The Anthroposophical Extended Medicine Training Course is designed for doctors, dentists, veterinarians and pharmacists. Graduated auditors and students in Nursing and Midwifery Sciences and Health Professionals are admitted.
The course has two fundamental objectives. The first objective is an expansion of the cognitive horizon, on the basis of an integration of the experimental data with the interpretative tools derived from an observational phenomenological method of investigation, which can lead, both objective and experimental data, to a systemic representation of the man founded on the individuality of the patient. The second objective is to translate everything that has been acquired on the cognitive and interpretative level into operational tools on a clinical and therapeutic level. We propose to work for an expansion of the diagnostic horizon in which the individuality of the patient emerges as a subject of illness and recovery, developing new therapeutic strategies in which the prescription of traditional drugs can be integrated and
enriched by the wealth of pharmaceutical knowledge of anthroposophic medicine. Furthermore, this integration is aimed at re-evaluating the function of the patient as a subject of illness and healing, where the disease is interpreted in the biopathographic panorama of the patient and healing as an opportunity for transformation in the individual maturation process. On this basis we propose to consider and deepen those forms of therapy that would make the patient an active subject in the healing process, considered as the result of a work of interpretation and elaboration of the disease. For this reason, space will also be given to non-pharmacological therapies which involve an active participation of the patient's individual resources such as Art Therapy, the Art of the Word and Eurythmy. The whole course would like to have, from the beginning, a practical cut aimed at giving the doctor renewed observational and operational skills, in order to emphasize the doctor-patient relationship and, in general, the therapeutic relationship as a human and social foundation. of the art of healing.
