Psychology(心理学) has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals, modern therapy（疗法） ems to focus on the physical dia. Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the dia with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.The doctor knows that a dia affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient changes becau of the dia. He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional respon to the dia. Becau his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depresd, upt, and angry. Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurs. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that. Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the “whole” patient.The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can e the tumor（肿瘤） in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "es" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diad cells and es the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the dia.Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this u of psychology does help some patients becau their attitudes about themlves change. They become more confident becau they u the power within their own minds to help stop the dia.Another application of using the mind to help cure dia is the u of suggestion therapy. At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply. The patient thinks only about one thing. He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or rather in a trance（催眠状态）. Then the physician makes “a suggestion” to the patient about the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In this way, the patient us his mind to help his body respond to treatment.Doctors have learned that this u of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have ud suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some dia. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her illness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic（慢性的）dias. Asthma （哮喘） is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a dia that caus the patient to have difficulty in breathing. The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily.Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very uful in treating children. Children respond quickly to the treatment becau they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had Excellent results. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also felt better about themlves. Doctors have also ud suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical u of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine.小题1:What does the passage mainly discuss?A．How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children.B．How modern therapy focus on the dia.C．Respons from the medical world.D．How to u the mind against dia.小题2:How does psychological therapy work?A．The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him.B．The doctor us medical treatment to cure the patient's problems.C．The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work together to fight dia.D．The patient us his mind to cure himlf.小题3:What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M.
