«Las clases dominantes siempre colocan como representantes de la maldad a la mujer»

Bajo el título «La lectura de los libros cerrados», Juan Carlos Rodríguez, profesor de la Universidad de Granada ha hablado de la vida misma, la experiencia de vivir, que el considera más bien la experiencia de sobrevivir, dentro del curso sobre Lengua y Literatura que se imparte este fin de semana en Aguadulce.
«Los libros cerrados somos nosotros mismos ante nosotros mismos; si las narraciones existen es porque nosotros necesitamos narrar nuestra propia vida», afirma Rodríguez, quién asegura que «nunca ha habido diferencia entre ficción y narración por el simple hecho de que nosotros nos inventamos cada día».

De hecho, cuando todo el mundo pudo ver las Torres Gemelas ardiendo y desmoronándose aquellos que postulaban que la realidad no existía, que sólo existía el lenguaje tuvieron que asimilar que lo que caía desde las Torres no eran actores, ha comentado el Profesor, para quién ese fue el final del postmodernismo.

«Nuestra vida nos gustaría transmitirla en el cuento de nunca acabar y pretendemos hacerlo sabiendo de que se acabará, pero por eso mismo necesitamos que nunca se acabe», por ello, dice Juan Carlos Rodríguez nadie puede existir sin construirse su propia memoria narrativa, desde que somos niños hasta la vejez.

Y cada uno lo cuenta a su manera: «es curioso porque hay otros libros cerrados como los medievales o el Quijote que nos cuenta la vida en otros sistemas sociales».

¿Cuál es entonces el espejismo? Para Rodríguez está claro: «las clases dominantes construyen algo, pero no cuentan la verdadera vida, es su forma de controlar la reproducción de la vida». Y en este esquema se va más allá para perpetuar el control: «se trata de controlar quien reproduce la vida, por eso las clases dominantes siempre colocan como representante de la maldad a la mujer ya que ella es la responsable directa de garantizar la reproducción de la vida».

Rodríguez ha hablado sobre la conquista de América, realmente asombrosa, pues con 160 hombres, pocos caballos y menos escopetas se venció a todo un imperio estructurado: «y nos han transmitido el papel de la princesa azteca que traicionó a su pueblo, es inverosímil, algo tenía que haber… Sencillamente Moctezuma tenía bastantes enemigos entre su pueblo».

Anxiety patients overestimate their physiological problems

Anxiety patients overestimate their physiological problems

People having anxiety disorders believe that they have more physiological problems than they really have, says a new University of Granada study.

Some of the physiological symptoms that patients with anxiety disorders think they suffer include, Palpitations, sweating, irregular breathing, shaking of the hands and muscular tension.

However, the implementation of physiological tests has such symptoms are less intense than what the patients subjectively feel.

The scientists conducted the study on 83 patients with anxiety disorders in the program of Evaluation and Treatment of Anxiety Disorders of the Clinical Psychology Unit of the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Granada (Spain).

The lead researcher on the study was Professor Isabel Viedma del Jesus and the participants had been diagnosed any of the following anxiety disorders: panic disorder with and without agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and specific phobias.

The study indicated that many patients with anxiety disorders have orally reported very intense physiological symptoms in surveys and questionnaires, they are hyporeactive when real measures of such symptoms are taken through physiological tests.

Based on the results, the scientists said they have proved that, in the clinical evaluation of pathological anxiety should not only undergo cognitive-behavioural tests (traditionally consisting of surveys and questionnaires), but also psycho-physiological tests.

Our research work has important clinical implications with regard to the diagnose and prognosis of therapeutic success, as well as in the design of more effective intervention strategies in the field of anxiety disorders, said Isabel Viedma.

Part of the conclusions of this research work have been recently presented in national and international conferences such as those organized by the Spanish Society of Psychophysiology (SEPF) and the Society for Psychophysiological Research (SPR), among others. (ANI)

Patients with anxiety think they have more physiological problems than they really have

A doctoral thesis carried out at the University of Granada has proved that patients with serious anxiety disorders (panic disorder with and without agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder or generalized anxiety disorder) think they suffer more physiological (palpitations, sweating, irregular breathing, shaking of the hands and muscular tension …) than they really have. In other words, although many patients with anxiety disorders have orally reported very intense physiological symptoms in surveys and questionaires, they are hyporeactive when real measures of such symptoms are taken through physiological tests.

This research work has been carried out by Professor Mª Isabel Viedma del Jesus and supervised by dirigida Professors Jaime Vila Castellar and Mª Carmen Fernández- Santaella, of the department of Personality, Evaluation and Physiological Treatment. It was carried out with 83 patients who had been diagnosed any of the following anxiety disorders: panic disorder with and without agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and specific phobias. They all were looked after in the of «Evaluation and Treatment of Anxiety Disorders» of the Clinical Psychology Unit of the Faculty of Psychology.

Less serious patients

This work has also revealed that those patients who suffer a less serious anxiety disorder, such as those who have been diagnosed specific phbias (excessive and irrational fear irracional of a certain object or situation, such as certain animals, blood or open wounds, heights, storms, closed spaces…) show a high reactivity in the physiological tests. Viedma stresses the existence of relationship between the capacity to ract physiologically and the prognosis of therapeutic success, as it is patients with specific phobias who benefit most of the cognitive- behavioural treatment. Therefore, we can state that the presence of physiological symptoms is a good improvement predictor in anxiety disorder patients.

Prevalencie in society

In accordance with the researcher, anxiety disorders are the most prevalent psycho-pathological problem in European countries. According to US statistics, the prevalence of specific phobias ranges between 8.8 and 12.5% of the general population. Although few of the persons who show specific fears come into the category of phobic, nearly 11% of such people have fears serious enough to affect their lives significantly.

The researcher emphasizes that, in the light of the results of her research work, it has been proved that, in the clinical evaluation of pathological anxiety should not only undergo cognitive-behavioural tests (traditionally consisting of surveys and questionnaires), but also psycho-physiological tests. «Our research work –Mª Isabel Viedma says- has important clinical implications with regard to the diagnose and prognosis of therapeutic success, as well as in the design of more effective intervention strategies in the field of anxiety disorders».
