Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient: Reflections on Healing and Regeneration Норман Казинс
ISBN: 9780393041903 Год издания: 2001 Издательство: W. W. Norton & Company Язык: Английский The premise of Norman Cousins's enormously influential work is that the human mind is capable of promoting the body's capacity for combating illness and healing itself even when faced with a seemingly hopeless medical predicament. The author recounts his personal experiences while working in close collaboration with his doctor to overcome a crippling and supposedly irreversible disease, and illustrates the life-saving and ultimately life-prolonging benefits to be gained by taking responsibility for one's own well-being. Cousins's story is inspirational reading for anyone contending with a serious illness -
Pathology of Power Норман Казинс
ISBN: 9780393305418 Год издания: 1998 Издательство: W. W. Norton & Company Язык: Английский In this book, a seasoned commentator on world affairs discusses the way power in government becomes enlarged, exploited, and institutionalized―not just as the result of external dangers, real or contrived, but as the result of the way the arms race spills over into and dominates foreign policy. The clandestine operation that led to the Iran-Contra affair, Norman Cousins observes, is a recent example of dangerous trend with its own momentum. Mr. Cousins returns here to the central theme that dominated the editorial pages of the Saturday Review during the thirty years of his editorship: the challenge to human freedom and safety represented by vast destructive power slipping away from the means of control. -

Anatomy of an Illness Норман Казинс
ISBN: 0-393-32684-5 Год издания: 1979 Издательство: W. W. Norton & Company Язык: Английский An excellent essay for teaching, this famous autobiographical case history is often cited as the story of how a patient laughed himself out of an illness. That description is only partially correct. A Cold-War traveler, Cousins attributes his illness to the abuse he received at the hands of his incompetent Russian hosts; they made him hours late for an important engagement and then their environmental incompetence allowed him to inhale vast quantities of truck and airplane exhaust.
Cousins seems to flaunt medical advice when he signs himself out of hospital, but he is inconsistent in what he retains of modern science and what he rejects. For example, he views the sedimentation rate (ESR) as an absolute numerical translation of his condition--and obsessively clocks its variation with the interventions he chooses for himself. He displays a similar sort of eclecticism when it comes to hypotheses about metabolism and its history.
Keeping up his spirits with humour was indeed an important part of the treatment, but Cousins did not rely on laughter alone. He also relied on physiological rationalization for the efficacy of high-dose Vitamin C and on the restoration of control over his own condition. Treatment must be in line with the perceived cause.
Students should be aware of the tolerance of the treating physician and the privilege of this patient whose choices--both financial and personal--are available to only a few. After Cousins' death a memorial lecture on the connections between immunity psychology was established in his memory. -
