Daydreams Can Be Therapeutic
Daydreams can be not only
extremely pleasant, but very
therapeutic, according to Dr.
T. A. Lincoln, noted British
psychiatrist.
A staunch defender of
fantasizing, Dr. Lincoln,
writing in the November issue
of Science Digest, disagrees
with the common view that
daydreamers tend to be “lazy '
and ineffective people.”
Fantasies have many
practical uses, he says, and
what makes them so useful
and versatile is that they
require no sensory input from
the environment.
Jerome L. Singer, a Yale
University Psychology
Professor and one of the
strong advocates of
daydreaming is quoted in the
article as saying that a fantasy
is a “stimulus independent
mentation;” |
In other words explains-Dr.
1 Lincoln, who is the corporate
medicaF director of the
Union Carbide Company, it is
a thought that is consciously
'generated without any
external stimulus. " i
For example, he says,
fantasies can occur while
people are busy, giving them
some necessary “time alone”
and “escape” even while
doing other things. “While
pushing ■ cereal into your
infant’s mouth, you might
fantasize that your son grows
up to be a strong, handsome
young man with great

World Now Seems
Free Bf Smallpox
When Dr. Donald A.
Henderson agreed to head a
United Nations drive to wipe
out smallpox, a colleague
warned him bluntly, “You
don’t stand a chance.”
Three years later, when a
massive campaign had rid
several countries of the dread
disease, a professor from
England cautioned hipi:
“Bear in mind that Asia is the
ancient home of smallpox.
Eradication in South America
or Africa is one thing; Asia is
quite impossible.”
Yet in just a decade the
disease that had scourged
humanity for thousands of
years .^^parently hasj, been
vanquished. (The last^pfown
smallpox on earth is fft^zen iH
a few glass vials held in a
dozen laboratories around the
world.
The closely guarded virus is
being stored so that it can be
used to produce vaccine if the
disease should reappear.
In the December National
Geographic, Dr. Henderson,
dean of the School of
Hygiene and Public Health at
the Johns Hopkins
University, recalls the day last
April that he received word
his efforts had been
successful.
“The telegram from
Nairobi, Kenya,” he writes,
“lay on my desk. ‘Search
complete. No cases
discovered. Ali Maow Maalin
is world’s last known
smallpox case.”
