¡¡¡¡Psychology(ÐÄÀíѧ)has a new application in the field of medicine£®Many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems£®In large hospitals, modern therapy(ÁÆ·¨)seems to focus on the physical disease£®Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines£®Some doctors have recognized this as a problem£®They are now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine£®The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight£®
¡¡¡¡The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically£®The body of the patient changes because of the disease£®He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease£®Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change£®The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones£®For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M£®D£®, have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes£®She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry£®Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurses£®Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery£®Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that£®Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the ¡°whole¡± patient£®
¡¡¡¡The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive£®The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor(Ö×Áö)in the body£®In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy£®The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink£®For another cancer patient, Dr£®Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells£®The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells£®Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease£®
¡¡¡¡Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works£®However, this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change£®They become more confident because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease£®
¡¡¡¡Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy£®At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply£®The patient thinks only about one thing£®He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or rather in a trance(´ßÃß״̬)£®Then the physician makes ¡°a suggestion¡± to the patient about the medical problem£®The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance£®In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment£®
¡¡¡¡Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children£®For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease£®Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her illness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well£®The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious£®Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic(ÂýÐÔµÄ)diseases£®Asthma(Ïø´)is an example of a chronic disorder£®Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficulty in breathing£®The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs£®Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder£®After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily£®
¡¡¡¡Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating children£®Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it£®For example, Dr£®Basil R£®Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results£®Twenty-five of the children had Excellent results£®They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication£®Another forty-three were also helped£®The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong£®Most of the children also felt better about themselves£®Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems£®
¡¡¡¡Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine£®
