What We Need for Encoding of Memory and Emotional Reconsolidation.

Background: It is known that an interactive design and good participants' involvement strengthens the motivation to engage in learning processes. Previous research suggests attitude-behaviour consistency with relevance of subjective meaning and interest in learning. This observational study aims to measure the attitude of medical students.

Personalized treatment - which interaction ingredients should be focused to capture the unconscious.

A recent meta-analysis revealed that mental health and baseline psychological impairment affect the quality of life and outcomes in different chronic conditions. Implementing mental health care in physical care services is still insufficient. Thus, interdisciplinary communication across treatment providers is essential.

Importance of communication in medical practice and medical education: An emphasis on empathy and attitudes and their possible influences.

Background: Healthcare professionals need to be prepared to promote healthy lifestyles and care for patients. By focusing on what students should be able to perform one day as clinicians, we can bridge the gap between mere theoretical knowledge and its practical application. Gender aspects in clinical medicine also have to be considered when speaking of personalized medicine and learning curricula.

Affect regulation in psychoanalytic treatments of patients with a borderline personality disorder-psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy-a comparison.

Background: A recent meta-analysis has confirmed that the effects of psychotherapy on patients with borderline personality disorders (BPD) are still insufficiently understood. Evidence of differences between different types of therapies has been questioned.

Aim: To study repetitive interaction patterns in patients with BPD undergoing either psychoanalysis or psychodynamic therapy.

Future of processing and facilitating change and learning.

The field of the sciences of the mind is evolving fast. With the diversification of knowledge and accumulation of data, often lacking integration and reproducibility, questions arise. The role of critical thinking and research is evident.

Construct Validity of the Mentalization Scale (MentS) Within a Mixed Psychiatric Sample.

The concept of mentalizing is nowadays widely used in research as well as in clinical practice. Despite its popularity, the development of an economic assessment is still challenging. The Mentalization Scale appears to be a promising measurement with good psychometric properties but lacking convergent validity with the Reflective Functioning Scale.

The Emerging Role of Interdisciplinarity in Clinical Psychoanalysis.

Given the tight interconnections proposed between brain and psyche, psychoanalysis was conceptualized as an interdisciplinary theory right from the beginning. The diversification of knowledge performed by different science and technology fields, concerned with the same matter (explaining mind and brain and connecting them), makes this interdisciplinarity even more visible and evident. This challenges the integrative potential lying in psychoanalytic meta-theory.

Encouraging communication and cooperation in e-learning: solving and creating new interdisciplinary case histories.

An increasing number of patients to treat combined with a rapidly growing amount of knowledge to integrate, is challenging for future doctors. To take the medical history and diagnose effectively, to send the patient to an expert, to create a relevant expert to expert communication, to discuss with the patient, the time needed for a decision, should be as short as possible. Investigating medical students' cognitive processes while solving a patient's case leads to the conclusion that educators should help and facilitate these reasoning and communication processes.

Reflective Functioning in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Non-Affective Psychosis and Affective Disorders-Differences and Similarities.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as part of the functional somatic syndromes, is frequent in the general population. Medical care and morbidity costs are high, and so is the psychological and somatic strain. The etiopathogenesis of IBS is still poorly understood; it is assumed to be multifactorial and to include biopsychosocial factors.

Mind reading improvements in mentalization-based therapy training.

The psychological strain of many psychiatric disorders arises from difficulties encountered in social interactions. Social withdrawal is often the first symptom of neuropsychiatric disorders. The authors explore the various options for training social cognition skills.

Relationship between Mentalizing and Working Conditions in Health Care.

Mentalizing describes the human ability to comprehend one's own and others' mental states and is seen as one of the core competencies of psychotherapists. Current research has emphasized the importance of both early dyadic attachment as well as broader sociocultural environmental input on the development of mentalizing. This study investigates whether mentalizing skills, operationalized via reflective functioning (RF), might be influenced by training and working conditions.

Cataract significantly influences quantitative measurements on swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography imaging.

Purpose: To analyze retinal blood flow before and after cataract surgery using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).

Methods: Prospective observational study. Consecutive patients were recruited and scanned using SS-OCTA before and after cataract surgery.
