- W226729502 abstract "W HEN I was a somewhat callow medical student, I remember watching with envy the confidence and social expertise of a friend. When faced with a large social gathering he looked critically round the various chattering nuclei, decided that none of the groups interested him and then quietly started his own highly successful, competing, conversational group. This he achieved by talking confidently and interestingly on a subject of universal appealunderclothes. We in our College have gradually gained our confidence and medical recognition by first defining and then preaching that general practice is an academic discipline in its own right. But if the academic status of general practice is to rise, it is necessary (as McWhinney has pointed out) to develop an active area of research in a field unique to general practice; to be fully effective this unique field, like underclothes, must have both widespread interest and application. It is my thesis that the study of human behaviour provides the general practitioner with just such a unique and interesting field of research. It is an obvious, if unfortunate fact, that our ability to understand and manipulate things, whether they be mountains or molecules, has far outstripped our ability to understand and manage ourselves. On browsing through a historical essay-left lying around in my sitting room by one of my daughter's boy friends-I came across the instructions given nearly 400 years ago by one of Queen Elizabeth's Ministers on the handling of catholic priests and the need to avoid backlash through making catholic priests martyrs; the instructions might well have been issued today-in 400 years man-management has altered little. Ethology-the science of behaviour-lies midway between physiology and psychology. Its principles are those of other sciences-observation, classification and prediction. Accurate classification is difficult to achieve in psychology because it is concerned with abstract mental processes. Terms such as anxiety, stress, affective, schizoid-often mean different things to different people with resultant continuing confusion. Ethology, because it always involves the concrete actions of behaviour, gives us a much firmer basis for clearly defined observation, classification and prediction, with correspondingly better understanding of underlying mental processes. Ethology however has one major pitfall -it tempts us to extrapolate that a happening in one species applies to another-what Koestler calls rattomorphism. Behaviour studies in one species may throw great light on the mental processes of another, but extrapolation must always be treated with" @default.
