Objective: To explore the local cultural foundation for the concept, and discuss the feasibility for the existence of “bare-foot psychotherapy” from the view of Chinese culture in terms of the similarity of philosophical thoughts, thinking patterns and psychological features of the Chinese people. Methods: Clinical practice and theoretical research. Results: By mixing traditional Chinese culture and modern psychological science, “bare-foot psychotherapists” tried to understand, support and help quake-victims to solve their psychological problems according to their special cultural backgrounds. The application of “bare-foot psychotherapists” proved to be feasible, practical and effective. Conclusion: Deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture, “bare-foot psychotherapy” is a successful example of indigenous psychotherapy. It promptly and effectively met the psychological needs of victims after the Wenchuan earthquake. Two years after the tragic earthquake, this appli[1]cation of “bare-foot psychotherapy” has proven to be a sound model for post-disaster psychological rehabilitation. Full article

During the last decades of the twentieth century scholars have proposed “neurotheology” as a new subdiscipline of the neurosciences. This article presents a review and discussion of different interpretations placed on neurotheology, and attempts to estimate the extent to which neuroscience is a challenge and/or an opportunity for theology and (for the study of) religion. On the neuroscientific side, neurotheology can be split into a reductionist and a religionist neuroscience of religion. On the theological side, it can be split into apologetic and integrative approaches. The appraisal of these different interpretations and of the relevance of neuroscience for the study of religion is conducted from three points of view: philosophy and theology, cognitive science, psychology of religion and sciences of religions.

Quelle place pour les neurosciences dans les procédures judiciaires, en particulier dans l’expertise psychiatrique?

What is the place of the neurosciences in judicial proceedings, in particular expert psychiatric opinion? Recent research data in the field of the neurosciences on the role of consciousness in human acts, and the effect of particular cerebral lesions on violent behaviour or moral judgement, raise the question of the possible place of the neurosciences in legal proceedings. Despite the major intellectual interest of this new knowledge, it must be observed that the neurosciences currently introduce a new determinism into the analysis of human acts, but thus far they have no place in criminal proceedings.

Addictions between determinism and freedom Is there a neuroethic of addictions? If so, what do the neurosciences contribute to the debate on the individual responsibility of consumers of psychoactive substances? This article reviews the various determinisms, both psychological and neurobiological, whereby addictions call for recognition as diseases. However, clinical data and studies on spontaneous remissions point to the relative nature of these determinisms and the intact role of human individuality. Thus the field of addictions appears to be in a state of tension between determinism and freedom. Full article

From brain death to brain chip – do we need “neuroethics”? Neuroethics is an area of applied ethics that evaluates the moral implications of neuroscience, its technological products, health care applications and ef[1]fects on society. While neuroethics has evolved rapidly over the last decade, the idea that it should be regarded as a distinct ethical discipline contributing specific expertise to ethical inquiries is still controversial. We approach this question by examining four major areas of neuroscience that have signifi[1]cant ethical implications: (1) brain death and disorders of consciousness, (2) neuroimaging, (3) deep brain stimulation and brain-computer interfaces, and (4) neuroenhancement. Our analysis shows that the clinical applications of neuroscience can be comprehensively assessed by primarily using the well[1]known four principles of medical ethics. Basic neuroscience research, how[1]ever, challenges many traditional ethical tenets as well as raising significant social and anthropological questions. While it may not be best practised as a novel and distinct discipline of ethics, neuroethics benefits most from the cooperation of ethicists, clinicians and scientists focusing on the vexing problems of neuroscience and its profound impact on society.

Bioethics has changed considerably over the years, the increasing diversity of topics of bioethical interest having led to specialisation if not fragmentation. In this context the term “neuroethics” emerged, and it soon became clear that it could be understood in two ways. The “ethics of neuroscience” assesses the ethical and philosophical implications of research in neuroscience and of the application of these discoveries, especially as regards enhancement of “normal” human faculties or new challenges to privacy. The “neuroscience of ethics” basically turns the tables on ethics: it is ethical reasoning itself that becomes the object of neuroscience research. This provides a “behind the scenes” glance into moral reasoning, challenging aspects of moral philosophy and of the conventional philosophical interpretation of human action and free will. On the more practical side, neuroethics increases the level of awareness of the relatively neglected area of diseases of the brain-mind. Full article
