Abstract

In Dr. Matarazzo's excellent paper on Comprehensive Medicine, he quotes at some length from a paper by Guze, himself and Saslow, called "A Formulation of Principles of Comprehensive Medicine with Special Reference to Learning Theory" (see Bibliography, p. 9), which should be very much better known to our readers. But although he refers to it in his present article as an example of a cross-disciplinary interchange between an internist, psychologist, and psychiatrist, fostered in the Washington University Division of Psychosomatic Medicine and its Clinic, the Editor is afraid that there was insufficient inter-disciplinary conflict between the three authors. If the terminological crevasses had been wide enough, or had been widened to permit an anthropologist or sociologist to uncoil his string of communicative symbols, perhaps the authors (at least as exemplified by the quotations in the present article) would have been forced to translate or to use less strictly psychological language.
