103 MUST THE EXPERIENCING SUBJECT BE NON-BIOLOGICAL FOR COMPASSION TO BE AN INTEGRATED PART OF THE PSYCHIATRIC SETTING?

AS56 – PHILOSOPHY AND HUMANITIES IN PSYCHIATRY – WHAT IS THE ROLE OF PHILOSOPHY IN PSYCHIATRY?
Abstract Submission
Objectives
In this submission I answer yes to the question posed in the title, building on Gamper, 2021). The possibility comes to a price though, an intricate redefinition of the notion of biological energy. An even higher price is the abandonment of the Aristotelian first philosophy.

Methods
Deducation.
Results
It is shown that a biological object can have an experiencing subject. Since psychiatric condidtions per definition manifest themselves as part of subjective experiences clinicians must use their own subective exeperinces to use their compassion in the clinical setting.
Conclusions
The result is a turning point for psychiatry and psychiatrists now can use their experiences in their practise.
#111 FORMAL AND AXIOMATIC PSYCHIATRY

AS56 – PHILOSOPHY AND HUMANITIES IN PSYCHIATRY – WHAT IS THE ROLE OF PHILOSOPHY IN PSYCHIATRY?
Abstract Submission
Objectives
I just want to lay on the table two related but unexplored fields For future research. The first comes from an attempt to axiomatize the natural laws (Gamper 2023a) and the other from an attempt to find formal relations between very different fields (Gamper (2023b).

Methods
Formal and axiomatic deduction.
Results
Th axiomatical attempt is very sketchy but it if successfull the result would pull psychiatry closer to formal scences.
Thd formal approach is very promising. Among other things it identifies a formal link between self-consciousness and black hole singularities.
Conclusions
This could be a start for psychiatry to be really integrated with the other sciences.
#131 MACRO PSYCHOLOGY AND THE FOUNDATIO OF PSYCHOTHERAPY
Johan Gamper
Region Stockholm, Brandbergens vårdcentral, Brandbergen, Sweden
AS56 – PHILOSOPHY AND HUMANITIES IN PSYCHIATRY – WHAT IS THE ROLE OF PHILOSOPHY IN PSYCHIATRY?
Abstract Submission
Objectives
This work builds upon the paper Biological Energy and the Experiencing Subject (Gamper, J, Axiomathes, 2020). The focus is to show how the idea of an experiencing subject can be conceived of within modern psychotherapy. We follow the track from conditioning for animals (without concern for an experiencing subject), via behavioral therapy for humans with an experiencing subject and cognitive behavioral therapy for humans with an experiencing subject where we give the subject a rational for the behavioral modification, to psychodynamically oriented therapy where we confront the very subject without going via her behavior. The three methods are explained within the context of macro psychology. Conditioning concerns therapeutic methods that does not address subjective experiences of the patient and neither address subjective experiences methodologically. For instance, you do not give the patient instructions since you do not rely on the patients ability to understand them. Behavioral therapy concerns methods that that are mediated by instructions. The patient is told to follow a procedure. Cognitive behavioral therapy adds explanations to the behavioral therapy. Psychodynamically oriented therapy concerns thesubject’stendency to repress difficult inner material to feel better. This material is focused in the therapy and the patient is informed about how the therapist understands the dynamic. The framework, thus, that is presented, encompasses the major psychotherapeutic methods of today.
Methods
Deduction from clinical trial and error.
Results
An integrated view of modern psychotherapies.
Conclusions
Macro psychology can help bridge the gap between theoretical and clinical psychology.
#169 BIOLOGICAL PARTS AND BIOLOGICAL WHOLES — LESSONS FOR PSYCHIATRY
Johan Gamper
Region Stockholm, Brandbergens vårdcentral, Brandbergen, Sweden
AS56 – PHILOSOPHY AND HUMANITIES IN PSYCHIATRY – WHAT IS THE ROLE OF PHILOSOPHY IN PSYCHIATRY?
Abstract Submission
Objectives
Philosophically, it has been hard to determine how parts and wholes are related. Gamper (2024) suggests causal principles to solve the puzzle. For hundreds of years biology has discussed what the essential part of biological organisms is. Gamper (ibid.) makes a suggestion and uses it to compose living things, organisms. As biological objects this affects psychiatry too. Wee need to take into consideration the causal principles at hand and act accordingly. Psychiatrists don’t simulate flying. They fly.

Methods
We use a new mereological thesis to put psychiatry in perspective vis-a-vis other causal settings.
Results
Psychiatry, as having to do wih biological objects, is shown to be equally dealing with physical objects as other sciences.
Conclusions
This is a purely philosophical (mereological) study and may be used to inspire research into causal connections within psychiatry.
