Psychophysiologic aspects of respiratory control.

D L Dudley, A R Pitts-Poarch

    Clinics in Chest Medicine
    |January 1, 1980

    Summary

    Understanding the psychobiologic unit is crucial for comprehending disease. Integrating psychological and physiological factors reveals a holistic approach to health and illness, especially in respiratory conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychoneuroimmunology
    • Integrative Medicine
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Historically, disease causation was poorly understood, relying on myths and fragmented physiological perspectives.
    • Psychological variables like behavior and emotion were traditionally disconnected from physiological functioning.
    • This dissociation led to disease categorization based on symptoms rather than a unified psychobiologic understanding.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of the psychobiologic unit in health and disease.
    • To emphasize the need for integrating psychological and physiological components in understanding illness.
    • To explore the role of psychobiologic adaptive influences in respiratory diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of traditional medical and surgical disease models.
    • Analysis of the disconnect between psychological and physiological assessments.
    • Introduction of new instruments like the Coping Scale and Schedule of Recent Experience to quantify adaptive factors.

    Main Results:

    • Recognized the limitations of fragmented organ system examination.
    • Identified the psychobiologic nature of individuals, where environment and internal factors interplay.
    • Demonstrated that secondary breathing disorders have non-physiologic origins.

    Conclusions:

    • Persons function as integrated psychobiologic units, influenced by their environment.
    • A holistic approach integrating psychological and physiological factors is essential for understanding health and disease.
    • New measurement tools facilitate the quantification and stabilization of adaptive factors, improving the understanding of respiratory conditions.
