Type A
Meyer "Mike" Friedman's extraordinary curiosity and dogged determination led him to make several major discoveries related to the heart described in this book. His final contribution, perhaps his most telling, was to show how chronic human distress--what he called the Type A Behavior Pattern--could be changed by reducing hostility and increasing humility. Friedman helped to humanize how we look at heart disease, especially the social and emotional roles played in their onset and in their treatment. Carl E. Thoresen, Ph. D., Professor Emeritus of Education, Psychological and Psychiatry/Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University.
Type a Behavior
Friedman (Meyer Friedman Institute, U. of California) first related the type A behavior (TAB) personality to widespread coronary problems in 1959 and in 1979 began the recurrent Coronary Prevention Project (RCPP). This volume describes the diagnosis and treatment he has used to successfully modify TAB in post infarction patients, presenting for the first time a therapeutic procedure for mitigating the effects of TAB, assessing its severity, and changing life threatening behavior patterns. Includes photographs, illustrations, and appendices of behavior modification "work" sheets. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
