Psycho-somatic
disorders and psychological medicine
S.P. Ghosh |
The
author in the present investigation has studied twenty cases of psycho-somatic
disorders and of three different categories: (i) digestive disorders,
(ii) circulatory disorders, and (iii) cardiac disorders. He puts
emphasis on the emotional stress as one of the important causative
factors of these disorders. He also believes in the `organ inferiority'
hypothesis and family predesposition as other subsidiary factors. He commends 7en and Yogic practices of Japan and India as effective therapies for these disorders. These practices like long practiced psycho-analysis have suggestive values and reform the whole personality of the patient. |
