It categorizes optical illusions into physical, physiological, and cognitive types, examining how perceptual hypotheses interact with sensory data and memory. Tracing the evolution of illusions from philosophical and artistic traditions to scientific investigation, the paper highlights how Renaissance innovations in perspective and chiaroscuro, alongside Gestalt psychology and neuroaesthetics, have expanded our understanding of visual perception. Art techniques such as linear perspective, trompe l'œil, and chiaroscuro demonstrate how illusions can create immersive visual experiences. Interdisciplinary insights from art, psychology, and neuroscience reveal the complexity of visual processing. Case studies such as the Rorschach test demonstrate how individuals impose meaning on ambiguous stimuli, revealing insights into both conscious and unconscious cognitive processes. Additionally, research on visual indeterminacy, the Default Mode Network, and non-invasive brain stimulation provides a comprehensive perspective on the neural dynamics underlying perception. Clinical applications of optical illusions are also explored, particularly for the identification and assessment of perceptual and cognitive disorders. In conclusion, the paper argues that illusions challenge and refine our understanding of reality, underscoring the cognitive and interpretative nature of human perception. It advocates for interdisciplinary collaboration as essential to deepening our appreciation of the complex mechanisms underlying visual experience.</p>","PeriodicalId":20760,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Danubina","volume":"37 4","pages":"430-439"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146030683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"PREVENTION IN TEEN DATING VIOLENCE: AN OVERVIEW.","authors":"Isaline Malherbe, Nadine Kacenelenbogen, Giovanni Briganti","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Teen dating violence affects between 8.2% and 30% of adolescents, leading to significant mental and physical health consequences including depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and increased risk of sexually transmitted infections. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on prevention interventions for teen dating violence, examining their effectiveness and exploring applications for clinical practice. Based on findings from a comprehensive systematic review of 28 studies, this review identifies several types of effective prevention approaches. School-based universal programs such as Green Dot, Me & You, and Dating Matters have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing violence perpetration and changing attitudes toward violence. Targeted interventions for high-risk populations, particularly adolescents with previous violence exposure, often show stronger effects than universal approaches. Brief interventions using motivational interviewing and personality theory-based approaches show promise for healthcare settings, while digital prevention programs offer scalability and accessibility advantages. The evidence reveals that interventions are generally more effective at changing attitudes and norms than directly modifying violent behaviors, suggesting that cognitive shifts may precede behavioral change. Programs show differential effectiveness across gender, previous violence exposure, and socioeconomic characteristics, highlighting the importance of tailored approaches. Healthcare provider training demonstrates significant improvements in knowledge and screening practices, though implementation barriers remain. Economic evaluation suggests that prevention investments can yield substantial returns, with one program showing a benefit-cost ratio of 62.9. Sustained effects remain challenging to achieve, with some programs requiring multiple years of implementation. The predominantly U.S.-based research raises questions about generalizability across different cultural contexts. Future research priorities include long-term outcome studies, implementation research, culturally adapted interventions for diverse populations, and economic evaluations. Effective teen dating violence prevention requires comprehensive, multi-level approaches that address individual, family, school, and community factors, with sustained commitment and resources for implementation.</p>","PeriodicalId":20760,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Danubina","volume":"37 Suppl 1","pages":"91-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145125839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"FACIAL EMOTIONAL FEEDBACK: NAVIGATING SPACES AND FAKING GASEOUS AXONAL SHORT-CUTS?","authors":"Gottfried R S Treviranus","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Silvan S. Tomkins (1911-1991) and scholars advanced the understanding of facial expressions and their connection to emotions in affect theory in confluence with the etho- and ethnological Darwinian traditions. While Tomkins at first attributed the origins of feelings to the mimical muscles, he soon realized that the overlying skin, as moved by the muscles, was the actual, not just facial, agent of feelings. Variants of the contested hypotheses on Emotional Facial Feedback (EFF) struggled since, while basic mostly clinical research on the sensory trigeminal (TGS) and the facial motor system (CN7S) couldn't offer a (patho-)physiology of affect concerning the lay experience of emotions to be felt around (activated) mimical muscles in a variant of soft touch - in a way similar to how \"feelings\" are elicited by emotional mental content alone. Here a broad psycho-physiological review concludes on three explanations: 1). the many \"anastomotic\" tracts with close adjacency of motor and sensing branches point to a simulating \"shortcut\" from the CN7S to the TGS thus just faking \"feeling\" without ensuing contraction - since branches of CN7S can just be alerted by readiness to move. This could be due to an orthogonal gaseotransmission by H2S and NO, also regulating its axonally transported enzymes (nNOS e.g.). 2). The very circumscribed sensorial areas in the face creating specific EFF gradients could function more precisely and adapting as a \"somatotopic grid\" by recruiting the second \"onion-shaped\" dermatomes of sensorial defluence providing \"pain by rate\", but also localization. 3). Merely intended movements of the jaw (via preparatory potentials) possibly provide psychological localizations of emotional and other semantic meanings within the Cartesian abstract mental space - limited to 4=3+1 (time) dimensions sustaining the role of movement in future AI. Self-constituting and empathic automatic mimicry and touch interactively point to their core clinical disturbances in \"borderline personality\" amenable to trigeminal inflammations e.g. at the cavernous sinus.</p>","PeriodicalId":20760,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Danubina","volume":"37 Suppl 1","pages":"31-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145125983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
