We now have many sci/tech tools that make it possible to better "Peer Inside the Psyche of a Patient".
“Listen to your patient; he is telling you the diagnosis.”
―
William Osler
The goal of this is to find out what is going on Inside that might be causing/aggravating Physical/Mental Symptoms.
Of course, the patient must be willing to undergo such Invasive/Personal inspection, but some folks might be willing to do this in hopes of feeling better. Some people with Chronic Conditions, such as Chronic Pain, seem to go to all lengths to find relief.
This new novel approach is actually "old medicine" going back centuries, but now we have new sci/tech tools.
Essentially, "Peering Inside the Psyche" of a person involves monitoring the following in Doctor-Patient Interviewing:
- Recording and analyzing the Patient's answers to the Doctor's Questions.
- Recording and analyzing when the Patient tells their Medical History and more importantly their Life Story.
- Recording and analyzing the Patient's Body Language in Discussions.
- Recording and analyzing the Patient's Physiological Signs in the Diagnosis and/or Treatment Process. It is especially important to record/analyze Physiological Signs (Vital Signs) that relate to Emotional Distress (Stress) and/or Pain.
All of this sounds like Polygraphy or Lie Detection, doesn't it? Yes, the same techniques are used as well as more.
To my knowledge, no one is trying to "Peer Inside the Psyche" of a willing patient, but I think it will come.
Perhaps the purpose of this article is to raise awareness of "what could be done" for chronically ill patients.
Here are some Sci/Tech Tools that might be used to "Peer Inside the Psyche":
These examples show the Similarity between Polygraphy or Lie-Detection, Biofeedback, etc.
