Existential psychodrama, inspired by Moreno, helps schizophrenic patients incorporate the experience of an 'absolutely other' that underpins an autonomous self. Through psychodramatic play, patients engage in original projection, moving outside their pathological world and into another's perspective sensorially and pathically. This creative journey enables them to return to the world better attuned to others and themselves, enacting a true intersubjective encounter. Applying phenomenology, especially Bin Kimura's concept of psychosis as a disorder of the 'aida', the authors aim to advance psychotherapy for psychosis.
A brief 15-minute pause during the workday, whether guided meditative relaxation or unguided rest, was associated with short-term improvements in blood pressure, heart rate, and psychological measures among hospital physicians. Guided meditative relaxation, a structured mind-body approach, led to higher satisfaction scores (8.11 out of 10) compared to unguided rest (6.47 out of 10), but most other outcomes did not differ significantly between groups. The findings are preliminary and need confirmation in larger studies with longer follow-up.
