“…Internal self-criticism is associated with avoiding management of conflict but also associated with adaptive management of conflict (9). High self-criticism can be explained based on the ultimate standardization theory (33). Among these, psychological system with other systems such as immunological and neurological systems, are responsible for individualism, self-creation and self-determination or moving towards voluntary actions (33).…”

Background: Self-criticism is one of the personal characteristics that led to the inability to communicate properly with others, and as a result of this feeling, people blame themselves constantly. Objectives: This study was aimed to comprise the self-criticism in patients with obsessive-compulsive as well as major depression disorders and normal individuals. Methods: Study methodology was a casual-comparative of post ex facto type. The study population included all patients with major depression and obsessive-compulsive referred to psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric clinics, private and public centers of counseling, psychological services, and normal people. The present study consisted of 20 people with major depression, 20 people with obsessive-compulsive, and 40 normal people who were selected by purposive sampling method. To analyze the data, ANOVA was used. Results: Its results showed that the difference between the study groups in self-criticism was statistically significant. Scheffe post hoc test results showed that there is a significant difference between depressed and healthy groups, obsessive-compulsive and healthy groups, as well as depressed and obsessive-compulsive groups. Furthermore, the average self-compulsive in the depressed group is higher compared to other groups. Conclusions: Self-criticism is one of the traits vulnerable to depression; this trait not only causes depression, but is also affected by the symptoms of depression.

“…It is difficult to do so if we think of the immune system in the traditional sense of that which has the role of defending us against the outside world. However, it becomes more feasible if we view the immune system in a broader aspect as a system that acts to conserve an appropriate relationship between our bodies and our environments-a system that maintains our physical "self-nonself" adaptation to be coherent with the living processes of our psychosocial self (Booth & Ashbridge, 1992. Thus, when there are traumatic aspects of our existence that we cannot accept or assimilate as legitimate facets of ourselves, they are not coherent with our self constructs, we are not at peace with them, and so we have to battle psychologically to keep them at bay.…”

To discuss the biological pathways through which emotional expression affects health, we must appreciate the manner in which humans operate as self-generating systems in biological and psychological contexts.We begin this chapter with a brief outline of the salient features of human biology and how it relates to our psychosocial existence. This leads to a discussion of the relationship between emotions and the operation of our bodies, particularly the immune system, and some of the consequences of expressing and suppressing emotions and the factors that modulate these consequences. Finally, we consider the effects of emotional disclosure on health and discuss a model of how we might make sense of these effects 157
