Individual Differences in Conscious ExperienceIndividual Differences in Conscious Experience is intended for readers with philosophical, psychological, or clinical interests in subjective experience. It addresses some difficult but important issues in the study of consciousness, subconsciousness, and self-consciousness. The book's fourteen chapters are written by renowned, pioneering researchers who, collectively, have published more than fifty books and more than one thousand journal articles. The editors' introductory chapter frames the book's subtext: that mind-brain theories embodying the constraints of individual differences in subjective experience should be given greater credence than nomothetic theories ignoring those constraints. The next five chapters describe research and theory pertaining to individual differences in conscious sensations specifically, individual differences in pain perception, phantom limbs, gustatory sensations, and mental imagery. Then, two succeeding chapters focus on individual differences in subconsciousness. The final six chapters address individual differences in altered states of self-consciousness dreams, hypnotic phenomena, and various clinical syndromes. (Series B) |

Page 68 - 1985). A combination of progressive relaxation training and EMG biofeedback of stump and forehead muscles produces significant reductions of phantom limb pain and anxiety (Sherman 1976) that are sustained for up to 3 years (Sherman, Gall, & Gormly 1979). Finally, stress levels and pain intensity ratings sampled over a

This hypothesis would explain the perception of phantom limb paresthesias or dysesthesias in the absence of regional sympathetic hyperactivity or trophic changes at the stump. Taken together, these observations may explain the puzzling finding that only after amputation does the (phantom) limb become the site of
