| Summary: | "This, my early, experimentation with CO2 I discontinued because my conviction was--as it still is--that the catatonic and other schizophrenic and oneirophrenic conditions are maintained by a biochemical disturbance which is too strong and self-sustaining to be reverted by CO2inhalation. By 1943, having further experimented and further reflected, I had come to believe that CO2could be profitably used to correct psychoneurotic conditions. My idea again was that psychoneurotic conditions are physical derangements of the function of the nerve cells in the brain, and that, therefore, they must be receptive to and responsive to physical treatments--i.e., treatments void of words of explanation, void of symbolical references. Both the theoretical and the practical implications of this thesis are momentous"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved). |
