Schizophrenia is a severe psychotic disorder (or a group of mental disorders) marked by severely impaired thinking, emotions, and behaviors. At this CEU class, Dr. Yang will systematically explain the understanding and treatment of schizophrenia diseases in psychiatry, also the unique psychological approach in TCM. Schizophrenia type disease in TCM, the diagnosis and treatment, has been used for a long history, and traditionally Dian and Kuang are the key concept regarding the mental disorder. We have to know and Yin and Yang status and understand the shen activity and its property. From TCM, the Shen status evaluation is a crucial point for the treatment. Shen can be disturbed from the mild disability until the severe Shen disharmony causing Shen unity; Shen awareness and other Shen properties and functions disharmonies and lose the balance and disturbed. Therefore in treating of schizophrenia type Shen disturbances, we prefer to use the traditional harmony tools to remedy the yin yang balance, remedy the shen structure, and recover the shen awareness and general functioning. Even the disorder needs to be longer time in the treatment and life management but TCM treatment is a good approach to relief the suffering and be functioning in the daily life, also very helpful in their non treatment period and even with the medication.



Chang-Qing (Joseph) Yang, LAc, received his 5-year bachelor’s degree and 3-year master degree in TCM from the TCM University of Heilongjiang, Harbin, China in 1984.

The Eight Extraordinary Channels are one of the most fascinating aspects of the acupuncture channel system. These channels are the bridge between prenatal and postnatal influences in our life. The Eight Extraordinary channel’s terrain is Jing, essence and source Qi. These channels influence the yuan or deep layers of our body, mind and spirit.

The Eight Extraordinary channels are also called the Eight Psychic channels. These multi-dimensional channels can treat deep, chronic and old patterns that influence the three treasures of our life: the physical, emotional and spiritual. These channels comprise the three tan tien and are the inner circuit system of communication between Jing and Shen (Zhi and Shen). The Eight Psychic channels can release one from emotional and spiritual imbalances and realign one to their yuan shen; their original spirit. This experience can inspire and motivate a person to exert their will to live the type of life they desire. They can apply their Zhi and passion to live from their spirit. David will show how this is our quest in life by viewing the inner map of our body, revealed by the pathways of the Eight Extraordinary channels, and the ancient Nei Jing Tu: The Inner Landscape Map of the Body.

In this workshop, David will introduce each of the Eight Extraordinary channels with an emphasis on their psycho-emotional and spiritual qualities. The focus of this workshop is clinical applications. David will present a framework to develop customize treatments for each patient. This is the essence of Chinese medicine.

David’s roots are in the Taoist arts. He began studying Taoist philosophy, mediation, nei dan and Qi Gong. It is nei dan and Taoist meditation that is the guiding understanding and experience to perceive the insight of the psycho-emotional and spiritual qualities of the Eight Extraordinary channels. He will share these insights.

The great Chinese medical physician Li Shizhen, is famous for saying to understand the Eight Extraordinary channels one needs to cultivate them. David will introduce the foundation meditation or nei dan cultivation: the Microcosmic Orbit. This meditation is also called the small heavenly orbit or the orbit meditation. The heavenly orbit is the Yin and Yang circuit comprised of the Ren and Du channels. Throughout the workshop we will practice the heavenly orbit meditation, beginning the process of bringing the Eight Extraordinary channels alive through this ancient meditation.

A faculty member at Emperors College and other Chinese Medical Schools since 1994, Dr. Twicken has taught acupuncture courses, philosophy of oriental medicine, tai chi chuan, medical qi gong, feng shui, I Ching, Chinese astrology, secondary vessels and medical history, and is a clinical supervisor.

Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment in TCM

(7 CEUs – Category 1 – CAB Approved)

Sunday September 22, 2013 - 9:00AM - 5:00PM

Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine

Peripheral Neuropathy is a common disease in the USA. The estimation is that between 20 and 30 million cases of peripheral neuropathy exist within the borders of the United States with millions more being diagnosed each year. Already, a full 8% of the millions of Medicare patients have peripheral neuropathy as a secondary diagnosis in their doctor provided diagnostic record. In TCM there are many ways to improve the condition. The traditional idea is more focusing on the energy flow and how to regulate the energy to help the body recover from the abnormal flow to the healthy flow condition. Also, the diagnosis is not a single-minded type as there are several types of patterns in TCM diagnosis which are very helpful for clinic treatment as an alternative health care approach. The course will share the experience and knowledge for all aspects of treatment style and possibilities and will discuss the specific clinic condition and the proper treatment options for each patient.



Chang-Qing (Joseph) Yang, LAc received his 5-year bachelor’s degree and 3-year master degree in TCM from the TCM University of Heilongjiang, Harbin, China in 1984. Since then, he was a faculty and clinician of the university, specializing in liver disease and mental disorder. He earned his master’s degree from the same university in 1987, majoring in pattern and human constitution. In 1991, he became a psychiatry trainee at the Aichi Medical University in Aichi, Japan and received his PhD degree in Psychiatry and Neurology from the Kobe University in Kobe, Japan.

Tourette's disorder (TD) is a CNS neurological condition that usually begins in childhood. It causes a child to make sounds or words (vocal tics) and body movements (motor tics) that are beyond his or her control. TD motor tics usually begin between ages 3 and 8. Vocal tics can begin as early as age 3. Tics generally are at their worst about age 12. In most children, tics go away or decrease quite a bit in the teen years, but can continue into adulthood. In TCM, we have to pay attention to the mind and body. Many youngsters have difficulty communicating with their parents during their mental and physical development. The course will provide the techniques and explain how to approach the children with their emotional issues and the type of stress in children and teenagers. Also, the lifestyle checks help patients in coping with their stressful emotional waves. Acupuncture is very important in balancing the internal deviation of energy. The herbal formula is a very important tool to help patients as well but goes deeper to remedy the deviation according to the clinical pattern diagnosis.



Chang-Qing (Joseph) Yang, LAc received his 5-year bachelor’s degree and 3-year master degree in TCM from the TCM University of Heilongjiang, Harbin, China in 1984. Since then, he was a faculty and clinician of the university, specializing in liver disease and mental disorder. He earned his master’s degree from the same university in 1987, majoring in pattern and human constitution. In 1991, he became a psychiatry trainee at the Aichi Medical University in Aichi, Japan and received his PhD degree in Psychiatry and Neurology from the Kobe University in Kobe, Japan. He is presently a clinic supervisor and faculty member at the Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, CA.
