The problem is more easily digested in this article from the bbc and my guess is that what we're doing here is actually beginning to explore the physical repercussions of how the authoritarian structures we are submitted to in our lives actually affect us, affect our I and in that affection have concrete repercussions for the whole of our lives. We are mostly talking here about people who were unable to readapt and overcome the shunning from being consistently controlled because of their social behavior. People who were too damaged to reach out for their own mechanisms of resilience. People who did not find enough help anywhere to overcome the difficulties. Since I am so familiar with these things, it is not surprising that I'm interested in the subject!
A good next step would be to explore pain. Koning says pain is LIGHT!

Children who develop behavioural problems at school are more than twice as likely to suffer chronic pain in adulthood, research has suggested.
Experts believe the finding could signal a biological link between poor behaviour and the feelings of pain experienced by some people.
Nearly 19,000 people from across the UK, all born in the same week in 1958, were tested for the study.
The results are published in the journal Rheumatology.
The researchers collated information from those studied at the ages of seven, 11 and 16, and again at 42 and 45.
Parents and teachers separately assessed each child's behaviour in areas such as restlessness, being alone, ability to make friends, obedience, sucking thumbs, lying and bullying.
Until now, it was unknown whether maladjusted behaviour in children was a long-term marker for chronic widespread pain in adulthood. Our study shows that it is

When the subjects reached the age of 42 they were asked to fill in a questionnaire about any psychological distress they had suffered in adult life.
At 45 they filled in another questionnaire on the amount and kind of pain they had experienced in adulthood.
The study found that 13% of the woman tested had experienced chronic widespread pain (CWP), while the figure for men was 12%.
Those youngsters whose teachers had highlighted severe and continuous behavioural problems at the ages of seven, 11 and 16 were more than twice as likely to suffer CWP in adulthood compared with children who were well behaved.
Other studies have also shown a link between poor behaviour in childhood and psychological problems in later life.
CWP is thought to affect 12% of adults and is most commonly reported in the 50 to 60 age group.
'Psychological distress'
The researchers, led by a team from the University of Aberdeen, said there could be a biological reason for the effects found in the study.
Lead author Dong Pang said: "We know already that severe adverse events in childhood such as hospitalisation after a road traffic accident and separation from mothers are linked to CWP in adulthood.
"In addition, aspects of childhood behaviour are strongly related to children reporting CWP.
"However, until now, it was unknown whether maladjusted behaviour in children was a long-term marker for CWP in adulthood. Our study shows that it is."
Mr Pang said it was possible the correlation could be explained by long-term neuroendoctrine dysfunction beginning in early life.
He said the body's stress response system had been shown to be linked to behaviour in childhood. Changes in this system have also been linked to CWP.
Professor Gary Macfarlane, who also worked on the study, said changing a person's lifestyle could help alter the pattern, including increasing the amount of exercise someone took as well as watching out for signs of psychological distress and behavioural problems in childhood.
He added: "We plan to undertake some studies in children to understand what range of factors cause a disturbance to the stress-response axis. Such work can then inform what intervention studies may be appropriate."
