Book Synopsis Introducing Anthroposophical Medicine by : Rudolf Steiner
Download or read book Introducing Anthroposophical Medicine written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1999 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These lectures -- the first on medicine by Rudolf Steiner -- outline the foundation for an anthroposophical approach to health and illness. Steiner begins with a discussion of various contemporary views of illness and pathology. He goes on to explore illnesses in relation to the whole human being, looking at the various processes and organs in relation to the human threefold organization. Homeopathy, naturopathy, and allopathy are discussed in the light of the spiritual nature of the human being and in terms of the ways various planets and the cosmos influence healing substances. On the whole, Steiner's approach rests on the long tradition of Western medicine without negating its roots. Perhaps more than anywhere else, Steiner's enthusiasm and familiarity with the subject is in evidence here. Steiner describes many specific illnesses and their treatments and how doctors must develop their ability to diagnose illnesses and prescribe treatments based on their own inner capacities.
Book Synopsis The Anthroposophical Approach to Medicine by : Friedrich Husemann
Download or read book The Anthroposophical Approach to Medicine written by Friedrich Husemann and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's medicine is strongly influenced by natural science, which focuses entirely on the material nature of reality. Molecular biology has become the foundation of modern medicine with the result that today's medical industry chases after technology to solve all its problems. In the process it is losing its own essence as it moves into fields increasingly alien to human nature as a whole. Nevertheless, many doctors are beginning to reexamine this exclusive worldview in favor of a more wholistic approach to healing. To this end, anthroposophical medicine encompasses a wide range of healing modalities, including orthodox, allopathic medicine. The Anthroposophical Approach to Medicine explores the body's relationship to soul and spirit on the basis of Rudolf Steiner's insights into the activities of the spiritual world. Edited by doctors Friedrich Husemann and Otto Wolff, this book invites us to an in-depth view of a true alternative to materialistically oriented medicine. Chapters include essays on childhood development and diseases; the disorders of old age; neuroses and psychological imbalances; pharmacology; healing plants; biochemistry and pathology; blood-work; and special diagnostic techniques. This first of a multi-volume series is an invaluable tool to all who want to extend the practice of medicine to include the whole human being.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to Anthroposophical Medicine by : Victor Bott
Download or read book An Introduction to Anthroposophical Medicine written by Victor Bott and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern times western societies have become increasingly familiar and at ease with many complementary and alternative types of medicine, often derived from eastern sources. Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophical medicine, founded in the early part of the twentieth century, is a renewal of the original sources of western medicine. However, unlike many modern medical practices based on reductionist, materialistic thought, Steiner's truly holistic system encompasses a picture of the human being as an entity of body, soul and spirit. Anthroposophical medicine seeks to bring harmony to these various aspects of the human constitution. Victor Bott, a medical doctor, gives a comprehensive overview of this remarkable system of medicine, and presents a new approach to understanding the various types of diseases. His survey includes a discussion of the stages of human development, the roles of various organs such as the lungs, liver, kidneys and heart, particular diseases of many kinds, and pointers as to why people fall ill in the first place. He also discusses the increasing prevalence of cancer, and gives insights into specific phenomena such as the menstrual cycle. This volume will be illuminating both for medical practitioners and therapists who wish to learn more about anthroposophical medicine, and for patients who would like a deeper understanding of a key medical approach.
Book Synopsis Anthroposophical Medicine by : Michael Evans
Download or read book Anthroposophical Medicine written by Michael Evans and published by HarperThorsons. This book was released on 1992 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While conventional medicine analyzes disease in terms of cellular disturbances and prescribes drugs to counteract physical symptoms, anthroposophical medicine adds a spiritual image of the human being. Anthroposophical doctors (who qualify first in conventional medicine) increase the range of treatments available, offering artistic therapies, herbal remedies, and many others. Where conventional treatment can only suppress the symptoms, these treatments extend the possibilities of a cure and reduce the need to use conventional drugs. This book is an excellent introduction to the scope and potential of anthroposophical medicine.
Book Synopsis Extending Practical Medicine by : Rudolf Steiner
Download or read book Extending Practical Medicine written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic introductory work on spiritual medicine, Rudolf Steiner worked in unique literary collaboration with the physician Ita Wegman. Their aim was to revitalise the art of healing through spiritual knowlege - yet in so doing they did not underrate or dismiss modern scientific medicine, but illumined it beyond its present materialistic outlook to a fuller realisation of the human condition.As Ita Wegman wrote in her preface: "The aim was not to underestimate scientific medicine in an ameteurish way; it was given full recognition. But it was important to add to existing knowlege the insights that can come from true perception of the spirit, enabling us to understand the processes of illness and healing."Today this new extension of practical medicine, known as 'anthroposophical medicine', is used and valued by many physicians and in many clinics around the world.Dr. ITA WEGMAN was born in the Dutch West Indies in 1876 and trained in gymnastics and massage and later medicine. After founding the Institute of Clinical Medicine in Arlesheim, she was made leader of the Medical Section of the Anthroposophical Society in 1923. Her last years were devoted to her work in the clinic where she died in 1943.

