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...

Ibn Khaldun’s theories about perception, logic and knowledge are clearlyinfluenced by Aristotelian thought; however being somewhat ecclectic, he adds,synthesizes and arrives at his own perspective. In addition, however novelIbn Khaldin’s conclusions may be, there is the underlying awareness of theSource of all knowledge: “Knowledge comes only from Allah, the Strong,the Wise.” His philosophy,...
Psychological Reports October 1, 1985 Gayle Privette 5 citations
Two experiential phenomena, performance and feeling, were defined operationally by a model that indicated gradients and possible interrelations between phenomena (Privette, 1985). Six events characterize major gradients and interrelations: peak performance, functioning at one's best; peak experience, highest happiness; flow, intrinsic reward, identified as a sport or game; an average event,...
Journal of Psychoactive Drugs October 1, 1985 Sidney Cohen 19 citations
The varieties of psychotic LSD experiences are many. A very few may resemble a delirium, some are quite reminiscent of schizophrenia and others have an idiosyncratic quality not seen in the naturally occurring psychoses. The psychotic response to LSD is better understood than transcendent experiences because its neurochemistry and phenomenology have been worked out. Additionally, there is...
Journal of Psychoactive Drugs October 1, 1985 Richard Yensen 20 citations
A review of the historical trends in LSD research clearly indicates that LSD and similar drugs are too powerful and unique in their psychological effects to be mistaken for and studied as just another group of psychotropic compounds. The importance of the theoretical understanding and expectations of the researchers in determining the subjective effects and results of LSD treatment is...
