Memory, Empathy, and Interactive Dimensions of Psychoanalytic Process
How is psychoanalysis to deal with its ever widening field of clinical observations and the changing theoretical perspectives that may accompany them—e.g., those concerning intersubjectivity and empathy? Will it be necessary, as some suggest, to modify traditional theory and to abandon related principles of technique such as anonymity and abstinence? Detailed clinical examples of specific interactions are presented to illustrate the interrelated …
The Art and Science of Dream Interpretation
Dream imagery presents a special opportunity to lead patient and analyst through the patient's network of memories to the discovery of unconscious memories that have complicated and interfered with the patient's attempts to resolve important life problems. This is an important, perhaps indispensable, first step on the way to successful working through to solutions that are more rational and realistic than the neurotic symptoms that brought the pa…
The Future of Psychoanalysis in Academic Psychiatry
Converging Sectors Of Psychoanalysis And Neurobiology
Il est plus juste de dire que psychanalyse et neurobiologie sont des disciplines «convergentes» plutot que de pretendre qu'elles pourraient avoir des frontieres communes. Or, les apports de la psychanalyse font l'objet d'un rejet de la part des neurobiologistes qui les ecartent comme non pertinents. L'inverse est egalement vrai. Cette situation pese lourdement sur l'avenir de la psychanalyse. Est-il possible d'y remedier? Le cas d'une jeune femme…
Implications of a Biopsychosocial Model for Research in Psychiatry
Developments in general and living systems theory, in computer science, and in research instrumentation and technology have led to new perspectives on the patient as a person. The biopsychosocial model forces realization that states of health and illness can be understood fully only in terms of their biological, psychological, and social parameters. Research implications of this model, particularly the appreciation it engenders for the brain's ro…
Planning of research on effectiveness of psychotherapy
THERE have been few convincing research studies on the effectiveness of the various psychotherapies. The studies of large scope have typically had insufficient or inadequate controls. Other studies, often more adequate in methodology, have been so limited in scope that any generalization of their findings must be very tenuous. Until recently, few studies have built cumulatively on earlier ones to provide comparable rather than conglomerate data. …
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…
The Development of Cardiac Rate Regulation in Preweanling Rats
Cardiac rate was recorded by lightweight leads from unrestrained pups under 4 conditions: in the home cage litter situation, while being picked up by the experimenter, during 6 min alone in a novel environment, and in response to a startle stimulus. Resting heart rates in the litter showed evidence of high sympathetic activity during the second week of life; cardiac responses to stimulation were consistently deceleratory. By 20 days, the adult pa…
Discrimination and Recognition of Weak Stimuli
Psychologic and physiologic (GSR) discrimination thresholds were compared in 139 subjects exposed to prior pairing of one of two visual stimuli with electric shocks. Seventy-seven subjects conditioned and 62 did not in response to this procedure. Forty-four control subjects received no shock, but were otherwise exposed to identical experimental schedules. The schedules permitted comparison of the effects of immediate vs. delayed communication of …
Cardiovascular Responses and their Psychological Correlates
Heart rate and blood pressure responses in human subjects, when they occur, coincide with the presentation of TAT cards and appear to be related to the interaction of the subject and experimenter and to the subject's communicating his story, but not to its content. Merely looking at the card without having to tell a story coincides with negligible physiological responses. During the period when a subject looks at a card, knowing he will have to t…

Psychophysiologic Studies of the Neonate
The heart rate and behavioral responses to a repetitive series of air-stream stimulations were measured in 40 3–5 day old babies and their heart rate responses were correlated with their pre-stimulus heart rate levels. These correlations were plotted as a series of individual statistical regression lines that reflect the apparent lawful inverse relationship between the size of the heart rate response and the heart rate of the babies at the time o…
Exploration of the Doctor-Patient Relationship through Projective Techniques
Study of the doctor-patient and other interpersonal relationship situations through projective techniques appears to be a useful and productive direct method for examining the psychodynamics of the patients' attitudes and patterns of participation in important life relationships. Application of such techniques in a comparative study of patients with hypertension and peptic ulcer has disclosed sharp differences between them as well as many similar…
Effect of Variations in Laboratory Procedure and Experimenter upon the Ballistocardiogram, Blood Pressure, and Heart Rate in Healthy Young Men
Psychological and physiological (BCG, ECG, heart rate, and arterial blood pressure) responses to the stress associated with experimentation itself have been studied in 48 healthy young soldiers. Two clusters of variables (uncertainty as to the exact nature of the procedure, plus military rank, professional status, experience, and personality of the experimenter) have been separately and independently manipulated. Two "identical" experiments on co…
Comparison of Blood Pressure Response to Veriloid and to the Doctor
In a series of 4 patients with benign essential hypertension, the hypotensive effects of an oral preparation of Veriloid (Veratrum viride) were assayed over an 8-month period of treatment. Although significant falls in blood pressure of small magnitude were produced by the drug in 3 of the patients, an additional factor of importance was noted to influence the results in the entire group. This factor represented the attitude of the investigator a…
Electroencephalographic and Psychological Studies of a Case of Migraine with Severe Preheadache Phenomena
The clinical and electroencephalographic findings in a case of migraine with severe and repeated preheadache focal neurological phenomena are presented. Psychological data on the patient revealed many of the attacks to have occurred in a setting of unexpressed anger. Evidence is presented to support the vasospatic nature of these attacks in migraine, and the relationship of the preheadache phenomena in migraine and the focal hypertensive encephal…
