Definitions

1. a case which manifests no emotion or cannot feel pain when emotion and pain should be present in some incident is suffering from a "feeling" shut-off. (DMSMH, p. 319)

2. this most likely will be found in the prenatal area. The word "feeling" means both pain and emotion: thus, the phrase "I can't feel anything," may be an anesthetic for both. (DMSMN, pp. 319�320)

3. a "feeling" shut-off can deny all somatics so that the patient does not feel them. If the patient seems insensible to trouble on the track, be sure that he has a feeling shut-off. (DMSMH, p. 326)
