Tuesday, September 28, 2004 at 12:47 AM Tonight on the show a girl called up and said she had back problems, and surgury, at age 14. Adam and Drew both jumped in with "Molested ?" Later explaining when they hear of young people having Back problems they usually equate it to past molestation. Have any of you ever heard them spout this theory in the past? I am wondering if Dr. Drew presribes to the theory of Dr. Sarno that many Back / Shoulder / RSI are the result of repressed rage and a certain personality profile. Have any of you ever heard Dr. Drew Mention Sarno?

Tuesday, September 28, 2004 at 6:13 AM I think they were actually going more for physical abuse, tied in with some kind of molestation because of some other factor. Occasionally they can make connections in their heads but not describe it very well on the air. Hey, they were just a little off their game last night. It's okay. —Dark Laith |

Tuesday, September 28, 2004 at 4:30 PM I don't know if they would necessarily make the back pain/repressed rage connection, but I do know that they (Adam esecially) are quick to point out things that are more psychosomatic in nature -- For instance, "unexplained pelvic pain" always comes up in cases of molestation -- the person clearly has "nothing" physically wrong with them, yet they experience a very real sensation of pain in the pelvic region. A more general example of this would be the people who drive Adam nuts -- the ones who always claim to have generic allergies to things or people who have chronic fatigue syndrome though they don't have any actual physical problems -- What Adam and Drew spot in people is an unconscious desire to be sick, which for whatever reason, does seem to be relatively prevalent in cases who have a history of abuse. —steve |

Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 9:32 AM When a nervous patient feels fatigued, then he doesn't say, 'I am tired.' Well, that would be a very trivial statement, and the patient doesn't make trivial statements. The patient complains, and a complaint is very difficult to make about a trivial thing. If the patient complains, then he is prompted to exaggerate. If he doesn't exaggerate, then his complaint is trivial. So, I have yet to see the patients that don't-when they think of their fatigue-that don't express it in terms of exhaustion. Fatigue isn't enough. It is not dramatic enough. It's not impressive enough. And the patient somehow gets himself to believe that he suffers from exhaustion. But I correct him and tell him it's fatigue. He doesn't like that as a rule. —ZT-In-Bosco |
