded in 1409 by Fray Juan Gilabert Joffre, commander of the Convent of Our Lady of Mercy, after seeing some young people made fun of a poor patient of insanity. Are no doubt innocent people with the same capacity as others to be happy or unhappy, and they need the support against the barriers imposed by their illness.

From Protection Sections for People with Disabilities has long called Andalusian associations concerned and the family be given the right opportunity. This is not going to solve everything, not have all the answers, nor will the problem disappear. We all know that mentally ill people need medical treatment, but also a profound social intervention, and why not, a strong legal protection of their rights and risks that legal and social life, their situation generates. We have very clear maximum of Hippocrates for physicians: "If you can heal, cure, if you can not cure, palliative, if you can not soften, listen." Kant said that the madness (and sorry to use, once again, a word loaded with negative connotations) is the replacement of common sense by sense. Why is it so difficult to understand and we even get so scared. But to understand we have to listen to those who live and suffer the problem. We have to approach them. Closer to your struggle and your desires.

finish now. I want to do with a poem by Bertolt Brecht, no doubt we all know and who calls us to intervene when there is still time for people who are at risk as a way to save ourselves:

"First they took the Communists, and I said nothing because I wasn'ta communist. Then they took the Jews and I said nothing because I wasn'ta Jew. Then they came for the workers, and said nothing because there was neither workers nor sindicalista.Luego interfered "with the Catholics, and I said nothing because I was protestante.Y when they finally came for me there was nobody left to protest."

Seminar: healthy insanity in its purest

gives us great joy to announce the seminar, at the hands of the Official College of Psychologists of Tenerife and the Faculty ULL Psychology, will present the next March 1 in the Aula Magna Guajara Campus of the University of La Laguna two prominent members of the Nicosia Radio collective. Entry is free as the venue. We leave

information act and the Nicosia Radio project.

.

Nikosia Radio consists of some 45 voices, once a week take over the radio dial Contrabanda in the Plaza Real de Barcelona. There are 25 people, sometimes more, who meet to shape the attempt to speak of madness from the voice that suffer, so let go of the possibility of an underground type of policy, some militants from the margin, finally, here is reinvented as a kind of catharsis that opens new doors. Nicosia Radio chides madness, questions, takes refuge in it, eject, redefines, places it in the place of normal, hugs, living with her and her whims, the suffering. It is a full cross-radio station by people with different types of mental problems, people who seek to communicate and communicate as a strategy towards deconstructing the foundations of their own suffering. Radio Nicosia came
inspired Colifata, that station run by patients who work 18 years ago inside the Hospital José T. Borda of the city of Buenos Aires. The main objective of this first initiative was to carry out therapeutic work from the restoration of the network and individual assessment of internal speech, as a way to work in health as or more efficient than the implementation of hospital the same devices. The task of the radio focuses on reconstructing and personal identity (as a person) of each patient in a rescue that is carried through the recovery of speech, of the appreciation of the particularities of each statement and its vehiculización to through
means of communication.
Perhaps most interesting about this radio is not so much his birth, but the fact that even those 18 years past continue to sound from the hospital and has been installed facing the company and to Argentina's health system as an effective tool in level of awareness and public awareness and at the same time, as a device of proven therapeutic value to specific results in the continued well-being of patients.
yet, and no apparent expiration date, each Saturday in the hospital courtyards meet between 20 and 50 patients (some specifically for returning externships radio) that coordinated by Alfredo Olivera, a psychologist and director, along with a multidisciplinary team of professionals, start up the station. This is the moment that we all work beyond their physical walls and symbolic of the institution.
For its part, Radio Nicosia is the result of a reworking approaches theoretical underpinning to the radio broadcasts. A reworking that sought to adapt the experience to a different cultural context in which the mental health field had different structural characteristics and so-called
users were involved in a logical one, with regard to your need. This reprocessing and the circumstances and specific dynamics of the experience led to the emergence of practices and conceptualizations of their own.

