Instability and Uncertainty Are Critical for Psychotherapy: How the Therapeutic Alliance Opens Us Up

Patrick Connolly

Summary: Tschacher and Haken have applied a systems-based approach to model the psychotherapy process and explore the potential beneficial effects of deterministic and chaotic changes in the client's experience. The study highlights the importance of therapeutic alliance in inducing client instability, leading to the emergence of a new hierarchical level and a reduction in precisions of the client's priors. This process is considered a necessary precursor to change in psychotherapy. The research suggests that beneficial forms of instability are often overlooked in psychotherapy and discusses potential situations where instability may not be beneficial or potentially harmful.

Meaning makes touch affective

Uta Sailer et al.

Summary: The pleasantness of gentle stroking varies greatly between individuals and studies, indicating that there may be other relevant factors to consider. The affective value of a touch event is determined by how well its perceived purpose matches the goals of the touch receiver, which is influenced by sensory characteristics, setting, person factors, and the touchee's expectations.

Placebo From an Enactive Perspective

Inigo R. Arandia et al.

Summary: The controversy surrounding placebo effects is attributed to their complexity and variability. The study proposes the enactive approach as an alternative theoretical framework to traditional explanations, emphasizing the importance of an ontology of individuation and dimensions of embodiment in placebo effects. The study also discusses the need to move beyond individual social traits and investigate therapeutic interactions in terms of participatory sense-making.

Computational Models of Interoception and Body Regulation

Frederike H. Petzschner et al.

Summary: Organisms need to effectively respond to environmental changes to maintain physiological integrity, relying on adaptive behaviors. Recent frameworks have expanded to include more flexible adaptive behaviors, taking into account interoceptive context, experiences, and expectations. Computational models of interoception, body regulation, and forecasting provide insights into cognition and physical/mental health.

Proximity and touch are associated with neural but not physiological synchrony in naturalistic mother-infant interactions

Trinh Nguyen et al.

Summary: The study found that touch and proximity in caregiver-infant dyads are related to neural and physiological synchrony, with maternal affectionate touch during face-to-face interaction positively influencing neural synchrony. This suggests that social touch plays a crucial role in infant development and bonding through neural synchrony.

Osteopathy modulates brain-heart interaction in chronic pain patients: an ASL study

Francesco Cerritelli et al.

Summary: In this study, the combination of rCBF and HRV measures showed that OMT treatment can significantly regulate brain-heart interaction mechanisms, leading to decreased rCBF in pain matrix regions and increased rCBF in other brain areas. These findings suggest that OMT may play a role in modulating brain-heart interactions.

Osteopathy: Italian professional profile. A professional commentary by a group of experts of the European community of practice

F. Cerritelli et al.

Summary: Osteopathy has recently been regulated as a healthcare profession in Italy, with legislation defining the professional profile of osteopaths. Despite positive developments, there are critical points raised regarding the validity of osteopathic care models and the role of osteopaths in health promotion and prevention. Legislative developments worldwide need to be informed by a critical appraisal of osteopathic conceptual models and robust research.

Pain and the field of affordances: an enactive approach to acute and chronic pain

Sabrina Coninx et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an enactive approach to pain and the transition to chronic pain, emphasizing the differences between acute and chronic pain as well as the dynamic process of pain chronification. It highlights the role of behavioral learning, neural reorganization, and socio-cultural practices in pain generation and maintenance, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of pain while avoiding reductionist and fragmented approaches. Such an enactive approach proves beneficial in addressing the heterogenous yet dynamically intertwined aspects contributing to pain and its chronification.

Effect of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment vs Sham Treatment on Activity Limitations in Patients With Nonspecific Subacute and Chronic Low Back Pain A Randomized Clinical Trial

Christelle Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of standard osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) with sham OMT in reducing low back pain (LBP) specific activity limitations in patients with nonspecific subacute or chronic LBP. Results showed that standard OMT had a small effect on reducing LBP-specific activity limitations compared to sham OMT, but the clinical relevance of this effect is questionable.

The legacy and implications of the body-mind-spirit osteopathic tenet: A discussion paper evaluating its clinical relevance in contemporary osteopathic care

Rafael Zegarra-Parodi et al.

Summary: The osteopathic profession, with its roots in Native American principles, has the potential to promote evidence-informed person-centered approaches by integrating the body-mind-spirit tenet. However, there is a lack of robust clinical practice frameworks in this area, leading to confusion among patients and practitioners. This commentary highlights the need to create an evidence-informed framework for osteopathic care that integrates the BMS tenet.

Markov blankets in the brain

Ines Hipolito et al.

Summary: Recent studies have found that the characteristics of self-organising systems are related to the presence of a "Markov blanket", a statistical boundary that mediates interactions between the inside and outside of a system. Utilizing this concept allows for the analysis of partitions in neuronal systems, applicable at multiple scales of brain architecture, enabling the division into individual neurons, brain regions, and brain-wide networks. The partitioning of neural systems in this manner highlights certain limitations of modular perspectives of brain function that only consider a single level of description.

Enactive pain and its sociocultural embeddedness

Katsunori Miyahara

Summary: This paper challenges the theoretical assumptions of mainstream approaches in philosophy of pain and presents an alternative enactive approach. It argues that pain should be considered as an embodied response to the situation, emphasizing the sociocultural embeddedness of pain. Additionally, neuroscientific evidence is used to support the idea that pain experience is not immune to sociocultural influences.

Toward an Embodied, Embedded Predictive Processing Account

Elmarie Venter

Summary: This paper argues for an embodied, embedded approach to predictive processing, rejecting extreme views like cognitivist predictive processing and free energy enactivism. The proposed compromise, Embodied, Embedded Predictive Processing (EEPP), accommodates both the free energy principle and mental representations in explaining cognition. It emphasizes the role of the body in cognitive processing and highlights the bidirectional relationship between the agent and environment in minimizing prediction error.
