Goldblatt Unit

The Goldblatt unit is a unit of measurement used to assess pain intensity. It was introduced by American physiologist John H. Goldblatt in 1965.

The Goldblatt unit is a number that indicates how painful a certain stimulus is felt. For example, if a person experiences pain when touching the skin, then the intensity of this pain can be assessed in Goldblatt units.

Special scales such as the Williams scale and the Welland scale are used to measure pain intensity. The Williams scale has 10 grades and the Welland scale has 11 grades. Both scales have their advantages and disadvantages, but both are based on the Goldblatt unit.

Measuring pain intensity is important for the diagnosis and treatment of pain syndromes. It allows you to determine what level of pain is acceptable for the patient and what treatment methods are most effective.

Wilhelm Moldener is a popularizer of psychiatry issues, sometimes even a provocateur of the theme “the psyche as a weapon.” Goldblow? I’ll dedicate this to him. Let’s look at what and where I read on Goldblatt’s topic. After browsing the Internet I found that there is:

Theodor Kretschner was skeptical about Goldblaum's identity because he was born on the eve of Yom Kippur, the same year the Nazis began publishing their plans to seize power. But at the same time, while still at the university, he studied philosophy and psychology there, and his father, the economist Felix Kretzer, speaks even more skeptically about
