Integrative Medicine, Mindfulness, Hypnosis and EMDR: new frontiers for treatments

14th European Congress of Psychology, 7-10 July 2015, Milan
http://www.ecp2015.it/

Integrative Medicine is gaining attention worldwide both in terms of a complementary and an alternative approach to the conventional therapies. Integrative Medicine has expanded in different categories: alternative medical systems (e.g.,homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine); biologically based practices (e.g., herbs, vitamins, food); mind body medicine (e.g., meditation, autogenic therapy, progressive muscle relaxation) and Mindfulness. Indeed the last 5-10 years have witnessed huge steps and the vast mobilisation of multidisciplinary competences “Toward a Science of Consciousness”, as clearly illustrated in the recent international conference on that topic held in Stockholm under the patronage of the Center for Consciousness Studies of the University of Arizona and of the Perfjell Foundation. At the same time that Science, and especially the Neuroscience and the Physics of consciousness progress, tools and new understanding have been developed that will allow for the transfer of much of that basic Science into clinical practice. This transfer doesn’t only concern the clinical practice exclusively with mental disease but also the regular clinical practice where a patient, using his, or her mind, can influence the progression of disease, becoming what one could rightly call a therapeutic partner.
The need to establish connections between Medicine, especially in the therapeutic aspect (healing), and all the information already obtained from the mind-matter phenomenology has led to much experimentation and theorizing in this border area. The Mind-Body medicine uses the power of thoughts and emotions to a positive impact on maintaining health and in the healing process. The mind-body approaches, particularly those that use the relaxation response and beliefs of the patient, have been found effective in different mental and physical disorders. This is an area where new developments are happening everyday and where there is growing evidence that new techniques like mindfulness, EMDR, hypnosis can influence and alter many physiological processes including the immune system. It stands to reason that further experimentation in this area is, therefore, necessary
