    Between Perspectives: Narratives, Lived Experience, and Culture
    with Octavio Domont de Serpa and Nuria Malajovich Muñoz
    Philosophy, Psychiatry, and Psychology 26 (2): 173-176. 2019.
    We thank the commentators for the dialog and discussion they have proposed. We begin by remarking that telling and listening to stories are not an original thesis, especially if interpretive hermeneutics and phenomenology are central references.

Since then, we have become used to the idea that there is a hierarchy in medical evidence. Its upper stratum, the gold standard of evidence, contains systematic reviews and m…Read more
  • In this paper, a detailed model incorporating simplified geometric resolution of a molten carbonate fuel cell with detailed and dynamic simulation of all physical, chemical, and electrochemical processes in the stream-wise direction is presented. The model was developed using mass and momentum conservation, electrochemical and chemical reaction mechanisms, and heat-transfer. Results from the model are compared with data from an experimental MCFC unit. Furthermore, the model was applied to predic…Read more

    Schizophrenia, experience and culture
    Dialogues in Philosophy, Mental and Neuro Sciences 3 (2): 50-51. 2010.
    The work of Professor Kraus is more than welcome at a time in which Psychopathology has become increasingly shallow and lacking in density, content with the role of an ideal “observer” whose only ambition is an objective description of signs and symptoms in order to fulfil operational criteria which reliably bestow a place for the case under observation within the grid of diagnostic classification.
