Evaluational Disorders and Caries—Semantogenic Symptoms * * For the orientation and methodology of the accompanying analysis and formulations of the problems of dental caries as related to evaluational disorders of the human nervous system, the author acknowledges indebtedness to Count Alfred Korzybski, with whom he has studied in various seminars and private conferences for several years. He continues: The general theory of evaluation and the extensional method, known as general semantics, are systematically presented in ‘Science and Sanity, an Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics,’ by Alfred Korzybski, Science Press Printing Company, Lancaster, Pa., 1933. I am also indebted to Prof. Wendell Johnson, of the psychological clinic, State University of Iowa, for the term ‘semantogenic.’ Much general illustrative and non-dental material used in this paper is taken from chapters 6 and 7 of Professor Johnson’s Monograph: ‘Language and Speech Hygiene—An Application of General Semantics,’ published by the Institute of General Semantics, 1939. Readers are referred to this monograph for an abbreviated presentation of general semantics as an introduction to the subject for clinicians.
