Methodological value of dialectic categories in the teaching-learning process of the clinical diagnosis

Abstract

Among the dialectic categories, the singular, the particular and the general are philosophic categories that have being widely used in the study and development of the teaching educative process in the Clinic Sciences. The expression of these philosophic categories is particularly obvious to achieve the clinical diagnosis. In the daily practice, the importance of the adequate recognizance of the dialectic categories allowing leading and analyzing the processes developing in nature, society and thoughts is ignored in a repetitive form. In the article we presented the authors´ opinion about the manifestation and usage of the categories the general, the particular and the singular, in the analysis and synthesis generated when making the clinical diagnosis, always accompanied with mental processes like induction and deduction, and others. In this work we insisted in the necessity of recognizing the dialectic unity of the before mentioned philosophic categories in the clinical diagnostic to achieve its aim; and its use in the teaching educative process, as a didactic tool allowing a better analysis and understanding of the diagnostic process, where the particular plays a relevant role as an hegemonic dialectic category, for its achievement. When considering the value of these categories we get the concretization of the medical acting in the diagnosis and solution of the main problems affecting the individual and guaranty the clinical diagnosis without encyclopedism and always centered in the health problem that has to be solved.
