Introduction to the Conference Giuseppe R.Brera Rector -Università Ambrosiana

The educational training in pedagogical, psychological, medical work with adolescents is still today fragmented into theories that separate in an epistemologically wrong way the spirit (the natural question of meaning of life) the emotional and cognitive symbolic world and biological variables, three dimensions in continuous interaction and that the person pilots, with choices that may be true or false for his good. This fragmentation and the cultural abolition of the idea of the objective truth existence, does not grasp the essence of the person and it is the basis of the bio-technological, psychological, sociological and spiritualist reductionism with devastating and pathogenic consequences. The psycho-bio technological reductionism is useful for the profit and social identity of professional roles to the detriment of the health of adolescents and in general of people and of misconceptions of health systems , health education courses and medical education. Kairology, a hermeneutic of human nature born in 1993 and the basis of the Person-centered theory of adolescence and teleonomic substance of the paradigm change of Medicine, Person-Centered Medicine, together with the interactionist progress of the biological sciences, has allowed to unify the interpretative theory of the development of the adolescent and the nature of the person, giving a great contribution to the awareness of the transcendent dignity of man and woman. The natural question to give a meaning to life, revealed by anthropoanalysis, requests the  truth and freedom as necessary condition to answer and is the basis of the awareness of the moral substance of human nature, in all dimensions, based on the objective truth and revealed by God for the good of man to intelligent people.. The purpose of this conference, introductory to the courses of Milan School of Medicine of the Ambrosiana University which has in Adolescentology and Person-Centered Medicine, new paradigm that introduced in 1998, primary excellences pioneering in the world, is to further promote and teach the epistemological change about adolescence and Medicine. The understanding of being a human person and the method to organize knowledge is now essential by the clinical method, today still wrongly taught and applied because of the pandemic of epistemological illiteracy, and that must start from the “who” and not from the “thing” that makes the patient subject only of biological clinical diagnosis, as if he were not involved as a subject in pathogenesis and healing. because the interaction between subjectivity and biological reactions .In adolescence and old age , but in every age.  this error is devastating and iatrogenic and only functional to profit In fact, being comes before every “doing” and every act, as St. John Paul II taught. The pragmatist relativism spread even in unthinkable   environments, should not infect the teaching to clinical and educational activity, “Kairos”   to improve the quality of being a true human person in education and care. This conference  is an introduction to the International Congress:” Assisi 2025-Person-centered health and the resilient adolescent  that will be presented by prof.Claudio Violato and Richard Fiordo. In this conference I will have the honor to present the candidacy by the Ambrosiana University of Prof. Mario  Biava for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, for his discovery of the epigenetic code and the introduction of stem cell reprogramming  which changed thr paradigm of clinical therapy, fundamental in the therapy of tumors and neuro-degenerative diseases, and opening a new time of clinical applications and interactionist research according to Person-Centered Medicine Summary
