Psychologic Correlates of Growth Hormone and Adrenal Secretory Responses of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization
Twenty-two patients were studied during hospital admission for cardiac catheterization. Two independent observers rated their behavior at 15-min intervals over the 3-hour catheterization procedure in categories of affect, arousal and degree of interpersonal engagement. These rated data were used together with information obtained from retrospective interviews to assign each patient to one of the behavioral groups designated anxious-engaged, anxio…

Habituation of Large and Small GSRs
105 college students merely sat in a soundproof, light-proof chamber for 10 min. while their spontaneous GSR activity was recorded. When the spontaneous GSRs were divided into large and small ones, the results indidicated that the large GSRs habituated over time while the small GSRs did not. The results were interpreted as supporting two different types of GSR activity
Operant Conditioning of the GSR Using Partial Reinforcement
This study was designed to determine the influence of partial reinforcement upon the rate of emission of unelicited GSRs. 90 college students were divided into 2 groups with respect to delivery of visual reinforcement, Contingent (C) and Noncontingent (NC). The Contingent group was divided further into 3 subgroups, each of which received a different schedule of partial reinforcement; each contingent group had a yoked Noncontingent control. The ov…
Normal Heartbeat Sound and the Behavior of Newborn Infants--A Replication Study
A group of infants exposed to a simulated heartbeat sound at 45 decibels during the first 4 days of life did not respond differently in terms of weight gain, activity, or formula intake from a group of control infants not so exposed. A significant positive correlation between weight gain and food intake was noted. Some of the pertinent differences between this replication and the previous study by Salk are considered in an effort to clarify some …
Role of a Vicarious Object in the Adaptation to Object Loss
This report has been a further consideration of the vicarious object mechanism of adjustment focusing on the person used as a vicarious object and his adaptations when a change in the relation ensues. Most of the children with leukemia had been vicarious objects for their mothers, largely because of emotional deprivations for the mother preceding and during the pregnancy with the child. During later circumstances involving personal losses and fur…
Psychological Factors and Reticuloendothelial Disease
Observations are reported on 33 children and adolescents below age 20 with leukemia. The usual diagnostic categories, symptoms, and age and sex distribution occurred in this group. The frequency of various types of loss, separation, or threats of separation for the individual child is described. These losses included advent of a sibling rival, change of home, change of school, and loss or threat of loss of a significant person such as the father …
Role of a Vicarious Object in the Adaptation to Object Loss
Psychosomatic study of patients with leukemia and lymphoma led to observations of the mode of adjustment to loss of a significant person in the early life of these patients. The majority of the adult patients had adapted to the early losses with processes differing in many respects from the usually described mechanisms of mourning or melancholia or hypochondriasis. The mechanisms described are by no means unique for persons who develop leukemia o…
Psychological Factors and Reticuloendothelial Disease
Observations are reported on 32 women with lymphocytic, myelocytic, or monocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, reticulum-cell sarcoma, and lymphosarcoma. It is inferred that all of these women had had an unresolved attachment to their mother. Individually they presented various personality characteristics and could be divided into four groups, designated as mothering, clinging, isolated, and manly. The occurrence of various types of losses, separa…
Process in Psychosomatic Disorders
I have presented some ideas for consideration in viewing the human organism; ideas which have developed from observation of somatic and psychological manifestations in patients with lymphomas and leukemias. These patients were studied in a general hospital influenced by the more comprehensive concepts of human biology fostered by John Romano.15 These ideas have proven of use in better understanding process in psychosomatic disorders. They are pre…
Psychological Factors and Reticuloendothelial Disease
A psychosomatic study was made of consecutive patients with all types of leukemia and lymphoma as they were admitted to a general hospital. Reported here are the first 20 men and boys studied. In all of these cases, the symptoms and the recognition of the disease occurred while the patient was having to adjust to multiple stresses, which arose from multiple sources. In 17 of the 20 patients, these stresses included separation from a significant p…
