ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the physiology of a psycho-somatic disorder as coronary thrombosis. A young person can even suffer tremendous mental and bodily distress caused by a failure to reach climax without the added insult of a physical accident with irreversible change such as thrombosis of an arteriole. The common state of affairs in men and women who like to link their instinctual experiences with the enrichment of relationships is that many excitements must remain unrequited, and must find a way of dying down. Excitement is the pre-condition for instinctual experience. When local excitement builds up to become part of a whole body excitement, and of a whole person excitement, and if it is, whether the other object is a thing or another total human being. At one extreme, there is no hindrance from outside, no external reason why excitement should not build up into a climax, followed by relaxation.
