“…Selinsky 188 described the therapy of several hypermasculine asthma patients whose symptoms improved when they wept over feelings of loneliness. Doust and Leigh 35 noted from study of 30 asthmatics that emotionrl tension could be relieved by motor expression such as weeping, laughing, acting out, confession, or an asthmatic attack. Scheflen 160 described a schizophrenic patient who screamed like an infant when she felt rejected; this typically led into an asthma attack which stopped with sobbing and shedding tears.…”

Experimental and clinical studies relating psychological variables and allergic illness are summarized and critically reviewed. Special emphasis is given to methodological issues. The review, embracing principally English-language reports since 1950, focuses on respiratory allergy-asthma, rhinitis, hay fever.A SYCHOLOGICAL variables, viewed as etiological factors or as concomitant processes in allergic disease, have long been of speculative interest. Since 1950, the body of research and clinical reports relating psychological variables and allergic illness has grown rapidly. This paper will summarize and critically review this body of literature with the aim of integrating findings from diverse sources and methods. Special emphasis will be placed on methodological aspects in order to provide a focus for evaluating the current status of the area and to suggest profitable areas for future work.Mainly, papers in English dealing with psychological factors in respiratory allergy, published since 1950, are reviewed. Previous work has been comprehensively reviewed by Dunbar and Leigh; 37 however, certain influential earlier papers are included in the present review as points of orientation. A From the Allergy Department of the Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and the Permanente Medical Group, San Francisco, Calif. few papers from other languages also are discussed and are conceptually linked to investigations in English-speaking countries. The great size of this body of research dictates these limitations and the focus on respiratory allergy.

PROBLEMThe present investigation attempts to assess the physiological influence of color on emotions and awareness. The quality of affect was estimated by a ranking preferance technique and the levels of awareness by their equivalence with blood-oxygen saturation values@# 9, lo* 11, 12, l 3 v 14), both variables being considered in terms of response to a sequence of separately presented hues. The effects of color on healthy subjects were compared and contrasted with those on a group of psychiatric patients. EXPERIMENTAL METHODSThe responses of 87 Ss. were investigated. Of this total, 49 were healthy controls (39 males and 10 females) with ages ranging from 18 to 45 years. The remaining 38 Ss. were a group of 21 male and 17 female psychiatric patients aged 16 to 62 years. They included 5 patients with neurosis, 4 with depression, 11 with schizophrenia, 6 with
