36 patients with agranulocytosis among them 29 cancer patients were treated in a Life Island (LI) during totally 990 days and were studied for their psychological reactions. Another group of 9 patients among them 6 leukemia patients were treated in reverse isolation (RI) during 578 days. The psychological reactions of these patients were equally studied and were compared with those of the first group. Main reactions to the isolation in the LI were signs of deprivation, specially movement deprivation, as well as aggressive and regressive behaviour. The patients in RI showed on the other hand sensations of loneliness and boredom. To enter and to leave the LI was more important for the patients than the beginning and the end of RI. The isolation was never terminated for psychological reasons. The following factors are important for coping with the isolation; human bindings to doctors, nurses and relations, activities, music, religion as well as adequate information and an attitude of the patient himself which allows him to support the fact of the illness.
36例粒细胞缺乏症患者，其中29例癌症患者在“生命岛”（LI）接受了为期990天的治疗，并对其心理反应进行了研究。另一组9例患者，其中6例白血病患者在反向隔离（RI）环境下接受了578天的治疗。同样对这些患者的心理反应进行了研究，并与第一组患者的反应进行了比较。在LI中隔离的主要反应是被剥夺的迹象，特别是活动受限，以及攻击性行为和退行性行为。另一方面，RI中的患者表现出孤独和无聊的感觉。对患者来说，进入和离开LI比RI的开始和结束更重要。隔离从未因心理原因而终止。以下因素对于应对隔离很重要：与医生、护士和亲属的人际联系、活动、音乐、宗教以及充分的信息，还有患者自身的一种态度，这种态度使他能够接受患病这一事实。
