Philosophy October 1, 1986 J. F. M. Hunter
It is a curious thing about the philosophy of mind, that it includes surprisingly little about minds. In an average anthology on the subject, or a book like Ryle's, one finds discussions of thinking, imagining, believing, willing, remembering, and so on, but not of minds. It seems to be assumed that investigating these topics is investigating minds; but whether that is true is not itself made a...
Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry June 1986 R R Kydd, J J Wright
This paper examines the classical functions of the psyche--cognition, affection and conation--from a phenomenological viewpoint and finds them to be defined each in terms of the other. It is held that this circularity of definition reflects the fundamental unity of conscious experience and, as a consequence, that the search for the biological substrate underlying individual functions too...
Sleep June 1, 1986 Carlos H. Schenck, S R Bundlie, M G Ettinger et al.
Four men, aged 67-72 years, had 4-month to 6-year histories of injuring themselves or their spouses with aggressive behaviors during sleep, often during attempted dream enactment. A 60-year-old woman had disruptive though nonviolent sleep and dream behaviors. Polysomnography did not detect seizures but did document REM sleep pathology with variable loss of chin atonia, extraordinarily increased...
Psychiatry May 1, 1986 L S Benjamin
The study of sequences in the stream of consciousness during patient free association and self observation has long been held by psychoanalysts to be a major part of successful psychotherapy. Yet there have been essentially no methods for rigorously quantifying and studying the dynamic relations implied by the sequencing of patient verbalizations. The present paper proposes that Structural...
Pharmacological Reviews March 1, 1986 B. Martin
The many studies that have been included in this review suggest that cannabinoids have ubiquitous effects on biological systems. These results also underscore the intensity to which cannabinoids have been studied. While there are numerous reasons for the prodigious amount of cannabinoid research, a major stimulus has been the desire to identify a specific biochemical event or pathway that is...

Summary A survey of 25 consecutive admissions to a psychiatric hospital of patients aged 35 and under reveals that cannabis use is reported by up to 48% of patients, but that it could be verified by urine tests in only 17.4%. The presence of cannabis in the urine appeared to play little part in the phenomenology of the illness in all except one patient. A case history of this one identified...
Pharmacology, Biochemistry, and Behavior February 1986 S B Sparber, L P Dwoskin, M S Kleven
Brain perfusion experiments of conscious rats engaged in operant behavior and administered fluoxetine or LSD, with or without prior injection of 5-HTP, indicate there is probably more than one functional pool of 5-HT in the CNS. Furthermore, the fact that prior loading with the precursor is necessary before unmasking an effect of LSD suggests the LSD-sensitive pool is newly synthesized and...
1986 M. Hedegaard, S. Kvale
In this article, we extend psychosocial research methodology by integrating a breaching experiment, influenced by ethnomethodological sociology, with aspects of mindfulness practice, influenced by Buddhist traditions. We offer an empirical investigation of what happens when researcher-participants subtly ‘swim against the stream’ of normative public social conduct in a capital city setting. Our...
Studies in the age of Chaucer 1986 Denise L. Despres
REVIEWS the glosses and rubrics. To Gillmeister, the final disposition of CTis that of a pilgrims' anthology of allegorical stories promoting the heavenlyJerusa lem (p. 142), with The Parson's Tale its apotheosis. Some readers may favor, on the other hand, such a position as Charles Owen's, that the theological thrust of CT, originally framed by Melibee andParsT, waned as Chaucer grew more and...
Sleep 1986 S Purcell, J Mullington, A Moffitt et al.
This research was directed toward the contradiction sustained by cognitive dream psychology, which on the one hand regards dreaming as higher symbolic activity and, on the other, sees its organizational and functional characteristics as derivative and/or inferior to those of waking consciousness. Study 1 evaluates the degree of self-reflective meta-cognition in dreams from different sleep...
