Sensitivity Epicritic

Epicritic sensitivity is a concept that is used in psychology and philosophy to describe a person’s ability to think critically and evaluate their feelings and emotions. This concept is related to the concept of epicritic reason, which was developed by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant.

Epicritical reason is a person’s ability to analyze his feelings and thoughts in order to come to objective conclusions. Epicritic sensitivity means that a person is able to evaluate his feelings and emotions, as well as understand their causes and consequences. This helps him make more informed decisions and avoid errors in his judgment.

Epicritic sensitivity can be developed through the practice of meditation and mindfulness. Meditation helps a person focus on his feelings and thoughts, and mindfulness allows him to observe his emotions without reacting emotionally.

In addition, epicritic sensitivity can be trained through analysis of your thoughts and feelings. For example, you can ask yourself questions: “Why do I feel the way I feel?”, “What facts support my feelings?”, “How can I change my behavior to avoid the negative consequences of my emotions?”

Developing epicritic sensitivity can be beneficial in many areas of life, including professional activities, personal relationships and health. It helps a person to be more aware and responsible for their actions, which can lead to an improved quality of life and success in various fields.

*Epicritic sensitivity* is one of the types of clinical sensitivity, which is characterized by maximum impact in judgments about whether the patient has p.a. Epicritical perception is distinguished by high selectivity, the ability to detect, in one-time observation and research, minimal, barely perceptible changes in the state of an individual analyzer under the influence of a pathogenic factor. Outside the area of ​​observation, neither these changes nor the ongoing disease, as a rule, are noticed without special techniques (a description of speech disorders, even mild ones, will only be for a specialist). Elimination of unfavorable concomitant influences, in the clinic of V.V. Solovyov, is one of the main tasks of a doctor’s epicritical thinking. A misconception about the nature of the pathological process due to the negative influence of harmful influences is a common mistake of most specialists when working with people. This “mistake,” often associated with the mental characteristics of patients, is aggravated by two circumstances: first, the desire not to notice the manifestations of the disease (sick, immoral, irresponsible people are naturally prone to this); the second is the inevitable misunderstanding by patients of the patterns of occurrence of many symptoms. These two errors can be eliminated by: a careful, scrupulous examination, i.e., the inclusion of a doctor in the process, his participation in the clinical manifestations of suffering, and a deep psychological assessment of the possibilities of establishing the causes of changes in the specific conditions of the patient’s life and especially the relationship between the doctor and the patient. In the second part of his doctoral “Treatise on Breathing and Blood,” V.V. Soloviev specifically focused on the difficulty presented by the frequent combination of serious mental disorders and incorrect and more or less gross overestimation of the patient’s condition - “heart disease” with minimal changes on the electrocardiogram; “manic” changes in mood in some cases with somatic diseases leading to disruption of cortical activity.
