The brain and communication are basic for clinical human sciences
This article focuses on basic concepts modelled on medical science for the human sciences. This reformulates problems experienced by people who consult counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and other human science clinicians as located in the brain. These troubles can be described as difficulties in social life and human communication, on the one hand, and as varied brain physiology, on the other. These problems and their solu…
The paradoxical power of the depressed patient: A problem for the ranking theory of depression
The social ranking (or social competition) theory of depression suggests that the capacity for episodes of depressed mood evolved as a mechanism for inhibiting challenge. Depressed mood induces the sufferer to accommodate to low social rank, or to losing in social competition, or to adopting the one‐down position in a complementary relationship (Price, 1991; Price, Sloman, Gardner, Gilbert & Rohde, 1994; Sloman, Price, Gilbert & Gardner, 1994). T…
The Social Competition Hypothesis of Depression
Depressive personality and depressive illness are examined from an evolutionary adaptationist standpoint. It is postulated that the depressive state evolved in relation to social competition, as an unconscious, involuntary losing strategy, enabling the individual to accept defeat in ritual agonistic encounters and to accommodate to what would otherwise be unacceptably low social rank.
Phenomenology and Treatment of Psychophysiological Disorders
Attribution of Control, Essays, and Early Medical School Experience
The research examines the workings of two mediating variables, attribution of control and social support, in a nonlinear model of stress research. Measuring in stressfully stimulating experience of being a first-year medical student, we found that a short instrument assessing locus of control in recent experience displayed stability and sensitivity to change in measuring two independent dimensions: internal and external loci of control. An indepe…

The Relationship of Small Limb Movements During REM Sleep to Dreamed Limb Action
Ten adult subjects, selected for good dream recall and ability to produce spontaneously fine limb movements in the laboratory, reported their last dream experience after awakenings from REM sleep during various limb movement and no movement conditions. The reports were rated for amount and girdle location of dreamed actions by judges blind to the awakening condition. There was a significant correlation between the number of girdles moving before …
Similarities in Mental Content of Psychotic States, Spontaneous Seizures, Dreams, and Responses to Electrical Brain Stimulation in Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
The present study was guided by the hypothesis that temporal lobe epilepsy psychosis is associated with a definable syndrome of deficits in the higher cortical functions. Comparison was made of the mental content and mechanisms observed during psychotic episodes, seizures, dreams, and responses to electrical brain stimulation occurring in diverse combinations in 5 patients with drug-refractory temporal lobe epilepsy referred for neurosurgical tre…
