Conditioning is one of the core methods of psychiatry. It is a
behavioral method, with a stimulus-response constellation. The
stimulus itself can be measured, changed, and combined, and the
responses can be measured qualitatively and quantitatively.
Conditioning uses the conditional reflex phenomenon. During the
conditioning procedure, responses to certain stimuli are acquired
where no responses existed previously. Over time behavioral
conditioning expanded to include neurophysiological aspects and has
been correlated with psychic manifestations. This comprehensive
work deals with the conditioning method, covering fully its
behavioral, neurophysiological, and psychiatric aspects.The volume
is divided into five parts. Part I summarizes present-day knowledge
on the neurophysiology of conditioning. Part II sets out the
historical sequence in the correlation between psychopathology and
pathological brain functions. Part III describes the best-known
conditioning techniques applied in human testing, particularly
those which are applicable for diagnostic purposes, is discussed.
Part IV is concerned with clinical applications of the method and
discusses the findings and the implications that it has for
psychopathology and therapy or, in general, for psychiatry. Part V
contains a critical evaluation of the matter presented, followed by
a bibliography and index."Conditioning Behavior and Psychiatry"
describes the development of conditioning procedures since the
concept was first introduced. It is primarily concerned with the
analysis of elementary and complex behavioral observations, of
neurophysiological and neuropathological discoveries as seen from
the standpoint of psychiatric disorders. The psychiatric view
presented is, not purely the Pavlovian, but a modern approach to
psychiatry stemming from a Pavlovian orientation.
