Anticipation and Medicine by Mihai Nadin Pdf

In this book, practicing physicians and experts in anticipation present arguments for a new understanding of medicine. Their contributions make it clear that medicine is the decisive test for anticipation. The reader is presented with a provocative hypothesis: If medicine will align itself with the anticipatory condition of life, it can prompt the most important revolution in our time. To this end, all stakeholders—medical practitioners, patients, scientists, and technology developers—will have to engage in the conversation. The book makes the case for the transition from expensive, and only marginally effective, reactive treatment through “spare parts” (joint replacements, organ transplants) and reliance on pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, opiates) to anticipation-informed healthcare. Readers will understand why the current premise of treating various behavioral conditions (attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, schizophrenia) through drugs has to be re-evaluated from the perspective of anticipation. In the manner practiced today, medicine generates dependence and long-lasting damage to those it is paid to help. As we better understand the nature of the living, the proactive view of healthcare, within which the science and art of healing fuse, becomes a social and political mandate.

Anticipation and Medicine by Owen Dempsey Pdf

Anticipation in Medicine: A Critical Analysis of the Science, Praxis and Perversion of Evidence Based Healthcare looks at an aspect of healthcare rarely addressed: how the capitalist interest in diagnosis and treatment impacts upon the patient and, by extension, the system of healthcare itself. Using Lacanian structures of discourse, Dr. Owen Dempsey critiques the praxis of scientific Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) applied to anticipatory and preventive healthcare under capitalism and ultimately, what constitutes good care. This book features up-to-date case studies that combine real-life patients and the psychological impacts of anticipatory care such as cancer screening in the modern era. The book identifies the dangers of anticipatory care in medicine and provides compelling and new possibilities for progressing towards a more emancipatory conception of a less knowing, less apparently compassionate, as well as less harmful practice of health care. This is fascinating reading for academics, students and practitioners interested in critical health psychology, the practice of ‘scientific’ medicine, and the politics of health and social care.

Anticipation Across Disciplines by Mihai Nadin Pdf

Never before was anticipation more relevant to the life and activity of humankind than it is today. “It is no overstatement to suggest that humanity’s future will be shaped by its capacity to anticipate....” (Research Agenda for the 21st Century, National Science Foundation). The sciences and the humanities can no longer risk explaining away the complexity and interactivity that lie at the foundation of life and living. The perspective of the world that anticipation opens justifies the descriptor “the post-Cartesian Revolution.” If anticipation is a valid research domain, what practical relevance can we await? Indeed, anticipation is more than just the latest catch-word in marketing the apps developed by the digital technology industry. Due to spectacular advances in the study of the living, anticipation can claim a legitimate place in current investigations and applications in the sciences and the humanities. Biology, genetics, medicine, as well as politics and cognitive, behavioral, and social sciences, provide rich evidence of anticipatory processes at work. Readers seeking a foundation for an ticipation will find in these pages recent outcomes pertinent to plant life, political anticipation, cognitive science, architecture, computation. The authors contributing to this volume frame experimental data in language that can be shared among experts from all fields of endeavor. The major characteristic is the inference from the richness of data to principles and practical consequences.

Anticipatory Systems by Robert Rosen Pdf

The first detailed study of this most important class of systems which contain internal predictive models of themselves and/or of their environments and whose predictions are utilized for purposes of present control. This book develops the basic concept of a predictive model, and shows how it can be embedded into a system of feedforward control. Includes many examples and stresses analogies between wired-in anticipatory control and processes of learning and adaption, at both individual and social levels. Shows how the basic theory of such systems throws a new light both on analytic problems (understanding what is going on in an organism or a social system) and synthetic ones (developing forecasting methods for making individual or collective decisions).

Anticipation Informed Design by Mihai Nadin,Mario Minale Pdf

Design is a form of inventing the future. In some cases, under the pressure of the market, design became problem-solving. This illustrates the fact that, in inventing the future—which is the goal-design develops its own toolbox. This can be used for purposes such as engineering, marketing, social activities. But to reduce design to problem solving is to negate its creative nature. Awareness of possible futures is what drives anticipation-informed design. As opposed to problem-solving, which is usually design-by-commission, anticipation-informed design has a strong ethical dimension: Is the future designers are inventing an expression of respect for the world we live in, or yet another surrender to the pressure of shortsighted self-interest? May this eBook help others adopt anticipation-informed design as their goal. The world we live in is more than ever in need of design that is no longer just a service, but an effective means for disrupting the reality of blindly navigating the choppy waters of a storm that humanity itself created. Trading a meaningful future for a senseless present prosperity undermines sustainability.

Mind, Body, and Medicine by Raphael N. Melmed Pdf

Writing from the unusual perspective of an internist who heads a behavioral medicine unit in a major academic medical center, Raphael Melmed analyzes the mind-body interplay from a physiological viewpoint while drawing on diverse disciplines to demonstrate in a well-rounded way the scientific basis and clinical picture of psychosomatic disorders. He provides a comprehensive analysis of how stress mediates psychosomatic conditions and - for the first time - a description of the physiological basis of the placebo response. He also includes a unifying account of the effects of stress on the immune system consistent with the principles of modern immunology. Among the medical disorders that he discusses in detail are ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus, migraine, lower back pain, other chronic pain syndromes, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. He also covers important psychiatric conditions present in the medical clinic such as panic, other anxiety disorders, depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome. An analysis of the physiological principles underlying cognitive behavioral therapy helps define the essential elements of this widely used technique, and many other chapters contain practical advice on treatment. The book will be a rich original resource for physicians and mental health practitioners.

Anticipation: Learning from the Past by Mihai Nadin Pdf

This volume presents the work of leading scientists from Russia, Georgia, Estonia, Lithuania, Israel and the USA, revealing major insights long unknown to the scientific community. Without any doubt their work will provide a springboard for further research in anticipation. Until recently, Robert Rosen (Anticipatory Systems) and Mihai Nadin (MIND – Anticipation and Chaos) were deemed forerunners in this still new knowledge domain. The distinguished neurobiologist, Steven Rose, pointed to the fact that Soviet neuropsychological theories have not on the whole been well received by Western science. These earlier insights as presented in this volume make an important contribution to the foundation of the science of anticipation. It is shown that the daring hypotheses and rich experimental evidence produced by Bernstein, Beritashvili, Ukhtomsky, Anokhin and Uznadze, among others—extend foundational work to aspects of neuroscience, physiology, motorics, education.
