"The Origin and Nature of the Emotions; Miscellaneous Papers" by George Washington Crile is a collection of scientific papers from the early 1900s that closely examines the link between emotions and bodily reactions, especially concerning surgery and physical trauma. It is a study into the biology that drives emotions like fear and anger, showing how these emotions appear in the body when faced with stress or injuries. The writing starts by explaining Crile's reasons for gathering these ideas and scientific results, presenting ideas like the Kinetic Theory of Shock, which highlights how emotional states can lead to changes in the brain and body. The work reports on experiments with animals, observing their physical responses to fear and trauma during surgical procedures, suggesting that knowing these links is vital for improving surgical practices and people's health with new ways to deal with emotional responses in medicine.
