Arpenter le territoire français pour sonder l'identité nationale. C'est ce que fait Jean-Christophe Bailly dans Le Dépaysement, un récit qui se caractérise par un décentrement du regard vers le ...proche et le local et dont l'idée prend naissance lors d'un séjour dépaysant à New York. A l'encontre d'une vision essentialiste de la nation, son enquête de terrain le mène pourtant vers la quête d'une identité nationale en creux, à cheval entre le passé et l'avenir. En nous appuyant sur la théorie de la mémoire élaborée par Henri Bergson, nous soutenons que le texte mise sur une individuation en lien étroit avec l'appropriation mémorielle du territoire tout en laissant croire à une conception polymorphe et mouvante de l'identité nationale. Avec la mémoire qui répète le passé ou complète utilement la perception présente, les points de repère discrets renforcent le sentiment d'appartenance territoriale, mais valorisent aussi une articulation entre l'individuel et le collectif et, ce faisant, contribuent à animer la communauté nationale.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of stress coping styles in the relationship between separation individualization and sexual self-schema. Methods: Relational screening model was ...used in the study. In the selection of the sample group of the study, the convenience sampling method, which is one of the non-random sampling methods, was preferred. The study group of the research consists of 246 (61%) females, 157 (39.0%) males. In this study, Demographic Information Form, Separation Individuation Scale, Sexual Self Schema Scale, and Coping with Stress Scale was used. Results: According to the results, problem-focused coping styles play a partial mediator role in the relationship between separation individuation and loving/compassionate sexual self-schema in coping with stress, and there is a relationship between separation individuation and problem-focused coping styles. Conclusions: There was a significant relationship between separation, individuation and loving/compassionate sexual self and self-confident, optimistic approach, seeking social support. Predicts the compassionate sexual self-schema; It was determined that coping styles were a partial mediating variable in the relationship between relational problems and the loving/compassionate sexual self-schema.

BackgroundThroughout life, individuals are bombarded by countless emotion-generating messages. Certain of these messages, for example, some insults, admonitions, rejections, challenges, or insightful ...declarations, can be viewed as “infective.” Infective messages shock, puncture, adhere, disturb, and generate discernable host responses that assimilate, accommodate, or repel the intruding messages. Messages originating in one's own mind can stimulate psychological equivalents of autoimmune responses. Sometimes, these messages produce enduring psychological changes. Infective messages may traumatize, organize, or therapize. The aims of this article are to consider how infective messages a) relate to their messengers (vectors), structural characteristics, and recipient (host) factors; b) might contribute to trauma, personal identity formation, psychological conflicts, and emotional self-regulatory and cognitive heuristics; c) might inform the conduct of psychotherapy; and d) suggest future research.MethodsClinical observations were augmented with selective literature reviews. These sources contributed to perspectives regarding how certain messages might become infective; contribute to trauma, complex aspects of identity formation, and inner conflict; and inform the conduct of psychotherapy.ResultsInfective messages are commonly characterized by short, cogent communications emanating from credible sources that fall on vulnerable recipients' receptive, dispositional feeling states. These infective stimuli trigger reactive and defensive emotions and associated behaviors reflecting responses to significant threats or benefits relative to the individual's deepest needs, motivations, and values. Defensive overreactions may occur in response to messages to which individuals have been previously sensitized. Infective message contents appear to assimilate into constantly evolving, dynamic autobiographical brain maps consisting of highly specific neuronal networks that range from the brainstem through limbic structures to multiple cortical areas. Autobiographical maps built from message-injected contents may transform, akin to the incorporation of retroviruses or prions, to encode personal identities as aspects of the self. Contrasting maps may exist semi-independently of one another, continuously evolving, interacting, combining, dividing, conflicting, and contending with one another for attention. Achieving attentional awareness, such maps help structure how individuals conceptualize and communicate about their encoded traumas, diverse identities, and the conflicts among them.Conclusions and ImplicationsDuring psychotherapy, aftereffects of traumatizing infective messages might be detoxified by deconstructing, desensitizing, and processing messages' precise words and emotional envelopes in relation to contexts in which they were delivered, and the individual's inner dispositions at moments of impact. Carefully crafted, timely interpretations can be therapeutically infective, generating enduring positive impacts. Future studies using an assortment of approaches can test these perspectives.
Rumi's works have been characterized by a profound philosophical thrust. Widely translated, Rumi happens to be the most sought after poet in the English language. Coleman Barks, R. A. Nicholson, A.J. ...Arberry and Annemarie Schimmel have contributed to the enduring presence of Rumi in the English literary canon through their meticulous translations. Nevit O. Ergin and Will Johnson's translation, The Rubais of Rumi stands out by treating Rumi's evocative metrical composition, Rubai; a four-line stanza with literary dexterity. The prolific works of Rumi; whether the 23-volume magnum opus titled ‘Divan-i-Kabir, the 1700 Rubais, or the Mathnawi which has been referred to as a divine scripture in Persian language have opened new vistas of critical inquiry into the field of hermeneutics. The succinct, anaphoric and at times epigrammatic style belies the unfathomable depth that lies within the verses. Hence the vast diametrical stretches of his works embrace existential matters at one level; and the esoteric ones as spiritual dynamism and jurisprudence at another level.
Referencing literature and professional experiences of multiple academic affairs deans in Doctor of Pharmacy degree granting programs, this commentary examines ways offices of academic affairs (OAA) ...play an integral part in the professional identity formation (PIF) of students, faculty, preceptors, and staff. Overlapping roles of academic affairs and other program and university offices are examined with a focus on approaches that impact student PIF.
