Where to after Covid-19? Systems thinking for a human-centred approach to pandemics
The COVID-19 pandemic was the biggest public health crisis that the world experienced on a global scale in recent history. It exposed systemic weaknesses and fragilities in health, economic, political, environmental and social systems (Haley, Paucar-Caceres, and Schlindwein, 2021 ). Since the early days of the crisis, governments around the world sought evidence-based management strategies, turning to science to inform decisions (Yu et al., 2021 …
Zur Akzeptanz von Begrenzung und der komplexen Funktion der Affekte
In times of uncertainty, epistemic trust is deeply afflicted. Affective holding, reflection and mentalized affectivity are necessary for containment of affect-cognitive disruptions. The mind’s ability to interact, assess the external world’s reality, and integrate new experiences into existing conceptions is determined by the affective load the respective interplay assigned. Gaining a picture of the world at an acceptable reliability level requir…

To gain insights into the dynamics between these two fields, we gathered opinions from attendees and presenters at an international conference on music medicine, musicians' health, and music therapy. A team of six interviewers conducted a total of 26 semi-structured interviews. The interview guide f…
A Case of Autoimmune Small Fiber Neuropathy as Possible Post Covid Sequelae
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is reported to induce and augment autoimmune processes. Moreover, postinfectious effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are still poorly understood and often resemble symptoms of the acute infection phase. A patient with swollen extremities was presented to the Department of Angiology at the Medical University of Vienna with complaints of muscle and joint pain, paresth…
Individual Perception of Telehealth
Telehealth is a growing domain with particular relevance for remote patient monitoring. With respect to the biopsychosocial model of health, it is important to evaluate perception and satisfaction with new methods in telehealth as part of an integrative approach. The Telemedicine Perception Questionnaire (TMPQ) is a 17-item questionnaire measuring patients' perception of and satisfaction with telecare. We translated this survey into German and de…
Reflective Functioning in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Non-Affective Psychosis and Affective Disorders—Differences and Similarities
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as part of the functional somatic syndromes, is frequent in the general population. Medical care and morbidity costs are high, and so is the psychological and somatic strain. The etiopathogenesis of IBS is still poorly understood; it is assumed to be multifactorial and to include biopsychosocial factors. Links between the intestine, psyche, nervous system (e.g., via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA-Axis…
The Impact of Social Isolation during the Covid-19 Pandemic on Physical and Mental Health
Adolescence is a complex developmental phase, made more complex by obesity and the social isolation imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The literature related to the impact of social isolation on obesity self-management in adolescents is scant and inconsistent. This paper describes the phenomenon from the perspectives of a sample of adolescents with obesity enrolled in an inpatients' multidisciplinary rehabilitation program for weight-loss and thei…
Implementing a Clinical Research Department to Support Pediatric Studies
The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of most drugs used in pediatrics have not been studied in different age groups and are administered "off-label use". Clinical pediatric drug trials require specific and stringent compliance with laws, regulations, guidelines, and patient/parent/public involvement, which in turn increases resource use and makes support useful from a medical, qualitative, economic, and system perspective. We e…
Guaranteed Equal Opportunities? The Access to Nursing Training in Central Europe for People with a Turkish Migration Background
This paper examines the reason for the small percentage of professional nurses with a Turkish migration background and investigates possibilities to increase this low amount. Our society grows older, and the number of chronic diseases increases. Furthermore, nursing professionals tend to migrate, and the retirement of the baby boomer generation will also create a lack of professional nurses in Vorarlberg, Austria. People with a Turkish migration …
Relationship between Mentalizing and Working Conditions in Health Care
Mentalizing describes the human ability to comprehend one's own and others' mental states and is seen as one of the core competencies of psychotherapists. Current research has emphasized the importance of both early dyadic attachment as well as broader sociocultural environmental input on the development of mentalizing. This study investigates whether mentalizing skills, operationalized via reflective functioning (RF), might be influenced by trai…

Acute Limb Ischemia after Intake of the Phenylethylamine Derivate NBOMe
Objective : N-(2-methoxy) benzyl-phenethylamine (NBOMe) derivatives have a high affinity to the serotonin receptor 2A and emerged as new psychedelic agents. We report the case of a 30-year-old man admitted to the hospital because of acute ischemia of the left arm with clinical symptoms of pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, and a motoric deficit. The patient had a history of schizophrenia and drug abuse and disclosed during the hospital stay the …
The Human Ecological Perspective and Biopsychosocial Medicine
With regard to philosophical anthropology, a human ecological framework for the human-environment relationship as an "ecology of the person" is outlined, which focuses on the term "relationship" and aims to be scientifically sound. It also provides theoretical orientations for multiprofessional clinical work. For this purpose, a multi-dimensional basic grid for the characterization of the individual human being is proposed. The necessity and mean…
Capturing the Unconscious—The “Psychoanalytic Core Competency Q-Sort”. An Innovative Tool Investigating Psychodynamic Therapeutic Skills
The Psychoanalytic Core Competency Q-Sort (PCC Q-Sort) is a newly developed empirical research tool that allows for the description and illustration of the ways psychodynamically-oriented psychotherapists work. It provides a simple, straightforward rating procedure utilizing a well-established q-sort method. The present pilot study describes the psychoanalytic core competency items and discusses the development procedure of the instrument as well…
