Positive psychology doesn’t have a great track record as a way to fight cancer. Indeed, when James Coyne and colleagues followed 1,093 people with advanced head-and-neck cancer over nine years, they found even the most optimistic subjects lived no longer than the most pessimistic ones.
积极心理学在对付癌症方面的记录并不太好。的确,詹姆斯·科因和他的同事曾经对1093名晚期头颈癌患者进行长达九年的随访,结果发现,即使是最乐观的受试者也并不比最悲观者活得长。
Some cancer patients respond to interventions better than others, Tripathy notes. “But even with high-dose chemotherapy, you rarely see ‘complete response,’ which is total disappearance” of advanced breast cancer. “So if we saw anything like that, boy, that would hit the medical journals in a hurry.”
崔帕蒂指出,有些癌症患者对干预的反应好于其他人。“不过,即使是使用大剂量化疗,你也很少能看到‘完全反应’,即(晚期乳腺癌)完全消失……所以,如果我们能看到那样的结果,那很快会在医学期刊上引起轰动。”
One day in Puerto Vallarta in February, Langer sat on the patio of her hillside home. An iguana the length of a celery rib scooted across a high railing, and the dogs went bananas. “That’s Ada,” Langer said. “Or is it Ida? There are two — it’s hard to tell them apart.” When the iguanas first appeared and began devouring the hibiscus, Langer was startled. Now she and Nancy feed them petals for lunch. “That’s the way it is,” she said. “You can be scared. You give it a name, and then it’s a pet.”
