“…Such attempt at gaining control over one´s body is on the one hand helpful, on the other it hints at personal and societally conflictive tendencies. A tendency from centering to dispersal that personally shows in a shift from identity to fragmentation is clinically noticeable here [47]. A parallel, somewhat crossed and multi-layered societal motion calls for enforcing culturally prescribed body modification; today´s eating disorders echo the historical development.…”

“…A parallel, somewhat crossed and multi-layered societal motion calls for enforcing culturally prescribed body modification; today´s eating disorders echo the historical development. From this perspective, anorexia is an exaggeration of modernity, as bulimia is an elegant form of keeping up appearances; both make for a motion from symptom to desire [47]. Therefore, changes of lifestyle in the broad sense of the word often provide the key to well-being when embedded in a psychosomatically apt concept.…”

augment the bio-psycho-social model by a fourth mainstay which might be in a humanities-derived concept [11]. The overall aim should be that a ´dispersed patient´ will be a thing of the past [12]. Pre-Conception CounselingPre-conception counseling in gynaecology and mental health care is increasingly used by couples wishing to conceive. Some basics play an important role in stock-check: illnesses, medication, former pregnancies, malnutrition, cycle irregularities and thyroid function [13]. Further aspects are rule out gingivitis, periodontitis, alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. Ideally, BMI should be between 18.5 and 25. Moreover, a fundamental behavioral advice for patients is to consider the hangover effect of contraceptives, which in depot gestagens can take months. General nutrition optimizing is essential, including the substitution of folate and iodine for a closing of the neural tube in the fourth gestational week, not only in the first trimenon but in preconception [14][15][16]. Generally, after one year of regular intercourse, further advice should be sought [13]. In one-year-plus cases, in males there is often no malfunction diagnosed, so couples often report practicing abstinence time in between intercourse in order to elevate male sperm quantity. This is not useful since quality will decrease the lower the intercourse frequency is [17]. In contrast, the higher the frequency is, the better sperm quality will be [17].A psychosomatic perspective takes into account such factors. A psychosomatic-interactional perspective also accommodates the interactions of the individual; i.e. individual problems can have interactional function, which can be revealing to diagnostics and to intervention [18]. Systemic aspects in psychic and somatic disorders are obvious [19], in couple functioning and in individual functioning, which can also be seen in females´ disorders like sexual functioning disorder [20], or in eating disorder [21]. Pre-conception counseling should thus encompass aspects of the bio-psycho-social kind as basics of intervention strategies of which in the pre-and postnatal context many have been developed [22][23][24].

“…Elias' notion of civilizing processes may not necessarily be compromised, even by looking at Hassan's concept of characteristics of modernity and postmodernity. [74][75][76] In a cultural historical perspective, any employing of humanist values might be a blighted task today; yet, as societies sort of invent themselves anew each day, it is not idle. The lost object might reappear in the shape of Grande Histoire.…”

In a globalized world, terrorism will be the issue of forthcoming decades. Yet, the obvious idea of fighting terrorism by stepping on public security measures might lead astray. In the first instance, an integrative approach of psychological, sociological and anthropological concepts is necessary in order to meet the dimensions of the global terrorism phenomenon. Especially the spirit of terrorism, as it were, the dynamics in terrorism, is rendered hard to come to terms with. Therefore, this paper will enunciate theses that not only take a look on global terrorism but suggest options of guidelines to deal with it. In psychological rationale, violence prevention is a means to be applied as early as in infant and early childhood education. By way of socio-emotional learning, i.e. learning from constant relational objects, children will internalize objects, identify with objects, and form social competencies. Violence prevention programs may support these processes. Underneath child rearing practices, from a sociological and anthropological perspective there are hidden motifs in groups and nations as well as there is societal structure itself. Structure, as grid of objective reality, may act as an agent of hidden repression and with that, of shrouded violence. So any increase of technical security might go along with an increase, not a decrease, of violence, like in anti-burglary fingerprint identification in some sentient building that will not necessarily lead to a decrease of burglaries on the premises but rather to a higher occurrence of brutality, e.g. in burglars cutting off the security guard's finger. ª 2014 Hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Forensic Medicine Authority.
