“…While it is possible that psychological theories about the causes of asthma have stimulated psychotherapy research, it may be that the relative ease with which respiratory functioning is brought under conscious control has made the problem particularly attractive to therapists. Unlike headache, asthma has been treated by a broad range of psychological interventions, among them dynamic group therapy (Groen, 1953;Groen & Pelser, 1960;Lange-Nielsen & Retterstal, 1959;Mascia & Reiter, 1971;Reckless, 1971;Sclare & Crockett, 1957), hypnosis (British Tuberculosis Association, 1968Edwards, 1960;Maher-Loughnan, 1970;Maher-Loughnan, MacDonald, Mason, & Fry, 1962;Smith & Burns, 1960;White, 1961), systematic desensitization (Moore, 1965;Yorkston, McHugh, Brady, Serber, & Sergeant, 1974), family therapy (Liebman, Minuchin, & Baker, 1974), and individual psychotherapy (Kleeman, 1967;Miller & Baruch, 1948). In her 1968 review, Sperling concluded that psychotherapy was no more successful than standard medical treatments in the control of asthma.…”

Two questions are addressed: (a) Does research support the hypothesis that psychotherapy exerts a favorable influence on physical health? (b) Can psychotherapy be employed to change physical health on a cost-effective basis? Research with overutilizers of medical services, surgical patients, and other groups is discussed in terms of methodological adequacy, and Problems faced by researchers in these areas are explored. The effectiveness and economic efficiency of psychotherapeutic preparation for surgery are strongly supported. Studies with overutilizers are promising, but randomized experiments are needed. Implications for inclusion of coverage of psychotherapy under national health insurance are discussed.

A prospective experimental design evaluated the ability of a series of educational and motivational interventions to enhance self-treatment by adult asthmatics and to reduce use of emergency department services for asthma attacks. After treatment for an asthma attack, subjects were randomly assigned to the following sequential interventions: (1) reinforcement by interpersonal similarity at the time of the emergency visit, (2) recepit of positive written appeals, and (3) follow-up telephone reinforcement. The asthmatic nurse educator was generally more effective in achieving short-term reduction of emergency department visits. Although the usefulness of the positive written appeal increased when employed by the asthmatic nurse, there were no substantive independent effects of the written message on emergency department use.
