Failure to demonstrate unconscious perception during balanced anaesthesia by postoperative motor response.

Eighty patients undergoing a standardized balanced anaesthesia were randomly assigned to either a suggestion group (N = 38) or a control group (N = 42), in a double-blind design. Anaesthesia was maintained with nitrous oxide, enflurane and fentanyl. Patients in the suggestion group were played seaside sounds, interrupted by statements of the importance of touching the ear during a postoperative visit, by means of a prerecorded audiotape and headphones. Tapes containing these suggestions were played from 30 min after the first incision, for a duration of 15 min. Patients in the control group were only played seaside sounds. There were no significant differences between the groups in either the number of patients touching their ears postoperatively or the number and duration of ear touches.

The analytic initiation: the effect of the archetype of initiation on the personal unconscious.

The author proposes the term "analytic initiation' to describe a rite of passage from childhood to adult life effected by psychotherapy. He suggests this passage is based upon a personal regression within the embrace of an archetypal symbolic process. Archetypal symbols orientate the analysand towards the transformative potential of a regressive experience. They also contain him as he separates from parental complexes and tolerates their dissolution. The analysand's growth depends on his submitting to an intrapsychic and interpersonal experience of the initiatory process with its attending regression. Correspondingly, it relies on the analyst being available for both the personal and impersonal transference/countertransference interaction. Over time, the analysand's participation in this process brings his ego in greater relationship to the Self. The most important outcome of a successfully constellated analytic initiation is not the dissolution of a group of complexes. Rather, it is the establishment of a symbolic process that allows the individual to continue to evolve. The author supports his findings with a critical review of Jung's writings on initiation and additional case material.

Visual evoked response correlates of unconscious mental processes.

Average evoked responses and accompanying free associations elicited by subthreshold visual stimuli were studied to determine if a differential discrimination between two stimuli would be reflected in either or both of these responses. The results indicate that the effects of subliminal perception are encoded in the average evoked response and also influence the content of free associations.

Comparison of proprietary elemental and whole-protein diets in unconscious patients with head injury.

Forty men who had sustained head injury were randomly assigned to one of five groups to receive 0.2 g nitrogen/kg body weight/day as either an elemental or a whole-protein diet. Three proprietary elemental and two whole-protein diets were compared. The mean daily nitrogen intake was below 0.2 g/kg in all groups, and was significantly lower in the groups receiving elemental compared with whole-protein diets. Energy intake was significantly different only between one group receiving an elemental and one receiving a whole-protein diet. Mean daily urinary nitrogen excretion was significantly lower in the groups receiving elemental diets, and mean daily nitrogen balance was negative in all groups except one receiving a whole-protein diet. Reduced nitrogen intakes occurred particularly with the elemental diets, which often provoked reflex vomiting or gastric stasis. The need to introduce diets at reduced strength made a negative balance almost inevitable, but nutritional balance seemed to be more readily achieved with the whole-protein diets. More work is needed to assess the relative merits of these proprietary diets compared with tube feeds prepared in hospitals.
