Acute Grief In Adulthood: Toward A Cognitive Model Of Normal And Pathological Mourning, Allen G. Schor Jan 1974

Acute Grief In Adulthood: Toward A Cognitive Model Of Normal And Pathological Mourning, Allen G. Schor

Open Access Dissertations

The 'cognitive model' in this treatise is proposed as an original method of understanding, describing and explaining the acute grief process and outcome. The model suggests that the primary impact of a sudden death event is upon the survivor's conceptual frame-of-reference. This differs from the traditional psychoanalytic view of mourning which emphasizes the emotional impact as being foremost.

Man's typical functioning is assumed to be dependent on the cognitive dimensions or categories by which he comprehends those events which he encounters. These dimensions are postulated as forming a cognitive structural matrix, in which dimensions relating to significant others are central …

The Effects Of Extended Blocking, Motivation, Chain Flooding, And Safety Testing On Approach Measured Fear Reduction Following Response Prevention In Rats, Donald Spring Jan 1973

The Effects Of Extended Blocking, Motivation, Chain Flooding, And Safety Testing On Approach Measured Fear Reduction Following Response Prevention In Rats, Donald Spring

Open Access Dissertations

Sixty male Wistar rats were trained to avoid a CS grid with 0.7mA(UCS) shock under food deprived and non-deprived conditions. There was no difference in deprived and non-deprived conditions in fear reduction as measured by subsequent approaches to the CS following response prevention. Response prevention varied over 3 treatments consisting of O response prevention for 20 subjects, response prevention until exploratory behavior occurred for 10 cumulative seconds for 20 other subjects, and response prevention until exploratory behavior occurred for 120 cumulative seconds for 20 other subjects. No differences were found between these treatments in approach measures to the CS during …

Differential Effects Of Guanethidine And Reserpine On Norepinephrine In The Brain And Heart Of Male Albino Rats Subjected To Restraint, Thomas Paul Blaszkowski

Open Access Dissertations

The effect of guanethidine (1.20 mg/kg, i.p.) or reserpine (0.2 mg/kg, i.p.) has been compared on various indices of pituitary-adrenal stimulation in rats subjected to chronic forced restraint for 24 days. This was accomplished by analyzing the serum corticosterone, the adrenal ascorbic acid (AAA) and various organ weights such as the adrenals, brain and heart. Peripheral and central norepinephrine (NE) was also measured.

Chronically stressed, control rats or those treated with guanethidine demonstrated both behavioral and neurochemical adaptation. Initial excitation associated with restraint was related to changes in NE in the brain and heart. As the experiment progressed, the stressed, …

The Interrelationships Between Chronic Restraint Stress And Reserpine Sedation: Effects On Pituitary-Adrenal Function And Brain Serotonin And Norepinephrine Levels In Male Albino Rats, John Adam Rosecrans Jan 1963

The Interrelationships Between Chronic Restraint Stress And Reserpine Sedation: Effects On Pituitary-Adrenal Function And Brain Serotonin And Norepinephrine Levels In Male Albino Rats, John Adam Rosecrans

Open Access Dissertations

The General Adaptation Syndrome (G.A.S.) was characterized for chronic forced restraint stress in normal and reserpinized (1 mg/kg, I.P.) male albino rats. This was accomplished by analyzing the interrelationships among brain neurohumoral levels (serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE)), serum corticosterone (KS) levels, and various organ weights such as thymus, testes, pituitaries, and adrenals.

Reserpine was observed to prevent normal rats from adapting to this stress (mortality rate was 50%) possibly via inanition. It was suggested that the overall non-adaptive effects produced could ultimately be due to the ability of reserpine to induce a chemical sympathectomy. Thus, by depleting the A.N.S. …
