Stress--A Disease of Our Time

• 1970 ----- color ----- 36 min ----- 16mm
• Stress is a factor in diseases such as ulcers, migraine, asthma and mental disorders. Even rats develop ulcers under stress. In an overcrowded classroom, a psychologist observes predictable patterns of behavior emerging. The extroverts fight more frequently and the introverts tend to play alone. The finding is that most children seem to have an inherent mechanism which prevents them from overreacting to others. These and other experiments shown in this film are leading social scientists, psychologists and doctors to a better understanding of stress in contemporary life.
• Topics: (Medicine, Psychology)
