  • The Response to Psychotherapy in Chronic Ulcerative Colitis

    Aaron Karush, George E Daniels et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1969

  • Psychophysiological Correlations in Ulcerative Colitis

    Aaron Karush, ROBERT B HIATT et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1955

    Six patients with chronic ulcerative colitis were observed during psychotherapeutic interviews, and physiological activity of the salivary gland, colon and rectum, and peripheral-vascular bed was recorded simultaneously. The significant emotion in patients with ulcerative colitis, coincident with the appearance of segmental colonic motility, was fear. Where rage toward parental figures was present, its expression was inhibited by fear of retaliat…
