정신의학에 있어서 운동장애는 환자의 삶의 질에 큰 영향을 끼치는, 또 하나의 중요한 정신의학적 차원임에도 불구하고, 그동안 관심을 받지 못하고 간과되어 왔었다. 정신의학에서 운동장애는 일차성 신경학적 장애, 신경학적 장애의 정신의학적 동반이환, 일차성 정신장애의 양상, 약물-유도성 운동장애, 심인성 운동장애 등의 원인에 의해서 나타날 수 있다. 정신과 환자에서 흔히 보이는 운동증상의 신속하고 적절한 치료를 위해서는, 정신과의사들의 운동장애에 관한 정확한 진단과 감별진단의 능력이 선행되어야 한다.

The author reviewed cognitive-behavioral approach to A type behavior pattern and hypertension which are known to be risk factors for coronary heart diseases. Those cognitive distortions frequently found in persons with A type behavior include all-nothing thinking, selective attention, personalization, and attribution of causality. Cognitive-behavioral techniques were also described, which can be applied to management of each characteristic of A type behavior pattern such as time urgency, perfectionism, achievement striving, low self-esteem, excessive work involvement, hostility, and depression. Cognitive-behavioral intervention for hypertension might help the patients to recognize and monitor anger-engendering conflicts, identify characteristic styles of responding, and experiment with alternative ways of managing conflict and anger. Since different features predominate in different individuals, it is necessary to develop treatment plan on the basis of individual characteristics and problems.

There appears to be an increased incidence of anxiety symptoms in association with certain medical illness. It is usually assumed that certain medical disorders are directly associated with anxiety symptoms in that the pathophysilolgy of the medical illness somehow causes the anxiety symptoms. However, the pathophysilolgies of many such medical illnesses as well as anxiety are not known and no discrete group of medical illnesses is clearly more likely to produce anxiety symptoms than any other Moreover, anxiety symptoms may be the representation of other psychiatric symptoms, like depression and delirium. Though it is important to differentiate primary and other causes(secondary) of anxiety clinically, the clear differentiation is somewhat arbitrary, as the confusion of mind-body dichotomy. for the purpose of accurate treatment of anxiety symptoms relating medical illness, this review article focuses on those clinical features and mechanisms of anxiety that are potentially useful in differential diagnosis.

The author reported a case of short-term dynamic psychotherapy in which relatively good therapeutic results were obtained. And I reviewed several therapeutic factors thought to be important in shot-term dynamic psychotherapy from various literatures. In this case, the frequency of session was limited due to her current reality situations. She had suffered from some adjustmental problems and marital conflict before the onset of the illness. The author could grasp the cental theme of her problems early in treatment period and discussed over it including it's influence on current situation and early childhood with th patient. We also discussed about the relationship between the past and current reality so that she could realize her real problem. At the same time, therapeutic effect was enhanced by family therapy and temporary use of medication.

대뇌 손상이 있는 환자에 대한 임상적 접근은 임상의에게 생각보다 쉽지 않다. 방대한 신경인지기능검사는 숙련된 기술을 요할 뿐 아니라 여러가지 도구들을 필요로 한다. 임상의가 대뇌의 부위에 따른 기능에 대하여 안다면 몇몇 간단한 평가로 대뇌 손상 부위를 추론해 낼 수 있다. 본고에서는 대뇌의 기능을 평가할 수 있는 여러가지 술기를 소개하고자 한다.

Objectives : Far-infrared (FIR) lights have been investigated for sleep quality intervention. We sought to measure the advantageous effects of FIR in sleep using polysomnographic data as the objective outcomes. Methods : The ten healthy volunteers were enrolled in a single-center, prospective, patient-blind, single-arm trial. Individuals slept on a sham mattress and a FIR emitting mattress with polysomnography for one night each. Results : Sleep efficiency showed an increasing trend but was not statistically significant. PSQI-K significantly decreased (p=0.013). The latency to REM of the baseline was shorter than that of the intervention (p=0.008). Though there was no statistical significance, Stage N1 and N2 were shortened, and Stage N3 was prolonged after the intervention compared to the baseline. Conclusions : The FIR-emitting mattresses improved sleep quality on self-reported insomnia. We suggested the candidate for the markers altered by the FIR therapy, such as the normalization of REM latency and increased N3 sleep.

마음과 몸의 관계는 오랜 논의에도 불구하고 설득력 있는 답을 구하지 못하고 있다. 한편, 서구 의학이 유물론적 패러다임을 받아들이면서, 기질적 이상이 없는 증상들은 "의학적으로 설명되지 않는 증상"이라 하여 변방에 머물게 된다. 이러한 증상을 이해하고자 전문가들은 마음과 몸의 관계를 바탕으로 소위 정신신체의학이라는 해석의 틀을 내놓았다. 이 해석의 틀은 의사소통 방식뿐 아니라, 환자들의 건강추구 행위 및 증상을 경험하는 양식도 변화시켰다. 시대의 필요나 새로운 과학발견에 의해 해석의 틀은 변화되어 왔으며, 어떤 때는 마음이 어떤 때는 몸이 강조되었다. 특히 치료법이 부재할 때에는 마음이 강조되면서 환자의 인격이 비난 받거나, 환자의 책임이 더 강조되었다. 반면 약물치료가 등장한 후에는 마음을 강조할 필요성이 줄어들면서 환자의 책임 역시 면제되었다. 본 논고에서는 마음과 몸의 관계를 중심으로 해석의 틀이 어떻게 시대에 따라 변화했는지를, 두통과 편두통의 사례를 통해 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 통해 해석의 틀이 어떻게 증상을 경험하는 양상을 변화시켰으며, 그때마다 책임 소재가 어떻게 달라졌는지 고찰할 것이다. 이러한 통시적 고찰은, 전문가로 하여금 그들이 만들어내는 해석의 틀이 얼마나 큰 영향력을 가지는 지, 그것이 얼마나 시대 상황과 밀접한 관계를 맺는지를 고찰할 기회를 마련할 것이다.

Alternative medicine is defined as the practices used for the prevention and the treatment of diseases that are not taught widely in medical schools, nor generally available inside hospitals. Alternative medicine or therapy is of growing interest to the general public. We conducted a survey to determine the prevalence and patterns of using alternative medicine such as herbal medicine acupuncture, folk medicine, health food and diet, yoga, qi therapy, shiatsu, chiropractics, homeopathy etc.. Based on 794 completed questionnaires, 484 respondents(61%) reported using at least one form of alternative medicine for their medical problems. The major medical conditions for which they used alternative medicine were back pain(85.6%), arthritis(85.4%), hypertension(85.2%), cerebrovascular disorders(86.4%), and insomnia(84.6%). The types of alternative medicine frequently used were herbal medicine, acupuncture, folk medicine, and health food. The reasons why the vast majority of people sought after alternative medicine was that: less side-effect, it is not harmful, it is more effective, there is a shorter waiting time, and a better explanation fur the conditions and a kinder therapist. We found that the frequency of using alternative medicine in the health care system was high. Physicians need to be more aware that many patients may be using alternative medicine. Further survey of the nation-wide prevalence of alternative medicine, and scientific study into the efficacy of this medicine should be followed. In the meantime, we suggest paying attention to possible harmful effects caused by some sorts of alternative medicine.