While size, organizational structure, and roles or responsibilities can vary among OAA within pharmacy education, five focus areas are identified as opportunities where most, if not all, OAA can positively impact PIF for students. These five areas include 1) curriculum design, delivery, and operations, 2) leadership, 3) professional development, 4) student support and progression, and 5) accreditation.
OAA can help to shape PIF within pharmacy education in a variety of ways. Identifying and reflecting upon the five focus areas described in this paper may help individuals within OAA units recognize where PIF efforts may be developed, refined, or assessed within their program. By intentionally layering PIF strategies across these five focus areas, OAA personnel and those from other units within and outside of the university system may thoughtfully work together to develop graduates who have increased self-awareness, confidence, and ability to lead within the profession of pharmacy.
Antecedentes: nos encontramos ante una crisis global que amenaza la subsistencia del planeta. Aunque durante las últimas décadas se han propuesto un conjunto de medidas para enfrentar esta crisis ...global, los resultados no han sido auspiciosos. Estado del arte: dado el importante rol de los profesionales en la sociedad, en este trabajo se argumenta que un desarrollo sistemático de la identidad profesional en la formación inicial es clave para el desarrollo sustentable. Se propone que esta identidad profesional podría construirse en base a las dimensiones (a) integración de saberes subjetivos, profesionales y científicos, (b) creatividad para abordar los problemas actuales y futuros, (c) prosocial y (d) ecológica. El objetivo de este trabajo es sustentar la urgencia de lo mencionado para dar respuesta a la crisis global y proporcionar sugerencias que orienten el desarrollo sistemático de la identidad profesional durante la formación inicial, en base a estas dimensiones. Conclusiones: a partir de la literatura científica, se argumenta la necesidad de formar sistemáticamente la identidad profesional en base a estas dimensiones, proporcionando sugerencias al respecto.
In this article the problem of ethnocultural identity formation is considered in the context of the personal development problem, namely, as a person’s awareness of oneself, one’s environment as well ...as of oneself in one’s relations with other people. Along with the genetically determined prerequisites, ethnocultural identity formation is influenced by sociocultural factors, a person’s real life. The ethnocultural identity phenomenon is closely related to the methodological understanding of the foundations of deep, fundamental life meanings, values, and priorities. Ethnocultural identity and everything that relates to it – roots, historical destinies, ethnic culture, historical memory – are the most important values and life meanings of every person.
Background
Professional identity formation (PIF) in medical students is a multifactorial phenomenon, shaped by ways that clinical and non-clinical experiences, expectations and environmental factors ...merge with individual values, beliefs and obligations. The relationship between students’ evolving professional identity and self-identity or personhood remains ill-defined, making it challenging for medical schools to support PIF systematically and strategically. Primarily, to capture prevailing literature on PIF in medical school education, and secondarily, to ascertain how PIF influences on medical students may be viewed through the lens of the ring theory of personhood (RToP) and to identify ways that medical schools support PIF.
Methods
A systematic scoping review was conducted using the systematic evidence-based approach. Articles published between 1 January 2000 and 1 July 2020 related to PIF in medical students were searched using PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, ERIC and Scopus. Articles of all study designs (quantitative and qualitative), published or translated into English, were included. Concurrent thematic and directed content analyses were used to evaluate the data.
Results
A total of 10443 abstracts were identified, 272 full-text articles evaluated, and 76 articles included. Thematic and directed content analyses revealed similar themes and categories as follows: characteristics of PIF in relation to professionalism, role of socialization in PIF, PIF enablers and barriers, and medical school approaches to supporting PIF.
Discussion
PIF involves iterative construction, deconstruction and inculcation of professional beliefs, values and behaviours into a pre-existent identity. Through the lens of RToP, factors were elucidated that promote or hinder students’ identity development on individual, relational or societal levels. If inadequately or inappropriately supported, enabling factors become barriers to PIF. Medical schools employ an all-encompassing approach to support PIF, illuminating the need for distinct and deliberate longitudinal monitoring and mentoring to foster students’ balanced integration of personal and professional identities over time.
Background: In April 2020, most undergraduate medical education programs across the country ceased in-person activities. In the months that followed, the return to clinical care was often ...inconsistent, sporadic and unpredictable. As the pandemic wore on, the impact of COVID-19 on professional identity formation in medical students was an area ripe for investigation. This study reveals student perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on their developing sense of professional identity.
Methods: Students in the Class of 2021 at the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine were invited to participate. After approval from the Institutional Review Board, participating students submitted an image of themselves wearing a mask of their choosing ("selfie") with an accompanying reflective narrative describing the impact of the pandemic on their educational experience. In addition, students submitted words to describe the self they projected (external) on the outside of a templated surgical mask and words to describe their true (internal) sense of self on the inside of the mask.
Results: Common narrative themes that emerged included doubt, anxiety, fear, disconnection, loss of control, guilt, sacrifice, resilience and survival. Analysis of descriptors of internal and external aspects of the templated surgical masks revealed common themes of anxiety, fear, confusion and hope.
Conclusions: This study provides a glimpse into the student experience of COVID-19 through several lenses. From the narrative perspective, students expressed elements of disconnection and doubt as well as resilience and grit. From the visual perspective, similar themes emerged from the mask descriptors. Overall, COVID-19 significantly impacted the emotional experiences of this cohort of fourth-year medical students, particularly in the context of sustained uncertainty and feelings of anxiety.
