Beyond Organic Aetiology: Exploring A Psychocognitive Approach To Gastric Ulceration
Journal Title: International Journal of Behavioral Research & Psychology (IJBRP) - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Pavlov’s classical conditioning experiments brought to the fore how stimuli of purely psychogenic nature mediate and affect cognitive state, hence, shaping physiologic functions. Against this background, I seek to understand how the triad of the brain, the mind and our human experiences (in the context of disease) interact. I attempt a systematic explication of how this interaction may occur in the onset of gastric ulceration. On that note, I argue that a valid psychocognitive frame of reference offers creative insights into how non-pharmacological means may be employed in the clinical palliation of forms of non-organic gastric ulcers.
