Rejtett dimenziók konferencia - A betegségek pszicho-szociális háttereHidden Dimensions Conference - The Psychosocial Background of Diseases
Feb-16
To properly perceive an object in space, it is necessary for us to see it in three dimensions. Similarly, this applies to concepts: in order to understand them as accurately as possible, we need to approach them from multiple perspectives.
In everyday life, the concepts of health and illness are generally thought of in a linear fashion, even within professional circles. However, considering the definition of the WHO (World Health Organization), both are clearly multidimensional conditions involving physical, mental, and social interactions. Beyond well-known pathomechanisms, various factors influence the development, course, severity, and responsiveness of diseases. Emphasizing or neglecting these factors can both make the medical act partial.
What factors should we consider when seeking the cause of a disease? How does our ethnic background, for example, affect the course of our illness? What is the current scientific stance on the physical manifestation of psychological traumas? What is the impact of distress on health? Practically, focusing on cases and specificities, through the clash of thoughts and principles, we attempt to approach the multidimensional context of illness at the "Hidden Dimensions - The Psychosocial Background of Diseases" conference organized by the Saint Blaise Foundation.
