Semiotik und Sozialpsychiatrie

More about the book

This collection explores the intersection of semiotics and social psychiatry, highlighting the significance of biosemiotics in human medicine and the semiotic aspects of the placebo effect. It examines the therapeutic metaphor of Valium in everyday understanding and delves into the semiotic explication of fundamental anthropological concepts, including the expression of emotions and semantic controversies in emotion psychology. The work addresses the nature of social psychiatry and the potential for redefinition through psychoses seminars. It analyzes the Reagan effect through a semiotic lens, investigates abduction as a logic for explaining actions, and considers action as a sign process within the framework of rule-following practices in psychiatric acute care. Furthermore, it discusses the relationship between semiotics and individual sciences, particularly in the context of medicine and social psychiatry, and reflects on the language of sectors and health planning implementation, highlighting areas of consensus and conflict, especially in prevention. The collection also includes a presentation on semantic networks as tools for definitions and control in medicine, alongside personal impressions from a traveler and a theatrical exploration inspired by Antonin Artaud.
