Abstract:

Tory means global health in Tupi-Guarani (indigenous Brazilian language) and a gate for dimensional transition in Japanese. This word has been chosen to describe a conceptual- and experiential-based model of the mind/body integration. It has evolved from a 5y clinical practice and supervision experience, both in a private office and in a community outreach program offered in the Service of Applied Psychology at UERJ, Brazil. The referred clinical practice has innovated in the psychological attendance for atypical neurodevelopment through a genuine integration (without juxtaposition) of prosocial inclinations, neurocognitive performance and emotional regulation. In parallel, the same integration of such psychological features has been empirically approached among healthy young college students, through a newly developed and harmoniously contextualized data analysis. Inspired by the commonalities between prosocial principles and physical principles of light, this experiential and empirical analysis resulted in a graphical paradigm-shifting representation of the complex and intrincate neurological and (neuro)psychological relationship. This delineation incorporates individuality to a non-classificatory understanding and to a self-engaged health optimization. It is expected to inspire a propagating unit across specializations, cultures and generations.
