    Overcoming the Schism: Following a Dialog with F.Ye. Vasilyuk that Never Occurred

    The method of Understanding Psychotherapy developed by Fyodor Ye. Vasilyuk is the flesh of the flesh of its creator who was an individual of the pervasive active empathy. Vasilyuk’s system of views is ‘sensitive’ to other systems; it is empathically attuned to them, and it carefully re-endows them with understanding. Vasilyuk, who described the schism between two– research and practical – psychologies, did not limit himself to the statement. In developing his psychology, he goes beyond the boundaries of his own ‘understanding psychotherapy’ by denoting and visualizing the diverse connections that unite science and practice. But researchers, venturing beyond the limits of a particular psychological theory, are required to seek the most common supports to construct integral models. From this perspective we consider here the category of sensation that possesses a deceptive simplicity, and note the role it plays in order to comprehend the essence of experience, the central concept in Vasilyuk’s theory, as well as in order to solve the problem of integration. While pointing out the existence of impersonal sensations that are not related to the I, we define experience as a sensation that is present in the I. Therefore, experience as an activity is bidirectional: it can ‘introduce’ sensations into the composition of the I, and ‘bring’ them beyond the limits of the I. Different forms of the I are described as ‘dwelling places’ of sensations with the status of experiences

    In the following article, we have studied the variations of natural irradiation of diamond crystals. The natural diamonds in some cases show homogeneous green colour, caused by irradiation of the entire crystals volume. Radiation damage effects, produced by the low-radiation doses, are detected by the luminescence of the GR1 system. The high-radiation doses cause bluish hue, turning into a greenish colour, while the maximum level of volume irradiation produces the black crystals. The crystals with homogeneous volumetric black colour distribution were also studied. The major source of radiation in such cases may represent a local stream containing water rich in 222Rn and its decay products. There is a review of the geological environment in which diamonds could be irradiated due to the decay of the 222Rn containing in water
