Emotions and Bodily Changes: A Survey of Literature on
Psychosomatic Interrelationships in 1936, and Psychoso-
matic Diagnosis in 1943. She thought that the
research findings would lead to appropriate pre-
vention techniques and treatment. In 1939, Dun-
bar founded and served as the first editor of the
Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine, a post she held for
eight years. (The journal is now published by the
American Psychosomatic Society.) Dunbar’s contri-
butions to the study of psychosomatic medicine
spurred Rockefeller Foundation grants to general
hospitals in 1934 and 1935 with the mission of
encouraging the collaboration of psychiatrists and
other physicians. The Mount Sinai Hospital in New
York and Rochester Medical School pioneered in
consultation-liaison services. In the mid-1970s, the
National Institute of Mental Health provided grants
to 130 consultation-liaison programs.Dyer, Wayne W. An American doctor of counsel-
