[Physicians in the northern part of Schleswig at the time of reunification with Denmark]. / Marie Storm-Hollensen og Hans Storm. Læger i krydsfeltet mellem tysk og dansk omkring Genforeningen 1920.

Marie Hollensen (1884-1942) and Hans Storm (1886-1945) were Danish-minded inhabitants of Schleswig, a part of Denmark conquered in 1864 by Prussia. Both wanted to become general medical practitioners in their homeland. As a Danish medical degree would not allow them to practise in Germany they were forced to take their medical degrees in Germany. They met at the University of Heidelberg and had married in 1918. After the reunification in 1920, they practised general medicine in Graasten. Both had an extraordinary life story. Marie was daughter of a farmer in a rural community, Broager, was forced to go to a German elementary school, but later went to folk high schools in Denmark. After having passed the required German Arbitur (upper secondary school-leaving examination) in Berlin, she entered medical schools in Germany. Hans lived with his father in Königsberg in East Prussia. He was sent to a secondary school in Hillerød, studied philosophy, law and finally medicine in Copenhagen and at German universities. During The Great War he was forced to join the German Army and served at various military hospitals in Flensborg. Marie and Hans became popular general practitioners with the people in and around Graasten. Marie became the personal physician of crown prince Frederik and crownprincess Ingrid when they resided at the casle in Graasten. The orbiatuary tstified to their commitment to patient care and their personal integrity.

Music as knowledge in Shamanism and other healing traditions of Siberia.

Several presenters made the point that one cannot look at narrative alone, without taking into account the music, dance, and drumming that, in many settings, go along with it. One of these presenters was Marilyn Walker, who has had the good fortune to work with healers in Siberia. Although academic in approach, Marilyn's paper also recognizes the importance of experiential ways of knowing. In her Quebec City presentation, she shared some of this experiential dimension by showing and commenting on videotaped segments featuring three Siberian healers. Walker's paper discusses healing at several levels. In addition to several healing dimensions that she lists at the end of her paper, she mentions the physiological effects of music, dance, and drumming. Current research is leading to a better understanding of how trauma affects the brain and the body, and ways that various therapies, including new therapies focusing on sensorimotor effects, can promote healing. Along with these developments has come a greater appreciation and understanding among some mental health practitioners of some of the neuropsychological processes by which traditional practices such as narrative, singing, drumming, and dancing, may bring about healing.
