Fatigue states, their effect on individuals and industry.

Abstract

N O ON E can separate the individual from his work. We are not dealing with robots but with people whose body and mind are part and parcel of their daily contribution to industry. Noone wants to admit that he or she is not capable of performing his daily tasks. His very existence is interdependent on his ability to perform his daily work. The compensation he receives helps to produce the security that all of us seek as our goal. The attainment of this goal is vitally necessary for a stable emotional system. Many factors enter into instability. All of us know that early childhood patterns may transcend into adult life to plague us later on. We portray these childhood patterns in many ways-not as a child but as organ language which represents our early difficulties which at that time were expressed by those patterns. The resulting pathological physiology accounts for these symptom complexes. This altered function has its origin and derives its impulses from the repressed or suppressed emotional system of the patient. If a patient has not the security which he should enjoy, he will develop patterns in his body the same as a child who cries out for love, protection and food. Furthermore, no other vital function plays such an important part in the emotional household of the individual from early life as does
