A modified, event-related potential-based guilty knowledge test.

Abstract

Subjects chose and pretended to steal one object from a box of nine. They then watched a visual display of verbal representations of objects including their chosen object or one of eight novel objects on each trial. They were told to count one of the novel objects and that although they were welcome to try to beat our test, they would be unable to avoid noticing the chosen object. P3 responses were obtained only to counted and to chosen objects in 7 of 10 subjects not eliminated for artifact or noncooperation.

Post-traumatic stress disorder.

The management of post-traumatic stress disorder depends on the nature of the stress, the personality of the victim, and the clinical orientation of the therapist. Traumatic situations may be experienced by individuals or by groups, and may be isolated incidents (such as unexpected civil disasters) or continuing occupational hazards, such as are experienced by soldiers, firemen or police. The first concern of therapists, whatever their methods of treatment, is an understanding of the nature of the trauma, and of the inherent differences in each type. This paper seeks to identify such differences. Some general therapeutic principles are then suggested.
