Overview
The effects of the Mind over the Body have been clearly emphasized in Classical Chinese Medicine for at least 10 centuries. Mind-sets and mental attitudes influence the human responses to the outer world, manifesting as emotions and classified as the inner causes of disease. Understanding the structure of the conscious and subconscious parts of the psyche and unravelling the psychological mechanisms of “Belief systems” and helping to change these in a regular TCM setting is to treat the “Hidden Roots of Disease”.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the subconscious and the concept of Gui≈ghost in Chinese medicine.
- Learn the structure of the Psyche in Chinese medicine and its parallels with Western psychology.
- Understand the concept of physical and psychological health. The relation between the mind and the body.
- Learn how to apply acupuncture protocols for the treatment of the psyche, with clinical examples.
- Learn the workings of the mind and the functions and disturbances of Shen, Hun, Yi, Po & Zhi and Acupuncture treatment strategies.

The Encounter with the Patient: Sparkles and Traps
The main issues in the clinical relationship to improve therapeutic results
with Elisa Rossi
See In StoreOverview
Please Note: This course is presented in English and is verbally translated into German during the presentation.
The workshop focuses on the process of co-building a working alliance.
We discuss some main features of the therapeutic relationship: the structure of communication and the emotional, mental, physical space of the treatment.
We see how to deal with:
the daily management of time, requests, money
the dynamics of empathy and neutrality
the deep movements stirred up by the use needles
the expression of hidden or violent emotions
the yin attitude of “being there”
We work with illnesses and suffering, it is a delicate matter.
The encounter of patient and practitioner requires a specific attention.
To improve therapeutic results we need not to be submerged by what takes place inside the relationship.
The classics give a great attention to it – quotations will be discussed in the workshop.
Clinical cases are given throughout all the issues.
Learning Objectives
- Refer to the Classics and Recognize deep relational movements in given clinical cases
- Paths to deal with dysfunctional behaviours
- Learn how to address the clinical relationship in daily practice. Deal with questions about ethics, communication, clinical interview. Understand how to handle interpersonal issues that arise in the clinic.
- Cope with the therapeutic setting, empathy, expression of emotions, silence and words. Not be invaded or drifted away by what may happen during the treatment. Use a yin attitude of “being there”
- Why we have chosen this profession, what deep needs it responds to, how we deal with it all
