Abstract
10 subjects in danger of imminent loss and 10 controls were studied at the onset and end of a 3-month period to determine if there were significant associations between affects such as hope and hopelessness and reactions of the immune system. Findings included correlations between hope, antidepressant therapy and T cell counts.Keywords
