Psychophysiological Reactions Associated with Qigong Therapy

"Qigong as a part of the traditional Chinese medicine is similar to Western "meditation," Indian "Yoga" or Japanese "Zen," which can all be included in the category of traditional psychotherapy. A series of physiological and psychological effects occur in the course of Qigong training, but inappropriate training can lead to physical and mental disturbances."

Qigong Disease: What It Is & What to Do about It

"When l was an intern at the Lung Hua Hospital in Shanghai in
1982, l saw a small but steady stream of patients who were diagnosed with "qigong disease" or "taiji disease." Therefore,
people need to be a little careful when practicing qigong."

Culture-Bound Psychiatric Disorders Associated with Qigong Practice in China

Qi-Gong Psychotic Reaction

"Qi-gong psychotic reaction has been described in recent years as a new culture-bound syndrome in China. I have been able to find little information on it, although it is listed in the DSM-IV and the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders."

Are There Dangerous Qigong Teachers?

"The danger of belonging to such a cult is that it dulls the intellect. Some people become mindless robots and accept everything at face value instead of using logic, science or proper statistical methods. For example, a common claim is that a Master can cure any disease. This fact has never been verified."

My Odyssey Into The World Of Qigong

"I spent much time finding Qigong magazines and books, reading many amazing accounts of the extraordinary abilities of Qigong Masters, and the healing powers of Qigong. I sampled many techniques with the hope of hitting on the right one for Kundalini help....."

A Brief History of Qigong

"Many different martial Qigong styles were created based on the theories and principles of Buddhist and Daoist Qigong. This period lasted until the overthrow of the Qing dynasty in 1911; from that point Chinese Qigong training was mixed with Qigong practices
from India, Japan, and many other countries."

Book Review: Soothing The Troubled Mind

"This book was published in 1987 by unnamed "Authors" from Hangzhou and is a fairly thorough examination of schizophrenia from both a western and Chinese medical perspective. There is some satisfying material on the traditional understanding of mental disorders (principally dian-kuang) in Chinese medicine, with quotations and opinions from many doctors through the ages."
