Abstract
|
|
|
The author reviewed articles about the concept of "Giving-up-Given-up" complex and its underlying mechanism.
A more recent advance in psychosomatic theory is the concept of a life setting conducive to physical illness. This theory expands the scope of "psychosomatic" to include all organic illness and attempts to unify medicine with psychiatry. This concept has been called the "Giving-up-Given-up Complex. It essentially answers the question, "Why do people become ill or die at the time that they do?" Pers￢on´s frame of mind has something to do with his or her propensity for illness or death. Discouragement, despair, humiliation, hopelessness, helplessness are conducive to illness and death.
"Giving-up-Given-up" complex acts as a frequent factor contributing to the emergence of disease, but is neither necessary nor sufficient for the development of disease.
"Flight-fight" and "Conservation-withdrawal" are identified as two primary biological defense systems. Their relationship to the "Giving-up-Given-up" com￢plex is discussed.