DAY OF LOVE - HEART HAVE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE




Today is that day so commercial use of many to sell and other As you love to communicate.
I like to have a day of love ... Why not? But I also confess that I would love to be manifest in many other ways, every day of the year.
have to have a heart for many things. Not just to love your mate.
have to put love in many things: your work (if available). Although perhaps the majority do not have the ideal job and enjoy it. In these times we must be grateful if you have a job. From personal experience it is hard to deal with work that you do not like. But I also learned that despite love it if you put a lot of things are smoothed.
must have love for your friends. Ultimately they are the ones who are always there for you. And if You need not have failed you, the best gift you can give is "all your love"
The love of family. And yes, I know. There are families and families. But as far as I am concerned I have had parents who showed me (since I came to the world) beautifully unconditional love and generous. What better gift to give all my love at this stage of your life that need care and affection.
And love partner? Well, this is the most difficult to describe. Although I have no such love in my life, I've been with both hands and I do not regret a second of it has been given. And no doubt reappear at the moment is appropriate.
For my part I have so much love inside me that I do not hesitate not a moment to show it and share it (in the form of pampering, scolding, laughter, silence to listen to my loved ones) and especially feel it in everything around me. There are many forms of love and have to live in the same way that I breathe and I move.
May every day be filled with love.
HAPPY LIFE!

The flag number six, The Alienist and The Hospital of the Transfiguration's Workshop Blog

have recently fallen into my hands three books, geography and ancient times, which, however, beyond a superficial reading, messages containing essentially overlap.

Tsarist Russia, colonial Brazil in the late nineteenth and early months of World War II in Poland, are the scenarios in which framed the experiences of three men engaged in psychiatry in environments oppressive and unjust, which end up being an essential part of their own processes of transformation.

But one thing ...

Ward No 6 is a narrative written in 1892 by A. Chekhov. The aforementioned flag is the dilapidated building and a miserable rural hospital which is home to rare wild with the village.

The narrative takes us into the routine and hopeless life of Dr. Andrei Efímich Raguin and its relationship with Ivan Dmitrievitch, held in the psychiatric ward number six is \u200b\u200bsuffering from a persecution mania, with the arrogant and brutal Nikita, keep the flag, and some of his countrymen and contemporaries.

The main character, stoic philosophy-loving intellectual, missing the existence of anxiety in people and believes that the society we live in is sad and penniless. Only one person will be able to dazzle you with his eloquence and fascinating view of life: Ivan Dmitrievitch, one of the inmates in this inhospitable place.

The outcome of story is announced by a leading doctor stark sentence: " My illness is just that in 20 years I found more than a smart person in the whole town, and this is a lunatic."

The author ends the story with a disturbing but inescapable final and loyal to the plot: " Now everything, even the genuine interest of my friends dragged me to one thing only: to my doom. This is the final and I have the courage to admit it. "

The Alienist by Machado de Assis is not only a fun book, besides possessing a subtle humor and clever satire of the genre scene of nineteenth-century colonial Brazil, but a brilliant metaphor for many of the absurdities of psychiatry, confusions and miseries. This story shows in its few pages a summary of the main concerns are not externalized Machado de Assis: identity, the separation between normal and abnormal, the struggles and political overtones, the marriage relationship, friendship, social concerns money, status.

's work in its central line, it is graceful and simple: a Brazilian doctor, graduated in Lisbon rejects the proposals of being a doctor of the court or a university professor to return to his hometown and to engage in scientific study and experimentation. His specialty is psychiatry. In order to study and remedy the ills of madness, a mental construct, Casa Verde, in the most beautiful street Itaguaí and fifty windows are opened, painted green on each side of the building. With the grant of the City and payment of boarding wealthy, began the great work begins, as expected, with the detention of any person acting out any sign of abnormality. These limits are extended and there comes a time when virtually the entire population should be hospitalized. Hence, the psychiatrist, the sage Bacamarte Simão, concludes that the abnormal is normal, and releases the first intern crazy to sane cases. The ending left it in the air, but what else could make all collapsed Simao saw his theories?

