- W1966801604 abstract "MENTAL HYGIENE, or broadly speaking the prevention of human maladjustments, cannot be considered as a separate discipline because all prevention is based upon an understanding of causes. Knowledge of causation is ever being broadened by expanding knowledge of how the total organism behaves in health and disease. Therapy in turn quickens the spirit of scientific inquiry into causes. Few if any mental ills are now thought to be actually and solely due to specific causative factors such as syphilis, alcohol, glandular dysfunction, or early psychic trauma. The discovery of the spirochaeta pallidum as the cause of dementia paralytica in 1905 was supposed to lead to rational specific treatment. During succeeding years there was a great wave of interest in the search for specific causes of man's mental and emotional ills. Researchers hoped to institute specific therapy. During this era of concentration on specific causation, therapy in general suffered, as did prevention. However, quacks and charlatans flourished. Out of all this came serious questionings: Was preoccupation with the sick parts of man enough? Excellent studies began to appear showing how psychoneurotic patients treated with diet, rest, and medicine improved, but so did those treated with psychotherapy alone (4). Was there something in the very nature of man himself and his relationship to other men that was therapeutic? Even the so-called specific therapy of syphilis of the brain, the results of a specific causative agent, has not proved as successful in some types of individuals as in others. Now most physicians are treating the persons who have diseases and not merely the diseases themselves. If a person who has brain syphilis, for instance, is basically maladjusted to begin with, syphilitic treatment has been shown to be less effective than in the case of the previously stable and well-adjusted person (7). Similarly, educators have come to recognize that the adjustment of the total child is important in the treatment of speech and reading defects as well as other special disabilities." @default.
