Abstract

Language is intimately linked with knowledge. In psychiatry it is initially focused upon the patient and proves to be a natural language. When the studies are extended to the social environment, the use of statistics and more general properties orientates it towards logico-mathematical abstractions. Finally in order to respect the singular and universal aspect of the mentally sick person, the logical operations are integrated within the discourse. It is the case especially for the systemal method, for interdisciplinary studies and retroactive study of the observer's own ways of thinking. In this way it is eventually possible to extract organic laws. In conclusion psychiatric language proves to be an instrument of communication for the person, within himself and with the outer world, taking the shape of a wider and wider spiral, better and better expressing phenomena with singular et universal meanings.

[Sexual development in the light of socio-cultural changes].

This article briefly summarizes central components of theories of sexual development and outlines that these components depend largely on socio-cultural factors. A cultural change of human sexuality is reflected by several phenomena such as the public debate about sexual violence and its consequences, a diminuation of gender differences and a turn away from monosexuality, tremendous changes within the world of partner relationships and a mediatization of sexuality. This mediatization is paralleled by a public sexualization as well as a de-sexualization of the private sphere together with an increase of a loss of sexual desire reflecting well-known problems of human sexuality. Finally, it has to be stated that sexuality has experienced a demystification as a consequence of socio-cultural changes following the sexual liberalization.

Teaching professional values in a BSN program.

Values are core to the practice of nursing, determining priorities in healthcare and forming the foundation of relationships with clients. Specific values have been recognized as essential to professional nursing practice and are considered central content within a baccalaureate nursing program. While these professional values are identified and defined, there is little guidance in nursing pedagogical literature as to teaching approaches, range and depth of content, and evaluative methods in this area. Clear discussion of an effective educational approach to professional values would be a significant contribution to the discipline of nursing. The paper expands on the brief summary of the five professional values identified by AACN as essential to professional nursing practice. It is easy to understand these values on a superficial level, but these values have many layers and are very difficult to live out in nursing practice. The discussion moves beyond definition and gives specific examples to lend clarity and depth to the topic. The discussion includes common areas in which students have difficulty, noting the inherent challenges for each of the values.
