PSYC 1100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Electrocardiography, Sleepwalking
Document Summary
Cognitive behavioural therapy correlated with increased activity in anterior cingulate gyrus and decreased activity in amygdala. Amnesia: very common, precipitated normally by a minor physical accident or an emotionally traumatic event. Memory loss can be for a period covering a few hours or days, weeks, months, years, decades. Fugue state: a patient forgets each event as it occurs, no memory for events that are taking place, weeks or months, patient wakes up, confused, anterior grade amnesia with no awareness. Hysterical neurosis: responses occur without patient"s conscious volition, most common involve touch, pain, and position. Hand, finger, leg dissociation: no conscious awareness of limb. Individuals with hysterical character traits usually have a richness of emotions, personal warmth, creative imagination, and a well-developed intuition. Dr. jekyll and mr. hyde: typically one or more secondary personalities which alternate with the primary personality in controlling the individual"s conscious awareness and behaviour.
