心理治疗能减少健康问题的发生吗？身心学的一般模型认为，抑制或抑制一个人的思想、感情和行为与长期的压力和疾病有关。积极面对令人沮丧的经历——通过写作或谈话——被认为可以减少抑制的负面影响。50名健康的大学生被要求连续4天写下创伤经历或肤浅的话题。细胞免疫系统功能和健康中心访问的两项测量表明，面对创伤经历对身体有益。讨论了心理治疗作为健康问题预防性治疗的意义。
Can psychotherapy reduce the incidence of health problems? A general model of psychosomatics assumes that inhibiting or holding back one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is associated with long-term stress and disease. Actively confronting upsetting experiences—through writing or talking—is hypothesized to reduce the negative effects of inhibition. Fifty healthy undergraduates were assigned to write about either traumatic experiences or superficial topics for 4 consecutive days. Two measures of cellular immune-system function and health center visits suggested that confronting traumatic experiences was physically beneficial. The implications for psychotherapy as a preventive treatment for health problems are discussed.
