The imagination and psychological healing.

As one of the internal senses or inward wits, the imagination was long thought to play a crucial role in the age-old struggle between the rational and the irrational, and it was conceived of as a faculty that might be damaged in some forms of psychopathology. During the Renaissance it emerged as a force or factor with a considerable potential for causing harm in the form of disease and for doing good in the form of curing disease. Its place in psychological healing has been significant for much of the time since then, including a lively attention to it in the work of Carl Jung and in the guided imagery techniques of recent decades.

Log-linear analysis of dental caries occurrence in four skeletal series.

Four skeletal series (Corinth, Greece; Gran Quivira, New Mexico; Semna South, Sudanese Nubia, and a large group from scattered sites in England) were coded for sex, jaw, tooth group, dental attrition, dental caries, site and time period. Through thec concepts of a basal level of caries and a cariosity gradient, a single model was found which best described the occurrence of this disease in these samples. All factors were found to contribute significantly to the model. Within the possible subsamples the general characteristics are that the profiles of males, of the mandibulae and of those with light attrition are more likely to have lower overall dental caries levels and to be relatively more carious in the back of the mouth than the front when compared to the pooled sample of all teeth and caries. The opposite is also found to be generally true; the teeth of females, maxillae and heavy attrition are associated with more caries, especially toward the front of the mouth. These results imply that samples appearing otherwise homogeneous display much variation. They also reveal distinct regularities in the reactions of diverse human groups to dental caries.
