Abstract

The first part of this paper is a brief overview of the keynote speech given by Jeffrey Masson at the Sixth Conference of the Society for Existential Analysis, London, entitled Issues of power in the psychotherapeutic relationship, in which Masson raised various questions about the assumptions of what constitutes the alleged inappropriate behaviour of therapists, and the boundaries of the professional role that must not be overstepped. These criticisms are begun to be addressed in this paper. The overall aim of this paper is to promote a sceptical and critical discussion of the psychotherapeutic relationship and a few of its founding assumptions.

Prefrontal cortex: procedural sequence learning and awareness.

Activation of the prefrontal cortex has been linked to awareness during sequence-learning tasks. A recent study, however, finds activation of the prefrontal cortex during such tasks regardless of awareness. So what is the neurophysiological basis of awareness, and what is the role of the prefrontal cortex in sequence learning?

States of awareness across multiple memory tasks: obtaining a "pure" measure of conscious recollection.

Four experiments were conducted to examine the nature of recollective experience across different explicit memory tests. Experiments 1 and 2 showed that the proportion of retrieved items that were given Remember responses were equivalent across free recall, category cued recall, category plus letter cued recall, and recognition memory tests unlike the result reported by Tulving [Can. Psychol. 26 (1985) 1]. Experiments 3 and 4 revealed that Remember judgments are influenced by both conceptual and perceptual variables not only in the recognition task but in other explicit memory tasks as well. Taken together, the empirical evidence from this study demonstrates that explicit memory performance is accompanied by different states of awareness not only in recognition but also across other memory tasks including free recall.