HOSPITAL The Transfiguration is the first novel by Stanislaw Lem, unpublished until now in Castilian, a devastating piece about the Nazi occupation of Poland. Completed in Krakow in September 1948 and set in the early months of the invasion of Poland by the Nazis, The Hospital of the Transfiguration tells the story of Stefan Trzyniecki, a young doctor who finds employment in a psychiatric hospital located in a remote forest, a place that seems "out of the world." But little by little, madness is leaking outside the walls of the hospital. A series of sadistic doctors, co-Trzyniecki, atrocious experiments are given to the mentally ill in the facility, while the Nazis, who combed the woods in search of partisans, decided to convert the hospital in an SS hospital. Lem, one of the undisputed masters of twentieth century European fiction, this novel evokes all that is monstrous in the human spirit

In the Throughout this story, the protagonist, through contact with various characters, like the beautiful and mysterious Dr. Nosilewska or Sekulowski poet, began an accelerated learning vital reminiscent of the protagonist of The Magic Mountain, Mann. But when the SS troops pursuing a partisan approach to hospital events are a cruel twist ...
Sekulowski says in one of his long talks with the doctor:
"- do not know more about our body on the star more distant, "the poet whispered.
" Come to know the laws that govern ...
"And it turns out that most of the biological theory have their antithesis. Scientific theories are a true psychic gum.

Apart from the enjoyment of these three readings, I'll stick with these and other questions:
- where is the boundary between the different and pathologically different?
- Who put that line?
- science is omnipotent? we are professionals?
- what we improved in the field of mental health and what remnants of last drag?
- have we made so much progress as we strive in evidence?
- are the errors and injustices of the past an issue settled?

Resilience ... "Resiquéee? Redirecting



since by definition it is not:

Resilience is the ability of an individual against adversity, to keep on fighting, with doses of perseverance, tenacity, positive attitude and actions that advance against and overcome current.

E. E. Chavez Yturralde (2006)

Resilience is a dynamic process which results in positive adaptation in situations of great adversity.

Luthar (2000)

Resilience distinguishes two components: the resistance to destruction, that is, the ability to protect its own integrity under pressure and, moreover, beyond endurance, the ability shaping behavior positive life despite difficult circumstances.

Vanistendael (1994)

resilience has been characterized as a set of social processes and intra-psychic possible to have a "healthy" in half insane. These processes are performed over time, giving lucky combinations of attributes of children and their social and cultural environment.

Rutter (1992)

Ability to rise from adversity, adapt, recover and reach a meaningful and productive life.

ICCB, Institute on Child and Family Resilience (1994)

The art of overcoming adversity with his feet on Mother Earth.
Avecia

Jorge Montoya (2006)

generic concept that refers to a wide range of risk factors and their relationship to the results of the competition. You can be the result of a conjunction between environmental factors and temperament, and a type of cognitive ability that some kids even when they are very small.

Osborn (1996)

human capacity to cope with life's adversities, overcome and even be transformed by them.

Grotberg (1995)

Resilience means a combination of factors that allow a child to a man, face and overcome the trials and tribulations of life, and build on them.

Suárez Ojeda (1995)

Resilience is a global response in which are put on protective mechanisms, which is understood not contrary to the valence of risk factors, but that dynamic that allows the individual to emerge stronger adversity, in each specific situation and respecting personal characteristics.

Infante (1997)

Personally I prefer a more homespun, resilience would be a mix between strength and "flexibility" staff enables us to adapt, overcome and even "grow" with setbacks that lie existence.

and Mental Health this term becomes more important every day especially when we know that this capacity can "work" as explained in the website of the American Psychological Association:
