On episode 227, we welcome Dr. Robert Smith to discuss the state of mental health care in the US, the historical split between mind and body and its modern ramifications, Robert's struggles as a young doctor addressing mental illness in his patients, the hyper-focus on brain chemistry in psychiatry, the consequences of primary care doctors providing the most amount of care for mental illness, integrating the bio-psycho-social model, the significance of lifestyle choices on major illnesses, the medical industrial complex, and the NURS model of mental health care. Robert C. Smith, MD is internationally recognized for his evidence-based teaching innovations in mental health care and the doctor-patient relationship as developer of the first evidence-based patient-centered method to guide teachers and their medical and nursing students and residents to master a physician's single most important skill: the ability to communicate and form a strong partnership with the patient. Among many awards, Dr. Smith has received the Master recognition from the American College of Physicians, the George Engel Award for Outstanding Research from the Academy on Communication in Healthcare, and the Career Teaching Achievement Award from the Society of General Internal Medicine. His newest book, available now, is called Has Medicine Lost Its Mind?: Why Our Mental Health System Is Failing Us and What Should Be Done to Cure It.  | Robert C.

Show Notes: Opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in research can be profoundly impactful for learning and mentorship experiences, while also providing opportunities for institutions to further scholarship and research in various fields (Adebisi, 2022; Blanton, 2008; Knight et al, 2021). While there are several ways for students to get involved in undergraduate research at Georgetown, many students are not aware of the opportunities; or if they are, they may not know how to get involved. A recent study described undergraduate research as “a treasure trove that has yet to be fully tapped” (Adebisi, 2022).  In this episode of What We're Learning About Learning, we spoke with Lauren Tuckley, Director for Georgetown's Center for Research and Fellowships, who describes research experience as an undergraduate student “part of the hidden curriculum.” Faculty and students being aware of the research opportunities available at Georgetown can make this hidden curriculum more visible. We also spoke with Georgetown undergraduate students Zachariah John, Sarah Watson, and Dominic Pham who each share their takeaways from working in research positions.  Bios: Lauren Tuckley, the director of the Center for Research and Fellowships Zachariah John, a sophomore in the School of Foreign Service studying science technology and international affairs Dominic Pham,  a senior double majoring in biochemistry and comparative literature Sarah Watson, a senior in the School of Foreign Service studying regional and comparative studies Georgetown Resources: Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (GUROP) Center for Research and Fellowships at Georgetown Undergraduate Research Resources at Georgetown Georgetown's Mission and Information about Cura Personalis Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS) The Prospect blog Research: Adebisi, Yusuff Adebayo. “Undergraduate Students' Involvement in Research: Values, Benefits, Barriers and Recommendations.” Annals of Medicine and Surgery, vol. 81, 2022, pp. 104384–104384,  Belanger, A.

Bu hafta içi Van-Bitlis-Siirt havalisinde yoğun tempolu bir seyahatteydim. 2007-2008 kışında askerliğimi Bitlis'te yaptığım için, hem hatıralarımı tazelemiş oldum hem de Tatvan'da doktorluk vazifesine devam eden Talha Karadoğan kardeşime verdiğim ziyaret sözümü tuttum. Van Kalesi'nde başlayıp Tatvan ve Bitlis'e uzanan, ardından Siirt ve Tillo'dan Saîd Nursî'nin doğum yeri olan Nurs köyüne doğru devam eden, nihayet Doğubayazıt'taki İshak Paşa Sarayı'nda son bulan gezimizin benim için en heyecan verici ayaklarından biri, Van'ın Erciş ilçesine bağlı Ulupamir köyüydü. Ulupamir, etrafındaki yerleşim birimlerinin hiçbirine benzemiyor. Zira burada yaşayan nüfusun tamamı Kırgız Türkü. Muhteşem bir tabiatın eşlik ettiği kıvrım kıvrım yolları kat ederek ulaştığımız Ulupamir, daha ilk adımdan itibaren farklı atmosferiyle insanı kendisine çekiyor. Yüzyılların ötesinden taşıyıp getirdikleri kültür ve geleneklerini hâlâ canlı biçimde yaşayan ve yaşatan Kırgızların, Van'ın bir köyüne gelip yerleşmelerinin hikâyesi ta 1916 yılına dayanıyor. Büyük zorluklarla ve zaman zaman acılarla dolu olan bu serüvenin ana duraklarını şöyle özetlemek mümkün: Birinci Dünya Savaşı patlak verince, Çarlık Rusyası, savaşın çok çeşitli ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için Orta Asya'daki Müslüman halkların yaşadığı bölgelere yönelmiş. Yaşı tutanları zorla askere alan Rus yönetimi, Müslümanların elinde ne varsa hepsini gasp etmeye kalkışmış. Maruz kaldıkları baskıyı sindiremeyen Kırgızlar, 1916'da kapsamlı bir isyan başlatmışlar. Tarihe “Ürkün Olayı” nâmıyla geçen bu sürecin sonunda, binlerce Kırgız öldürülmüş, binlercesi de vatanlarından sürgün edilmiş. Sürgünlerden bir kısmı, Afganistan'ın kuzeydoğusundaki 4,500 rakımlı Pamir Yaylası'na gönderilmiş. Rusların amacı, Kırgızların burada aşırı soğuktan ölüp gitmesiymiş. Yine de, kayıplara rağmen, Kırgızlar direnmeyi ve iklime uyum sağlamayı başarmış. 1979'da Afganistan Sovyetler Birliği tarafından işgal edildiğinde, Kırgızlara bir kere daha yol görünmüş. Savaş şartları ve Rusların kendilerine olan düşmanlığı sebebiyle, bu defa Pakistan'a göç etmişler. Ancak Pakistan'daki iklim şartları ve aşırı sıcaklar, Kırgız göçmenleri arasında ölümlere sebep olmuş. Kırgızların bu dönemdeki lideri Hacı Rahmankul, farklı ülkelerin büyükelçilikleriyle temas kurarken, ABD'den “Sizi Alaska'ya iskân edelim” teklifi gelmiş. Kırgızlar, “Dinimizi ve kimliğimizi kaybederiz” diyerek bu teklife sıcak bakmamışlar. Ardından, 1980 darbesini takip eden süreçte Türkiye ile temas kurulmuş. Kenan Evren, Pakistan'daki diplomatik temsilciğimiz üzerinden kendisine ulaştırılan iltica talebine sıcak bakınca, Kırgızların Türkiye yolculuğu başlamış. İlk önce Adana'nın yaylalarına yerleştirilen Kırgızlar, daha sonra ikiye ayrılarak Malatya ve Van'a sevk edilmişler. Van seçeneği, bizzat kendilerinin “Bizi Türkiye'nin soğuk bir yerine yerleştirin. Hayvancılık da yapabilelim” isteği üzerine gündeme gelmiş. Başbakan Turgut Özal'ın direktifiyle Van'ın Erciş ilçesine bağlı Altındere köyünde Kırgızlar için kalıcı konutlar inşa edilmiş. Malatya ve Van'daki bütün Kırgızlar daha sonra buraya toplanmış; köyün adı da -Kırgızların talebiyle- “Ulupamir” olarak değiştirilmiş. Kısa bir süre huzur ve esenlik içinde yaşayan Kırgızlar, 1990'ların başından itibaren PKK'nın baskılarıyla karşılaşmaya başlamış. Terör baronları, Kırgızlara açık çek vermiş: “Devlet buralarda hâkimiyeti sağlayamaz. Bizden yana yolun, rahat edin.” Kırgız Ak Sakallılar heyeti ise, halkları adına PKK'ya şöyle cevap vermiş: “Türkiye devleti, en zor zamanlarımızda bize kucak açtı. Biz bu devlete sırtımızı dönmeyiz.” Ulupamir halkına bilenen PKK, 1993'de köye büyük bir saldırı düzenlemiş. Köy ahalisi, bu saldırıyı savuşturmayı başarmış ve teröristleri Ulupamir'e sokmamış. Sonrasında da Ulupamir'in gençleri sürekli arazide nöbet tutarak ve devriye gezerek güvenliğin sağlanmasına katkıda bulunmuş.

BEDIUZZAMAN SAID NURSI-The great mujaddid of the 20th century and the commentator of the Qur'an for all people and religions. RISALE-I NUR Collection and WORDS Bediuzzaman Said Nursi was born in 1876 in Eastern Turkey (the Village of Nurs) and died in 1960 in Urfa in Turkey. The Risale-i Nur collection is a six-thousand-page commentary on the Quran written by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi in accordance with the mentality of the age. Since in our age faith and Islam have been the objects of the attacks launched in the name of so called science and logic, Bediuzaman Said Nursi therefore concentrated in the Risale-i Nur on proving the truths of faith in conformity with modern science through rational proofs and evidence, and by decribing the miraculous aspects of the Quran that relate primarily to our century. This collection now has millions of readers both in and outside of Turkey. Bediuzzaman understood an essential cause of the decline of the Islamic world to be weakening of the very foundations of belief. His method was to analyse both belief and unbelief and to demonstrate through clearly reasoned arguments that not only is it possible, by following the method of the Quran, to prove rationally all the truths are the only rational explanation of existance, man and the universe. Bediuzzaman thus demonstrated in the form of easily understood stories, comparisons, explanations, and reasoned proofs that, rather than the truth of religion being incompatible with the findings of modern science, the materialist interpretation of those findings is irrational and absurd. Indeed, Bediuzzaman proved in the Risale-i Nur that science's breathtaking discoveries of the universe's functioning corroborate and reinforce the truths of religion. The Risale-i Nur shows that true happiness is only to be found in belief and knowledge of God, both in this world and the Hereafter. And it also points out the grevious pain and unhappiness that unbelief causes man's spirit and conscience, which generally the misguided attempt to block out through heedlessness and escapism, so that anyone with any sense may take refuge in belief. Bediuzzaman displayed an extraordinary intelligence and ability to learn from an early age, completing the normal course of Madrasa (religious school) education at the early age of fourteen, when he obtained his diploma. He became famous for both his prodigious memory and his unbeaten record in debating with other religious scholars. Another characteristic Bediuzzaman displayed from an early age was an instinctive dissatisfaction with the existing education system, which when older he formulated into comprehensive proposals for its reform. Contrary to the practice of religious scholars at that time, Bediuzzaman himself studied and mastered almost all the physical and mathematical sciences, and later studied philosophy, for he believed that it was only in this way that Islamic theology (Kalâm) could be renewed and successfully answer the attacks to which the Qur'an and Islam were then subject.

Hasan’a (ra), anne tarafından Hz. Hüseyin’e (ra) dayanan Bediüzzaman Said Nursî,1878'da Bitlis vilayetine bağlı Hizan ilçesi Nurs köyünde dünyaya geldi. Çocukluğunda çevresindeki medreselerde eğitim gördü. Kendisinde görülen harikulade zeka ve hafıza sebebiyle, önceleri Molla Said-i Meşhur diye tanındı. Daha sonra "Zamanın Harikası" anlamında "Bediüzzaman" ünvanıyla şöhret buldu. Talebelik yıllarında temel İslamî ilimlerle ilgili doksan kitabı ezberledi. Her gece bunlardan birini tekrar ediyordu. Bu tekrarlar O'nu, Kur'an ayetlerini derinlemesine anlamasına birer basamak oldu ve her bir Kur'an ayetinin bütün kâinatı ihata ettiğini gördü. I. Dünya Savaşı yıllarında doğu cephesinde gönüllü alay komutanı olarak hizmet etti. Savaş esnasında yaralanıp iki buçuk yıl Rusya'da esir kaldı. 1917'deki Bolşevik İhtilali esnasındaki kargaşadan yararlanıp esaretten kurtuldu. Dönüşte, Osmanlı'nın en üst düzey dinî danışma merkezi olan Darü'l-Hikmeti'l-İslamiye'de görev yaptı. Yaşadığı hayatını, kendi tabiriyle üç devreye ayıran Bediüzzaman, Eski Said, Yeni Said ve Üçüncü Said olarak değerlendirir. Bediüzzaman, "Eski Said" döneminde hangi ölçüler ile hareket etmiş ise, "Yeni Said" ve "Üçüncü Said Dönemi"nde de aynı temel ölçüler ve disiplinler ile hareket etmiştir. 1923-1960 arası 28 sene takip, tevkif, sürgün, mahkeme ve zindanlarda çile çekmiştir. Dünya zevki namına hiçbir şey tatmadı. Bütün ömrü harp meydanlarında, memleket mahkemelerinde veya esaret zindanlarında geçti. Kendi tabirince görmediği ezâ, çekmediği cefa kalmadı. Kaderin garip bir tecellisi olarak başına gelen bütün bu olaylar esnasında, Kur’ân’ın bu çağa bakan son dersi Nur Risalelerini en zor şartlar altında telif etti. Fen ve felsefeden gelen dehşetli dinsizlik cereyanına karşı Çin Seddi gibi bir sedd-i Kur’ânî oluşturdu. Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, 23 Mart 1960'ta Urfa'da Hakk'ın rahmetine kavuştu. Urfa'daki Halil-ur Rahman Dergahı'na defnedildi. Eski Said ve gerekse Yeni Said döneminde telif ettiği eserlerin toplam sayısı 196'dır. Risale-i Nur; Allah yolunda, Kur’anın elmas kılıncı olan iman hakikatleriyle manevi cihad etmeyi öğretir, imanı takviye eder, manevi terakkiyatı sağlar. Fenalığa karşı, iyilik ve fazileti, merhamet ve şefkati, birlik ve beraberliği, afv ve safvı (temizliği) ders verir. Bütün bunları bir mükafat beklemeyerek ve münhasıran, Allah rızasını gözeterek ifa etmeyi esas tutar. Risale-i Nur; öyle ateşli ve ateşin bir kitaptır ki, onu okuyan insanların ruhları alevlenir, nur-u imanla parlar ve dolar. Bu nadide eserin şayan-ı hayret olan intişarına en birinci saik ve sebep; Hak ve hakikati, gayet saf ve berrak bir surette izah ve ispat ederek, kalb ve dimağlara yerleştirmesidir. Talebelerinin şehadetiyle o, gecelerde, göz kamaştıran bir huşû ile sabaha kadar ubudiyette bulunmuş; yaz-kış bu âdetini değiştirmemiş; teheccüd, münâcat ve evradlarını asla terk etmemiştir.Bediüzzaman'ın yetiştirdikleri insanlar da hep böyle evrad u ezkarla hemdem, teheccüdde berdevam ağzı dualı mana insanları olagelmişlerdir. Biz ZAKIRIN olarak İslam büyüklerinin İbadet u taat ve evradlarina yogunlastigimizdan Üstad Hazretlerinin okuduğu evradları,tesbihatı hatırlayıp Kulubud Daria daki Yakarışlarını okuyacağız

This week on StoryWeb: James Holman’s book The Narrative of a Journey. For Jim, in honor of his birthday In 2007, my husband, Jim, and I heard about Jason Roberts’s book, A Sense of the World: How a Blind Man Became History’s Greatest Traveler. It sounded fascinating: a biography of a British naval officer who completely lost his sight at age 25 and then proceeded to travel around the world – and in the most exotic and, often, dangerous places. Born in 1786, James Holman rose to the rank of lieutenant in the British Royal Navy. When he fell ill and lost his sight in 1825, he was forced to give up his career as a naval officer. But in his time with the navy, he had been bitten by the travel bug – and travel became his life’s quest ever after. In 1832, he became the first blind person to circumnavigate the globe. Our favorite expedition found Holman at the edge of the world’s most famous live volcano – Mount Vesuvius. As I read Roberts’s biography aloud (a way we sometimes share books), I could barely make it through this scene – it was that hair-raising! I could not imagine myself – a sighted person – going to the very precipice of a live volcano, yet here was 19th-century blind James Holman pushing the envelope about as far as anyone could. Holman was a sensation in his time, and deservedly so. As one source says, “In a time when blind people were thought to be almost totally helpless, and usually given a bowl to beg with, Holman's ability to sense his surroundings by the reverberations of a tapped cane or horse's hoof-beats was unfathomable.” Roberts’s biography of Holman is a great way into the story of this extraordinary man’s life – and if you want a peak into the book, visit Roberts’s website. You can also listen to NPR’s story on A Sense of the World. If you’re hungry for more, you might want to check out Holman’s books. The Narrative of a Journey is available on Google Books, and the first volume of A Voyage Round the World is available at Project Gutenberg. Unfortunately, Holman’s life came to a sad end. Pensioned as a member of the Naval Knights of Windsor, he was required to live at Windsor Castle. Sounds grand, I know, but the reality was far different from what you might suppose. The accommodations were meager at best, and Holman – who longed to travel – chafed at the requirement that he live at Windsor Castle and attend religious services twice a day. He frequently applied for leaves of absence from his Windsor Castle duties and was granted such leaves from time to time, but not nearly as often as he desired. This active, still vital man hated to be confined to one place. Jason Roberts, Holman’s biographer, sums up his legacy this way: He was known simply as the Blind Traveler – a solitary, sightless adventurer who fought the slave trade in Africa, survived a frozen captivity in Siberia, hunted rogue elephants in Ceylon and helped chart the Australian outback. Once a celebrity, a bestselling author and inspiration to Charles Darwin and Sir Richard Francis Burton, the charismatic, witty James Holman outlived his fame, dying in . . . obscurity [in 1857]. . . . Jim and I are thrilled that Roberts has worked so hard to resurrect interest in Holman’s extraordinary life. Whether you read The Narrative of a Journey, A Voyage Round the World, or A Sense of the World, you’ll be inspired by all that is possible for human beings who dare to tackle the impossible! Visit thestoryweb.com/holman for links to all these resources. Listen now as I read an excerpt from James Holman’s 1822 book, The Narrative of a Journey. In this scene, Holman tells of going to the very edge of Mount Vesuvius.   We proceeded along a fair road, until we arrived at a house about half way to the hermitage, where we rested a short time, and refreshed ourselves with wine and water; after this the road gradually became worse, so that if I had not, on former occasions, witnessed the astonishing powers of asses and mules, I should have conceived it impossible for them to have advanced along it. We reached the hermitage about half after eight o’clock, and at the suggestion of our guide, recruited ourselves with some of the hermit’s bread and wine; and then began the more arduous part of our journey. The road soon became very soft, being constituted of the light dust which had been thrown out from the crater; interspersed, however, with large and sharp stones, ejected from the same source; some of which were of such immense size, that did we not bear in mind the astonishing powers of elementary fire, we could scarcely credit the possibility of such masses being hurled to this distance, from out of the bowels of the mountain. One of the greatest inconveniences I found in this ascent, was from the particles of ashes insinuating themselves within my shoes, and which annoyed my feet so much, that I was repeatedly compelled to take them off, in order to get rid of the irritating matter. Hence I would recommend future travellers to ascend in white leathern boots. At length we reached the only part of the mountain, which was at this time in a burning state, and which was throwing out flames and sulphurous vapour; when the guide taking me by the arm, conducted me over a place where the fire and smoke issued from apertures between the stones we walked upon, and which we could hear crackling under our feet every instant as if they were going to be separated, and to precipitate us into the bowels of the mountain. The sublime description of Virgil did not fail to occur to my recollection. By turns a pitchy cloud she rolls on high By turns hot embers from her entrails fly, And flakes of mounting flames lick the sky; Oft from her bowels massy rocks are thrown, And shiver d from their force come piecemeal down. Oft liquid fires of burning sulphur glow, Nurs’d by the fiery spring that burns below. My imagination, I admit, was actively alive to the possible accidents which might have occurred; I followed, however, with all the confidence which my conviction of being under the care of a cautious leader, did not fail to inspire. My guide appeared highly gratified with the incident, asserting that it was the first time one deprived of sight had ever ventured there; and adding, that he was sure it would much surprise the king, when the circumstance became known to him, in the report which is daily made of the persons who visit the mountain The ground was too hot under our feet, and the sulphurous vapour too strong to allow of our remaining long in this situation; and when he thought he had given us a sufficient idea of the nature of this part of the mountain, we retired to a more solid and a cooler footing; previous to which, however, he directed my walking-cane towards the flames, which shrivelled the ferrule, and charred the lower part; – this I still retain as a memorial. From hence we were conducted to the edge of a small crater, now extinguished, from whence about two months before, the Frenchman, desirous of the glory of dying a death worthy of the great nation, plunged into the fiery abyss. The guide placed my hand on the very spot where he was stated to have last stood, before he thus rashly entered upon eternity. I was anxious to have proceeded up the cone to the border of the superior and large crater, but our guide objected, indeed refused to conduct us to it, unless we awaited the dawn of morning; the moon, he said, was fast descending, so that we should be involved in darkness before we could attain it; and that consequently it would be attended with risk in the extreme to make the attempt. This was a check to the completion of my anxious wishes, but our arrangements at Naples neither made it convenient to my friend, or myself, to remain until morning; nor would it have been pleasant to have spent some hours here without refreshment, more particularly as I had left my coat behind near the hermitage, and at this elevation we found it extremely cold. After spending a short time in examining some of the immense masses of calcined rock, many of them forming solid cubes of twenty feet diameter, and which had been at different times thrown out by the volcanic power; we began to retrace our steps towards the hermitage, distant, as our guide informed us, four miles, but which must have been an over-rated estimate. As we approached this latter place, we met a party ascending the mountain, with an intention of waiting the break of day, so as to enable them to reach the very summit.
