Perceptions thus appear to unfounded that serve function maintaining identity.

Materials methods: One hundred seventy‐nine patients admitted for mixed ambulatory surgery were included in study. After induction general anaesthesia, randomized receive...
An experimental study on 12 healthy volunteers showed that an amnesic effect of a therapeutic dose diazepam (10 mg 3 times day) may be explained by theory state‐dependent learning. Asymmetric state‐dependence was demonstrated visually as well verbally learned material, but in the latter case there also evidence anticonsolidating upon The findings are related to drug dependence, and it is suggested gains obtained during long‐term treatment not transfer no‐drug state.
Forty anxiety patients diagnosed according to DSM-III-R criteria were included: panic disorder (n = 12), agoraphobia 11), generalized 9), not otherwise specified 8) and compared with 12 controls.
