In Chinese medicine, emotional disorders and mental illnesses are classified as emotion-will (Qing Zhi) disorders. Emotion-will, i.e. seven emotions (Qi Qing: happiness, anger, anxiety, pensiveness, sorrow, fear, and fright) and five wills (Wu Zhi: happiness, anger, thinking, sorrow, and fear), play a basic role in the onset, progress and prognosis of almost all diseases, not only the mental illnesses. The emotion-will overcoming therapy (EWOT) is defined as a psychological approach that a therapist employs single or multiple emotions to overcome and eliminate patients’ abnormal morbid emotions and to heal mind-body disorders derived from the abnormality. EWOT lays a foundation for the philosophical foundation of Chinese medicine, i.e. Yin and Yang, and five elements, which is believed to be the most commonly utilized and effective modality in dealing with mental illnesses. This essay covers the origin and development, underlying mechanism, clinical application, basic researches of emotion-will system and EWOT and the comparison with conventional therapies. Thus, EWOT could draw more attention in the field of psychology and spread in clinical practice.展开更多

The increasing need for readily available mental health services, coupled with the swift advancement of novel technologies, prompts conversations over the viability of psychotherapy approaches using engagements with AI. Despite the positive impacts, there are recognizable drawbacks associated with the application of AI in psychotherapy. Establishing a therapeutic alliance is difficult for non-human entities. Psychotherapy is a task too complex for limited artificial intelligence. AI appears capable of handling jobs that are clearly defined and relatively straightforward. Besides, AI malfunctions, data confidentiality, informed consent, and risk of bias are potential concerns. We present a literature update of possible solutions to overcome these concerns.展开更多

This Series paper examines the social, political, and economic reasonsfor this problem. First, this paper highlights the power of the commercial milk formula (CMF) industry to commodify the feedingof infants and young children;influence policy at both national and international levels in ways that grow and sustain CMF markets;and externalise the social, environmental, and economic costs of CMF. Second, this paper examines how breastfeeding isundermined by economic policies and systems that ignore the value of care work by women, including breastfeeding, and by theinadequacy of maternity rights protection across the world, especially for poorer women. Third, this paper presents three reasonswhy health systems often do not provide adequate breastfeeding protection, promotion, and support. These reasons are thegendered and biomedical power systems that deny women-centred and culturally appropriate care;the economic and ideologicalfactors that accept, and even encourage, commercial influence and conflicts of interest;and the fiscal and economic policies thatleave governments with insufficient funds to adequately protect, promote, and support breastfeeding. We outline six sets of widerangingsocial, political, and economic reforms required to overcome these deeply embedded commercial and structural barriersto breastfeeding.展开更多
