Help us to help others


Esta nueva entrada del blog, es algo más "curiosa" por así decirlo, de lo que estamos acostumbrados a poner, pero me ha parecido interesante y si alguien puede ayudar a este paciente pues bienvenido sea.
Resulta que el doctor Roosevelt del Hospital Psiquiátrico de Clarion (en Estados Unidos) y su equipo, han dado con un paciente al que encontraron en la calle y no sabe o no puede ni escribir ni hablar, lo único que hace dicho paciente es dibujar.








Estos dibujos como podeis ver, a pesar de su complejidad, no son caóticos y ni desordenados, si no que parecen que quieren representar algo, lo que no saben los doctores es si es un mensaje, un plano, máquinas o algo similar, lo que si hace es dibujarlos, cada vez que intentan entrevistarlo o diagnosticarlo, por lo que suponen que debe de ser algún tipo de mensaje dirigido hacia ellos, así que han creado un blog (http://therapyhimher.tumblr.com/), para que la gente que pueda descifrar el supuesto mensaje se ponga en contacto con ellos. Aquí pongo un extracto de dicho blog (en inglés):
I’ll start introducing myself, my name is Doctor Roosevelt, from the Department of Psychiatric Help of Clarion Psychiatric Hospital in Pennsylvania. Six months ago one patient was found in the street, fully naked but with no signs of violence, the police reporting says than the patient is not in any list of missing people.

For six months we have that patient in observation and we diagnose than the patient, whose ability to communicate is complex, can not speak or write, only communicates through drawings and the team of psychiatrists from the center thinks it’s impossible to decipher the language used, if it is a language, and the message hidden in his drawings, if it is hiding something, we insist that it is impossible for us to decipher the meaning of the drawings and, therefore, we can not yet find a therapy for this patient.

About the drawings and according to two experts, myself included, we are confident that the drawings depict some kind of story, and don’t know if it is abstract or concrete, some of those who have seen these drawings agree that it is orderly and scrupulous, but we don’t know fine if this represents machinery, buildings, city plans or are simply the product of imagination.

With the help and consent of my team we decided to publish some drawings made ​​by that patient in order that among all Internet are able to decipher and help this patient to try to communicate with us.

From already thank you very much for all your attention; any comments or valuation of an expert in psychiatry or any person outside that branch of science will be considered a valuable contribution for the study of that patient.

Please, just say what you think about the drawings in a comment, what you see and what it reminds you, all the point of view are interesting.

No digo que intentéis descifrarlos, pero me ha parecido curioso ya que en el dibujo se ven proyectadas muchas patologías y es un potente instrumento de comunicación.
