The aims of this study were to assess whether Indonesian women with breast cancer havea higher external health locus of control (HLC) than healthy women, and to explore the association between HLC and symptoms of anxiety and depression. In this study, 120 consecutive women with breast cancer were recruited at the outpatient surgical oncology clinic at the Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung. One hundred and twenty two healthy women were recruited from the Bandung area as controls. A standard demographic form, Form C of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control, as well as the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and patients' medical records were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's correlation, MANOVA and multiple linear regressions. Women with breast cancer had higher scores on all external HLC subscales, i.e. chance, doctor, powerful others and God, and lower internal HLC compared to healthy women. High God LHC scores were associated with a high level of anxiety (${\beta}=0.21$, p<0.05), whereas none of the HLC subscales were associated with depression. Our results suggest that women with breast cancer tend to have high external HLC, while healthy women tend to have high internal HLC. A strong belief in an external source of control, i.e. God, might be negatively associated with patient emotional adjustment. Further research is needed to give an insight into the direction of this association.

In psychodynamic therapy, trauma related symptoms are considered as an attempt to overcome the traumatic experiences. Therefore, psychodynamic psychotherapy regards the symptom not as a patient's defect but as an adaptive reaction. In contrast to other therapies, psychodynamic theory places heavy emphasis on the understanding and resolution of the patient's symptoms. In addition, transference is a distinctive feature of this theory, which plays a significant role of reflecting the realistic evaluation on the therapist's characteristics, and in guaranteeing the therapeutic alliance. The psychodynamic therapist inducts meaning from the patient's unconscious mind. The therapist's task is to help the patient to better understand defense mechanisms guide their management of experiences and reactions, and facilitate a better understanding of their personal experiences.

Dreams are experiences of life that is recognized to have taken place in .the mind while asleep. The phenomenon of dreams is occured by external stimuli such as somatic factor and emotion-arousing pre-sleep stimuli. The contents of dreams reflect the dreamer's unique psychic situation, we can view them from category of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements(陰陽五行). Also dreams are characterized by an objectivity that provides whatever in necessary for psychic balance, regardless of the ego's wishes. Hence dreams are objective sources of psychotherapy. The doctor must not treat patient by the doctor's subject mind. The Orient has taken the idea that human beings have the divine center in the heart, so dreams in the psychotherapy of the oriental medicine are more valuable as representation of inner world. The images of dream are classified as the deficiency and excessiveness of Yin-Ki and Yang-Ki of the internal organs, an property and source of stimulus. Dream applies to diagnose the disease of internal organs and to decide to the method of medical treatment.

Donguibogam's views on human life provide us with insight into suicide prevention by perceiving life as priceless. In addition to the approaches of modern medicine, we can employ 'mentally and physically integrative treatment' and 'prevention-based treatment' from Korean medicine as a therapeutic point of view. We can also employ 'I-Jeong-Byeon-Gi Therapy' and 'Oh-Ji-Sang-Seung Therapy' as therapeutic methods. In this paper, we consider these approaches and clinical adaptations for suicide prevention from the perspectives of Korean medicine.

Objectives: Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM) is a Traditional Korean Medicine based on the natural human emotions of joy(喜), anger(怒), sorrow(哀), and pleasure(樂). Therefore, in this paper I would like to construct SCM as a Mind-Body Medicine by studying the relation between SCM and psychotherapy focusing on control of emotions. Methods : I have researched the psychological characteristics of the four human physical constitutions, as described by SCM, and psychotherapy with an emphasis on the natural human emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure as discussed in the works of Lee Je-ma(李濟馬, 1837-1900). Results and Conclusions : The joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure in SCM do not simply refer to human emotions. They have an inherent nature(性), emotion(情) and Qi(氣). They are tied to the psychological characteristics of the four human physical constitutions and the relationship between body and mind. The turning point in the transformation from Sasang philosophy to Sasang therapy lies in these emotions. Sasang Constitutional Medicine, which focuses on 'mind matter' and diagnosing illness, emphasizes medicine and food(藥餌), along with health maintenance(調養). In particular, health maintenance requires the following mental practices. First of all, through countinuous awarness(恒戒) and self-reflection(自反), one needs to practice moderation(中) and restraint(節) of the emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. Therefore, 'inward reflection while sitting(坐思)' is necessary. In SCM, this is very similar to meditation in that it enhances psychological self-control through mental training or practice.

통제적이고 강압적인 부모의 양육태도로 유발된 내면의 불안 및 갈등이 '항문의 이상 감각'이라는 신체화 증상으로 상징화되어 표출된, 전환장애로 의심되는 7세 여환아(女患兒)에게 한약(韓藥)치료와 더불어 지언고론요법(至言高論療法)을 적용하여 약 2개월간 치료하였다. 지언고론요법(至言高論療法)은 한의학 정신요법 중 하나로 현재 임상에서 행해지고 있는 지지적 정신치료 및 행동치료와 유사하다. 의료진은 이를 본 증례의 환아(患兒)에게 2개월간 적용하여 증상이 80%이상 소실되는 긍정적인 치료 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 아동의 심리 발달과정에서 부모의 양육태도 등과 같은 중요한 심리 환경적 요인들이 부적절하여 아동의 내면에 갈등이 생기면 심인성의 신체증상이 유발되기도 한다. 이는 전환장애의 심리기제와 매우 흡사하다 할 수 있다. 그러므로 아동의 심인성 신체 증상을 치료하는 장면에서, 우선 성장 환경의 문제점 혹은 환아(患兒)의 성격 기질적 특성을 정확히 파악하고 그에 따라 지언고론요법(至言高論療法)등과 같은 한의학 정신요법을 이용해 적절한 치료적 개입을 한다면 이른 시간 안에 효과적인 치료가 가능할 것이다. 본 증례는 그 좋은 예라 사료된다.

자문조정 정신의학은 정신 신체의학의 발전과 궤를 같이 하면서 발달되어 왔는데 특히 종합병원 정신과 성장과 더불어 한 영역을 구축해 왔다. 자문조정 정신의학의 발전은 정신의학이 의학의 주류에 끼게 된 계기가 되었다고 할 수 있는데, 저자는 이러한 발전의 단계를 역사적 흐름으로 살펴보고 정선 신체의학과 정신 역동의 밀접한 관계에 대해서도 자료를 정리 해 보았다. 또 이러한 이론적 배경이 어떻게 의학적 정신 치료에서 적용되는지도 살펴보고자 하였다.
