pSYCHOSIS HAS been A terrible problem forever, and Ruins the lives of a great many people, as well as impacting on their surroundings. SO What is the best strategy?
Read anything by Dr Wilhelm Reich and Particularly the book "Man in The Trap" by Dr Elsworth Baker, which explains about the various character types and Armouring in our society. reich was the genius of the age, see my other web pages on these topics.
It is Worth looking at the German New Medicine of Dr Geerd Hamer which also has something to say on psychosis, for example Hamer's ideas on The schizophrenic constellation.
basically he found that both hemispheres of the brain have to be the subject of severe conflicts in order to become psychotic. with only one hemisphere impacted you get neurosis not psychosis.
Quite how to use this Two hemispheres psychosis finding I am not so sure yet, but the more you know the more chance you have got to fix things.
The book "the new medicine" by Lars p kronlob is readily available and covers the whole topic of disease not just psychosis from a geerd hamer point of view.
Perhaps Dr Geerd hamer had more to say on psychosis but so far i have not found it. Various websites are worth consulting such as that of Dr Caroline Markolin on german new medicine.
Sujok is definitely worth learning, you can treat any part of the body with sujok methods, including any part of the brain.
You could use the brain toe for treatment also with sujok nail therapy, or sujok 4 points treatment for example.
Sujok seed therapy also is worth trying, put the seeds with tape on painful points in brain correspondence areas for example.
Massage, colour therapy and magnets can also be used. see my sujok pages and sujok books for more information.
The very useful book '' Traditional Chinese Hand and Foot Massage'' by Wu Gengwei and Hao Dongfang is very useful, and readily available. It contains several acupoints on Hands and feet which help Psychosis, you can experiment with which ones work best for you.
Again their book contains holographic maps of hands and feet with areas for cancer and other diseases, some of which might be applicable to psychosis, again experiment is the key. Regular moderate massage of those points and holographic areas will help enormously.
Cancer is seen as a chronic weakness disease in oriental medicine so strengthening the chi energy and other approaches make sense. Sujok Nail Therapy, Sujok Seed therapy and Sujok four points treatment can all help with psychosis and cancer for example, even treatment in a simple way can work wonders. See my sujok pages and also buy the books.
Psychosis means the person is not fully in touch with reality, they are delusional at least in some respects but usually do not realise it. So rational discussion is of limited use most of the time.
Could Gestalt Therapy work to solve the problem of psychosis?
It would have to be creative as a normal kind of progression of therapy would not be expected in cases of psychosis.
Making real contact in such a context is problematic, but perhaps it can be reached with less verbal techniques and more visual or zany approaches than usual.
After all psychosis is a derangment of Unitary Biophysical Functioning but some organised functioning is still happening otherwise the person would be dead.
So how to communicate with a personality in such a strange mode?
