Grief and Disease
A Group Dynamic Approach to Teaching and Learning about Grief
Effective classroom teaching, and learning about grief and mourning must involve both didactic instruction and the group dynamics of personal involvement. An appreciation of the individuality of the grieving experience must be incorporated into the broader understanding of grief in its generic aspects. In this paper such an approach is described and illustrated with verbatim excerpts from an exercise conducted with eighty participants in a worksh…

The Need for a New Medical Model
The dominant model of disease today is biomedical, and it leaves no room within its framework for the social, psychological, and behavioral dimensions of illness. A biopsychosocial model is proposed that provides a blueprint for research, a framework for teaching, and a design for action in the real world of health care.

Psychologic Processes and Ischemic Stroke (Occlusive Cerebrovascular Disease)
A retrospective anamnestic study of 32 men experiencing a total of 35 ischemic strokes revealed that the stroke typically occurred during a period of sustained or intermittent and often severe emotional disturbance which had been going on for weeks or months and which sometimes had become intensified shortly before the stroke occurred. Certain personality features were commonly represented, including a behavioral pattern, designated pressured, to…
The Role of Psychological Process in a Somatic Disorder
In 32 patients from the United States and Israel with multiple sclerosis the role of psychological processes was examined in relationship to the transitional period between health and the onset of disease. In 28 of these patients the emergence of symptoms ultimately diagnosed as those of the demyelinating disorder occurred in conjunction with a psychologically stressful situation. The corresponding intra-psychic state was characterized by difficu…

Ascent from Chaos
Guilt, Pain, and Success
A case is presented in which is considered the role of pain in making success possible in a guilt-ridden man. A glomus tumor of the toe and a peptic ulcer both acted as sources of severe pain for more than 25 years, during which the sufferer achieved great success in the business world. The diagnosis and successful surgical cure of both lesions, with complete and permanent relief of pain, marked the beginning of a progressive decline in his healt…

Natural and Histamine-Induced Gastric Secretion During Waking and Sleeping States
Nocturnal hydrochloric acid secretion was studied in 28 healthy young men by continuous gastric aspiration. Twelve subjects were observed during one night only, the other 16 for from two to six nights. The subjects' states of wakefulness or sleep were evaluated by electroencephalography and direct observation, and were categorized as waking, interrupted sleep, and sustained sleep. Histamine or Histalog was injected subcutaneously twice during eac…

A Study of an Infant With a Gastric Fistula
Gastric secretory, psychological, and behavioral observations were carried out in 59 experiments in an infant (with a gastric fistula) from the age of 15 to 20 months. Of a number of observed physiological variables, only the total hydrochloric acid secretion rate is considered in this paper. The total hydrochloric acid secretion rate was intimately integrated with the total behavioral activity of the infant. Outgoing affective states, be they li…

Electroencephalographic and Psychological Studies of a Case of Migraine with Severe Preheadache Phenomena
The clinical and electroencephalographic findings in a case of migraine with severe and repeated preheadache focal neurological phenomena are presented. Psychological data on the patient revealed many of the attacks to have occurred in a setting of unexpressed anger. Evidence is presented to support the vasospatic nature of these attacks in migraine, and the relationship of the preheadache phenomena in migraine and the focal hypertensive encephal…
