Hi All,

I've taken an interest in the idea of psychobehavioral ailments as 
metaphoric "diseases", and am interested in pursuing the matter in depth.

Does anyone know the origins of AA's allergy theory? I doubt that the 
practitioner who speaks for them, Silkworth, created the idea himself 
(though I could be wrong).

Then there's the public health model, which draws parallels to infection 
control. Does anyone know where this began?

Thanks,



Peter
