“…In this study, 24 children with moderate to severe asthma (aged [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] were serially recruited from the Pediatrie Psychophysiologic Treatment Unit (PPTU) at National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine. A methacholine challenge test (PC20) was performed on each subject within 72 hours of the protocol to index airways reactivity.…”

This article offers a reconceptualization of the influence of emotional arousal on asthma. We propose that the degree to which an asthmatic child is generally psychophysiologically re¬ active will influence the degree to which emotional arousal affects airways reactivity and pulmonary function. This psychophysiologic reactivity may be genetically (temperamentally) based, or acquired through emotional trauma. Controlled laboratory studies are cited that demonstrate an emotional link in asthma process. A focused and more detailed review is presented of new research support for psychophysiologic reactivity in asthmatic children as a continuum of risk for emotional stimulation of airways constriction mediated by cholin¬ ergic mechanisms. Treatment implications are drawn with case illustrations.

“…Various reviews of these treatment programs have concluded either that they are highly promising (Knapp, 1977;Fritz, 1983) or useless (Richter & Dahme, 1982). Given the heterogenity of asthma populations, both conclusions may be valid.…”

Somatiske og psykologiske aspekter ved asthma bronchiale hos barn Olav Vassend Vassend 0. Somatiske og psykologiske aspekter ved asthma bronchiale hos barn. Nord Psykiatr Tidsskr 1985;39:493-500. Oslo. ISSN 0029-1455.The article describes a correlational study of relations between allergic potential, clinical severity, asthma precipitant factors, and several psychosocial variables, i.e. the child's temperamental characteristics and psychopathology, psychopathology of the parents, and family interaction. The sample included 20 asthmatic children and their families. The study demonstrated no significant correlations between clinical severity and the psychosocial variables, but the sample included few severely asthmatic children. Allergic potential, when measured by immunoglobulin-E level, correlated positively with emotional and behavior problems in the child. Furthermore, there were positive correlations between emotional precipitant factors, allergy and clinical severity, and also between emotions, mechanical respiratory changes and exercise-induced asthma rated as precipitant factors. Possible explanations concerning the role of emotional activation in asthma are mentioned. 0 Childhood asthma, psychosocial variables, allergy, precipitant factors.
