In the literature on problem solving, problems that share an underlying structural representation, and differ from each other only in their superficial details, or "cover story" are referred to as "isomorphs" (Newell & Simon, 1972).

Feedback, however, focu ses the solver on the surface structure of problems and, thus, makes it difficult for solvers to see connections between isomorphs. Feedback only explicitly informs the solver about the specific problem to which it pertains; thus, it is unlikely that feedback on its own would promote the generation of abstract solution strategies.

Specifically, I refer to what are usually called "somatization disorder" and "non-compliance." I wish to suggest that these may exist as isomorphs of a profoundly reductionistic pattern of health-care delivery, what Gregory Bateson called "ecology chopping." These clinical configurations, ordinarily attributed to characteristics of the "patient" or perhaps of the family, may be thought of in a more interesting way as patterned behavior at the interface of patient system and the health-care system.
