Fototerapie
Autor se zamýšlí nad historií objevu vztahu vnějších vlivů, cykličnosti v přírodě, a vnitřních biologických hodin člověka. Uvádí vlastní soubor pacientů se sezonní afektivní poruchou, splňujících kritéria tzv. velké deprese, a zkušenosti s léčbou fototerapií. Ekonomicky se zdá být fototerapie vhodnou doplňkovou metodou k léčbě medikamentózní.
