Reimagining Trauma-Informed Healthcare

Recent neuroscience research (2024-2025) reveals fundamental insights about trauma, resilience, and recovery that challenge traditional healthcare models. Simultaneously, healthcare reform movements advocate for network-based approaches emphasizing distributed agency and patient autonomy.

This essay examines the convergence between cutting-edge trauma neuroscience and Actor-Network Theory (ANT) framework for healthcare transformation, demonstrating how scientific discoveries provide biological validation for systemic reform.

Archetypal vs Embodied Approaches to Healing

jyungar August 26, 2025

Archetypal vs Embodied Approaches to Healing

This study examines three distinct yet convergent critiques of contemporary biomedical practice: Alfred Ziegler's archetypal medicine grounded in Jungian analytical psychology, Dennis Patrick Slattery's phenomenological documentation of archetypal healing processes, and our embodied theological approach integrating Jewish mystical concepts with clinical neurology. Through comparative analysis informed by medical anthropology, phenomenology, and critical medical humanities, this investigation evaluates the theoretical contributions, methodological implications, and practical limitations of these approaches. The analysis reveals significant convergences in their critique of Cartesian dualism and emphasis on meaning-making, while highlighting divergences in their relationship to conventional medical practice and epistemological foundations.
