The Exclusion Argument for physicalism maintains that since every physical effect has a sufficient physical cause, and cases of causal overdetermination (wherein a single effect has more than one sufficient cause) are rare, it follows that if minds cause physical effects as frequently as they seem to, then minds must themselves be physical in nature. I contend that the Exclusion Argument fails to justify the rejection of interactionist dualism (the view that the mind is non-physical but causes physical effects). In support of this contention, I argue that the multiple realizability of mental properties and the phenomenal and intentional features of mental events give us reason to believe that mental properties and their instances are non-physical. I also maintain (a) that depending on how overdetermination is defined, the thesis that causal overdetermination is rare is either dubious or else consistent with interactionist dualism and the claim that every physical effect has a sufficient physical cause, and (b) that the claim that every physical effect has a sufficient physical cause is not clearly supported by current science. The premises of the Exclusion Argument are therefore too weak to justify the view that minds must be physical in order to cause physical effects as frequently as they seem to.

Full textUsing Heideggerian interpretive phenomenology, this study illuminates the lived experience of an adapted dance program for individuals with Down syndrome and their family members. The overall pattern from both dancers and family members was adapted dance: connecting mind, body and soul. The primary theme from dancer interpretations was expressing a mosaic of positive experiences, and the primary theme from family member interpretations was experiencing pride in their loved ones. The dance program provided dancers an opportunity to express their authentic self while experiencing moments of full embodiment in the connection of their mind, body and soul. While dancers experienced the connection of mind-body-soul, family members recognized the importance of this connection in their loved one. This research is instrumental in advocating for opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome to experience dance as a social, physical and intellectual activity that results in learning and increasing social interactions. The research findings from this study can support future initiatives for dance programs that may influence a population that has limited access to physical activity and dance. The study's teaching strategies, dance activities, class procedures and sequences, and feedback techniques can be used by other professionals who teach individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Full textAnxiety disorders are currently considered the most prevalent psychiatric illness across all ages and cause significant disability, which represent a burden to society. The nosology of anxiety disorders has changed significantly during the past centuries. While old concepts like neurosis embraced organic models of anxiety, in which symptoms of anxiety were interpreted in the context of medical illnesses, new nosological classification has moved towards the psychological, cognitive and behavioral aspects of anxiety. However, some studies reported the greatest proportion of the cost of anxiety is attributed to lost or reduced productivity, and the direct costs of medical treatment due to the unexplained physical or somatic symptoms. New models of somatic comorbidity among anxiety disorders have emerged over the past years and in this project, we focus on the relationship between the Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (also known as Ehlers Danlos-Hypermobile type (JHS/hEDS)) and Anxiety disorders, which was described for the first time over 30 years ago. We aimed to further study this association along with the underlying mechanisms with the ultimate goal of understanding the different dimensions of the psychopathology associated with JHS/hEDS. A literature reviews confirm an increasing amount of evidence pointing towards a high prevalence of psychiatric conditions among individuals with JHS/hEDS. Particularly, JHS/hEDS is strongly associated with anxiety and there is also limited but growing evidence that JHS/hEDS is also associated with depression, eating and neuro-developmental disorders as well as alcohol and tobacco misuse. In the area of anxiety disorders, clinical and nonclinical studies confirm the solid association between JHS and anxiety. Specifically, JHS has been found to be associated with higher frequency of the so-called endogenous anxiety disorders (panic disorders and agoraphobia) along with higher intensity of anxiety and fears and greater physical and somatic complaints. In one of the studies included in this thesis, we have proven that this association is also maintained in elderly populations.

Full textThe Feldenkrais Method generates a range of healthful or salutogenic outcomes, yet its contribution to the field of mind-body medicine (MBM) remains largely unexamined. The Feldenkrais Method is a form of somatic education offering both practices and theoretical perspectives for an integrated mind-body approach. Research shows that the Feldenkrais Method produces outcomes on a range of functional, psychophysical, and psychosocial measures. This thesis argues that the Feldenkrais Method is an awareness practice of value for mind-body and integrative approaches to health.
Possible mechanisms and dynamics of action of the Feldenkrais Method are presented. This thesis proposes that non- or preconscious intentionality and "know-how" can be an important aspect of healthy behavior. Somatics practices and somatic awareness can play an important role in creating an intentional arc toward health. This study supports the importance of research into the Feldenkrais Method in relation to MBM and health.

Atualmente, o debate sobre a natureza da mente humana vem tomando novos rumos graças ao desenvolvimento de diversos estudos, no campo das neurociências, que investigam a localização das funções cerebrais. Esses trabalhos vêm contribuindo para uma melhor compreensão dos substratos neurais das funções mentais, bem como da etiologia de diversos transtornos mentais. Entretanto, o conhecimento acumulado pela neurociência não ocorreu de forma súbita. Na verdade, o estudo das relações entre o cérebro e a mente não é recente. Da pré-história aos dias atuais, surgiram vários tipos de questionamentos a respeito da possível materialidade e localização das funções mentais humana. O presente trabalho apresenta, de forma histórica, como populações pré-históricas, assim como as primeiras civilizações, localizadas no Egito, na Mesopotâmia, na Índia, na China e na Grécia desenvolveram e utilizaram conceitos relacionados com a alma, a mente e o cérebro humano.
Currently, the debate about the nature of the human mind is taking new directions through the development of several studies investigating the location of brain functions in the field of neuroscience. These studies have been contributing to a better understanding of the neural substrates of mental functions and the etiology of various mental disorders. However, the knowledge developed by neuroscience did not occur abruptly. Indeed, the study of mind-brain relationship is not new. From pre-history to the present day, various different forms types of inquiries were made about the possible materiality and location of human mental functions. This paper presents, in a historic manner, how prehistoric populations, as well as early civilizations located in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China and Greece developed and employed concepts related to the soul, mind and human brain.
