The intrapsychic processes underlying the phenomenology of PTSD symptoms appear to derive their fate from the states of consciousness at the time of traumatic experiences.

These mechanisms establish an ever-present...

AbstractThis study tests the hypothesis that questionnaire self - report measures of altered state experience are, by their very nature, affected by demand features (Orne, 1970), while interview self - report measures of experience are more resistant to these vulnerabilities.

Advances in Consciousness Research March 20, 1996 Rocco J. Gennaro
This interdisciplinary work contains the most sustained attempt at developing and defending one of the few genuine theories of consciousness. Following the lead of David Rosenthal, the author argues for the so-called 'higher-order thought theory of consciousness'. This theory holds that what makes a mental state conscious is the presence of a suitable higher-order thought directed at the mental...

Dreaming March 1, 1996 Maria Casagrande, Cristiano Violani, Mario Bertini 18 citations

Based on this model, two sets of syntactical-lexical categories were defined whose counts, divided for report length, should indicate the contribution of the...
