The effect of integrative
community therapy groups on
health promotion
Conducted a few years ago by
the Medical-Spirit
Association of the Federal
District (AME-DF), this
therapeutic proposal - also
known as TCI groups - has
brought benefits and bonds
of companionship to many
families, in addition to
providing well-being to its
participants. In an
interview with journalist
Giovana Campos, doctor Maria
da Penha Batista,
coordinator of the ICT group
in the Federal District,
tells us how it came about
and what the work consists
of. The article
is one of the highlights of
this edition.
Another highlight is the
interview that the writer
Giseti Marques Teodoro gave
to our collaborator Orson
Peter Carrara. She has been
spirit since 1998, she was
born in the city of Sousa
(PB) and currently resides
in Cajamar (SP). Author of
several works, she motivates
the habit of reading,
carrying out with this
objective a weekly program
on the Internet. In the
interview, she tells us
about her initiation in
Spiritism and her work in
the field of literature.
Kardec and alms,
this is the title and theme
of the Special by Ricardo
Baesso de Oliveira, from
Juiz de Fora (MG). He is a
writer and also a member of
the Editorial Board of our
magazine, he recalls that
Allan Kardec did not condemn
alms, considering it as a
form of material charity,
and believed that refusing
to help materially those who
need our help, being able to
do it, it is an act of
extreme and cruel
selfishness. The article is
one of the highlights of
this edition.
