Abstract
The previous chapter touched on the last step in a chain leading from environmental events to disease and considered that psychosocial stimulation induced disease in animals. This chapter is concerned with the evidence that subtle disturbances of human social relationships can be reliably associated with the onset of disease, such as coronary arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, and even cancer.
