| Summary: | "Presents a series of miscellaneous papers on the physiology of emotion. In the first of these addresses, the Ether Day Address, delivered at the Massachusetts General Hospital in October, 1910, I first enunciated the Kinetic Theory of Shock, the key to which was found in laboratory researches and in a study of Darwin's "Expression of the Emotions in Man and in Animals," whereby the phylogenetic origin of the emotions was made manifest and the pathologic identity of surgical and emotional shock was established. Since 1910 my associates and I have continued our researches through--(a) Histologic studies of all the organs and tissues of the body; (b) Estimation of the H-ion concentration of the blood in the emotions of anger and fear and after the application of many other forms of stimuli; (c) Functional tests of the adrenals, and (d) Clinical observations. Striking changes produced by fear and anger and by physical trauma in the brain were also investigated in other organs. Many of the arguments and illustrations by which the primary premises were established are repeated--a few in all--many in more than one of these addresses. It will be observed, however, that the application of these premises varies, and that their significance broadens progressively"--Pref. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved). |
