The role of tomatis sound therapy in the treatment of difficulties in reading in children with developmental dyslexia

Children with developmental dyslexia present problems in reading and other processes related to phonology aspects. Nowadays, 3–11% children and adolescent suffer from difficulties in reading and others related skills. If there are any dysfunctions in one of the pathways going to the frontal cortex (in particular pre-motor regions), then they might be reduced by stimulating the alternative pathway or by changing the kind of stimuli. One of the previous researches has shown the influence of music on the performance in a subsequent language task requiring syntax processing. Therefore music may be used as therapeutic interventions or educational practices.

Affirming the importance of justice as a basic human need

It is a truism that justice is pre-eminently a matter of significance for everyone, no matter their current stage in the life-cycle, social circumstances or nationality. It assures personal and communal security, and is manifest in the way countries deals with crime, civil conflict and social strife within their borders or by agreement beyond.

Yet the topic is much neglected by academic and experimental psychologists, except when their professional and ethical obligations in teaching and research come into question. While the same might not be true for practising child, clinical, forensic, industrial, political and social psychologists, rarely do they address justice formally in either their practice or interprofessional discourse and the topic has yet to appear in formal course-work for their successors.

The aim of the present paper is to remedy the situation and give justice the prominence it deserves in psychological theory and practice.

Archetypal energies as the? Creative Urges? Behind the evolution of humanistic psychology and positive psychology

This presentation is a brief overview of what can be called authentic Archetypal Energies as the? Creative Urges? Behind the evolution of humanistic psychology and positive psychology. The framework is derived from my newest book, evolving the Human Race Game, a book designed to assist readers in evolving human consciousness as we play what I call seven kinds of human race games. In September 2016, the book received the 2016 Living Now Evergreen Bronze Medal Award for Spiritual Leadership. In the book, 25 Archetypal Energies are discussed. They are defined as Higher Vibrational Energies that operate deep within our psyches, at both individual and collective levels. We tend to experience them as ?creative urges? to move us toward our optimal selves and optimal realities.
