Extraordinary Sessions 1
Published in Rubin Battino, Using Guided Imagery and Hypnosis in Brief Therapy and Palliative Care, 2020
Perhaps the most extraordinary example of this was a demonstration by Ernest L. Rossi, Ph.D., at the Erickson Congress in Phoenix in 1992. Before I write more about that, let me point out that the session so affected Rossi that he scrapped his prepared keynote speech for the following day, and essentially spoke about this demonstration. Rossi has written about this in detail in two chapters of his book on the psychobiology of gene expression (Rossi, 2002).2 He seeded the kind of volunteer he wanted with the following opening remarks (Rossi, 2002, p. 302): For most of us, hypnosis is really about healing … is it not? So I would like to ask if there is anyone in the audience this afternoon who is really in an acute state of distress? Chronic distress, physical, mental pain? Someone who really has got an issue that they feel they can do some effective work with this afternoon? So, this is not merely a demonstration, this is the real thing! [emphases in original]

Are there hidden dangers to mobile phone use?
Published in Philip N. Murphy, The Routledge International Handbook of Psychobiology, 2018
Rodney J. Croft, Giuseppe Curcio, Sarah P. Loughran
Health effects from the low-level exposures from mobile phones are not predicted because the resultant heating is too low. There is thus no a priori reason that can guide the search for potential health effects. The question thus is where to start, and how can psychobiology contribute to the search for possible health effects? Historically, face validity has guided the choice of psychobiology tools. For example, given the strong temporal resolution of the electroencephalograph (EEG), as well as its availability in many laboratories, resting and sleep EEG, as well as event-related potentials (ERPs), were used in some of the earliest studies in this area (late 1990s). Computerised neuropsychological assessment was also popular, and measures of cerebral blood flow and metabolism began to be used in the 2000s in the hope that high spatial resolution would prove useful, given that RF EMF is typically strongly directional.
Conceptualization of self-awareness in adults with acquired brain injury: A qualitative systematic review
Published in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2022
Danielle Sansonetti, Jennifer Fleming, Freyr Patterson, Natasha A. Lannin
Descriptive information and brief summaries of the models, conceptual frameworks and theories are presented in chronological order in Table 2. The date range of included papers ranged from 1989–2020, with 26 journal articles and 9 book chapters. The countries of origin of authors included USA (n = 23), Australia (n = 4), Canada (n = 3), UK (n = 3), Italy (n = 2), Switzerland (n = 2), Brazil (n = 1), France (n = 1) and The Netherlands (n = 1). The professional backgrounds of authors included behavioural neurology, clinical psychology, education, neurology, neuropsychology, nursing, occupational therapy, philosophy, physiological psychology, psychiatry, psychobiology, psychology, social sciences, and speech pathology. The target populations for papers included different classifications of non-progressive brain injury: ABI (n = 23), TBI (n = 9), and stroke (n = 3). The types of papers included book chapters, case examples, reviews and empirical research.
The psychosocial genomics paradigm of hypnosis and mind–body integrated psychotherapy: Experimental evidence
Published in American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, 2021
Mauro Cozzolino, Giovanna Celia
Psychosocial genomics (PSG) is the science of how sensory, psychological, social, and cultural signals and stressors modulate gene expression and vice versa within the psychobiology of health and illness. We can speculate on PSG from biographical perspective. PSG originated in Rossi’s drive to seek a dialogue between opposites and in his deep desire to come to terms with his tormented belonging to two worlds – the Italian one of family and origins and the American one, with all the fractures and contradictions he faced since birth (Rossi, 2021). Already in adolescence, Rossi engaged in comprehensive study in biology, chemistry, philosophy, meditation, and yoga. He had an extraordinary capacity for dialogue and synthesis, which allowed him to integrate such diverse disciplines, and this quality pervaded his entire oeuvre. Among Rossi’s extraordinary characteristics were his capacity for inner searching for its own sake, always approaching some completion, lasting throughout his life.
Conceptual and historical evolution of psychiatric nosology
Published in International Review of Psychiatry, 2021
The notion that categorical classification is inappropriate for psychiatry has been brought up from the earliest days. It was one of the criticisms raised against Kraepelin’s nosology (Kendler & Engstrom, 2018). In 1894, Wilhelm Dilthey introduced the distinction between ‘erklaren’ (scientific explanation in terms of general laws) and ‘verstehen’ (understanding in terms of individual personality and biography), with the suggestion that psychiatry must be idiographic and not nomothetic (Harrington, 2000; Pichot, 1994). The anti-categorical attitude assumed greater prominence in 20th century with the rise of Meyerian and psychoanalytic ideas. Adolf Meyer’s concept of ‘psychobiology’ and Freudian psychoanalysis conceptualized mental disorders as reactions of the personality to various life circumstances or products of unconscious mental forces and emphasized the uniqueness of the individual (Pichot, 1994; Stengel, 1959). The Kraepelinian view of diagnosis did not fit well with such an understanding of psychopathology and this led to an over-all neglect of psychiatric classification within the psychoanalytic community. Dimensional and unitary approaches were also influential among psychoanalysts like Karl Menninger (1958), who viewed the various types of mental disorders as different only in their quantitative aspects (i.e., in the degree of disintegration of the personality) (Stengel, 1959).
