It’s hard to conceive of a topic of more broad and personal interest than the study of the mind. In addition to its traditional investigation by the disciplines of psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, the mind has also been a focus of study in the fields of philosophy, economics, anthropology, linguistics, computer science, molecular biology, education, and literature. In all these approaches, there is an almost universal fascination with how the mind works and how it affects our lives and our behavior. Studies of the mind and brain have crossed many exciting thresholds in recent years, and the study of mind now represents a thoroughly cross-disciplinary effort. Researchers from a wide range of disciplines seek answers to such questions as: What is mind? How does it operate? What is consciousness?The Encyclopedia of the Mind brings together scholars from the entire range of mind-related academic disciplines from across the arts and humanities, social sciences, life sciences, and computer science and engineering to explore the multidimensional nature of the human mind.

Teaching Videos: University of Exeter
While nothing will ever replace the face-to-face experience of direct medical care and training, certain skills can be gained by reviewing high-quality instructional and training videos on such topics. This resource from the University of Exeter’s College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences was designed to help interested parties learn about patient-centered care and the psychology involved with patient care. In the section titled Psychology in Patient Care, visitors can view six different videos that deal with topics such as first impressions, assumptions, boundaries, and managing aggressions. The material here follows Emma, a student radiographer, on her first clinical placement. Moving along, the second section (The Patient’s View) presents Vera, “a remarkable and courageous lady,” talking in clips titled “A question of dignity” and “Going the extra mile.”

This journal accepts and publishes articles regarding theoretical and empirical research in the fields of Philosophy of Language, Semiotics, and Psychology. In particular, the aim of the journal is to counter the idea that philosophical reflection is a disciplinary and specialist sector. On the contrary, the RIFL research group strongly believes that philosophy plays an important role in our contemporary society, that is the ability to communicate with a non-specialist audience about the problems of our time, without ever renouncing to the critical standpoint and clarity which is typical of philosophical thinking.
RIFL will focus on issues related to the fields of Philosophy of Language, Semiotics, and Psychology, with an interdisciplinary approach to studying the issues. For this reason, RIFL invites and accepts contributions from the different research traditions, provided that they are consistent with the approach of the journal.
It is available free of charge as an Open Access journal on the Internet. Please click here to access.
