Reserpine in the Treatment of Neuropsychiatric, Neurological, and Related Clinical Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
in this regard, "You have this problem: What does the situation mean to the patient, not what does the situation mean to you? On this rock founders many a carefully planned study related to fear, anger, security, and the other cliche's of colonic language. A longish section on the effect of cathartics summarizes much information of which the reviewer was unaware, but leaves open the question of how often laxatives really are necessary. It is difficult to take seriously an ingenious statistical study of laxatives that evaluates the average number of bowel movements in terms of 7.865 movements per 10 days. The therapeutic section is highlighted by Dr. White's and Dr. Machella's discussions of ulcerative colitis and by Dr. Inglefinger's advice on constipation. The general reader will enjoy browsing through this book.