Book Synopsis Anthroposophy and the Natural Sciences by : Rudolf Steiner
Download or read book Anthroposophy and the Natural Sciences written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 5 public lectures and an evening discussion, various cities, June 17, 1920 - May 11, 1922 (CW 75) This previously untranslated volume in The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner showcases Rudolf Steiner presenting the key concepts and methods of spiritual science to more or less skeptical academic audiences in the early 1920s. Step by step, he presented to his listeners the fundamentals of the anthroposophic path of knowledge. Steiner was less concerned with presenting results from his spiritual-scientific research than with leading his academic audience to an objective understanding of spiritual science in a propaedeutic, conceptually transparent way. The central questions of his approach were: What are the tools and instruments required to orient oneself in the world of the soul and the spirit? How can we know that the spiritual world is an objective world and not merely a psychic projection? What authorizes the spiritual researcher to acknowledge what he has experienced "on the other side" as a reality that is independent of him? Rudolf Steiner addresses these and other questions in such a structured and readily comprehensible way that the volume as a whole is well suited, both as an introductory text and as a means for anyone to deepen their understanding of how anthroposophy relates to and builds upon the natural sciences. At the time these presentations were given, serious voices had been raised denying Steiner's scientific credibility and denouncing his methods as unsound. Partly in response to such criticisms, Steiner here describes a means by which human beings can gain, through methodical and rigorous training, a direct experience of the spiritual dimension of life. He lays out the methodology of spiritual science, which is rooted in the scientific approach, outlining the three stages of higher knowledge --imagination, inspiration, and intuition --and describing the inner processes that lead from intellectual thinking to these higher modes of cognition. Ultimately, what Steiner proposes is not a deviation from the natural sciences but their expansion and development beyond unnecessary boundaries --that is, the establishment of anthroposophical spiritual science as a recognized method and practice of scientific research. This book is a translation from German of Das Verhältnis der Anthroposophie zur Naturwissenschaft, 1st edition (GA 75, Rudolf Steiner Verlag, Dornach, Switzerland, 2010).

Download or read book Introducing Anthroposophical Medicine written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these twenty lectures, given to medical doctors and students, Rudolf Steiner presents a new approach to the art of healing, based on the insights of anthroposophical spiritual science. Taking account of modern medical knowledge and practice, and deeply versed in alchemical, Paracelsian, and naturopathic approaches, as well as in homeopathy, aromatherapy, and of her alternative therapies, Steiner demonstrates on the basis of his own researches how a truly integrated "whole person" medicine is possible-one that understands the human as a being of body, soul, and spirit: a microcosm in the macrocosm; a mirror of the earth and of the heavens. Many of the lectures arose directly in response to the questions of practicing physicians. Specific organs and specific diseases are brought into new relations and connections. The whole question of diagnosis, health and treatment is viewed from different perspectives. The result is a new vision of medicine: one that is practical, spiritual, psychological, and fully human.
Book Synopsis Anthroposophic Nursing Practice: Foundations and Indications for Everyday Caregiving by : Rolf Heine (Editor)
Download or read book Anthroposophic Nursing Practice: Foundations and Indications for Everyday Caregiving written by Rolf Heine (Editor) and published by Portal Books. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthroposophic nursing care goes beyond the communicative approach of soft skills. Nurses form a bridge between treatment of the body and treatment of the patient's soul and spirit by actively valuing the human body, paying attention to touch, using warmth, cold, air, and light to promote healing processes, and much more. Although physical wellbeing, autonomy, and youthfulness are central to our modern materialistic culture, our bodies actually receive little respect and appreciation, especially when they become ill and eventually old. Nursing values need to be rediscovered that respect the debased human being, embrace illness as a part of existence, and allow time for healing. A key aspect of this book involves the idea and practice of "nursing gestures," relating inner attitudes and practical nursing activities to one another in detail through numerous examples and overviews. Anthroposophic Nursing Practice shows not only the possibility, but also the practical experience of nursing care, which aims to be both holistic and optimistic. The knowledge and perspectives gathered in this book have matured through the work of several generations of anthroposophically oriented nurses, all striving to refine a truly integrative nursing practice. This unique book will no doubt become the classic text on the important practice of anthroposophic nursing.

Book Synopsis Lifting the Veil of Mental Illness by : William Bento
Download or read book Lifting the Veil of Mental Illness written by William Bento and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2004 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental illnesses are too often seen only in abstract terms. In keeping with this, mainstream psychology, which seldom acknowledges the psyche or soul, relies increasingly on pharmaceutical treatment. In his unique approach to anthroposophical psychology (or "psychosophy"), William Bento views imbalances of the human soul in an experiential and human way. Basing his views on the work of Rudolf Steiner, Bento looks not only at the human body, soul, and spirit, but also at the way the whole environment of physical phenomena, life forces, and spirit beings affects us as individuals. Going well beyond our immediate, earthly surroundings, the author considers the cosmic effects of sun, planets and stars, offering a holistic view of the human soul. This book is a valuable and accessible addition to the field of anthroposophical psychology and to the study of Spiritual Science in general.
