Basal forebrain amnesia is usually due to damage to the septal nucleus and the subcallosal area. This wide variability reflects the fact that the ACoA perfuses a broad anatomical brain region, all of which is vulnerable in the event of rupture to damage from infarction, either directly or secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage, vasospasm, or hematoma formation. Such deficits vary from a very mild impairment to a severe amnesic disorder called basal forebrain amnesia. Memory deficits, along with associated behavioral disorders, frequently follow rupture and surgical repair of an ACoA aneurysm. Ginette Lafleche, Mieke Verfaellie, in Encyclopedia of Applied Psychology, 2004 5.2.1 Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Individuals providing sedation and anesthesia for children must be able to detect and support cardiorespiratory insufficiency. As sedation deepens toward general anesthesia, loss of airway patency, loss of airway-protective reflexes, and loss of cardiovascular stability occur. Respiratory depression and hemodynamic compromise may be profound. Deep sedation occurs when cardiorespiratory reflexes are obtunded or lost. Light (minimal) sedation is anxiolysis with minimally reduced reflexes or airway patency. Cardiorespiratory reflexes ( airway-protective and vasomotor reflexes) are reduced with general anesthesia. ![]() General anesthesia is characterized by unconsciousness, amnesia, and reduced physiologic reflexes. Sedation describes a medically induced state in the continuum between wakefulness and general anesthesia (see Table 74.7). It is also possible to provide analgesia (local, spinal, or epidural) without altering consciousness. However, it is important to remember that sedative-hypnotic agents may alter consciousness without producing analgesia analgesia and hypnosis are not synonymous. Many drugs provide anxiolysis and amnesia for such events ( Table 74.8). A primary goal of anesthetic management is to minimize fear and anxiety during both painful and nonpainful procedures. Awareness during procedures may be as physically and psychologically deleterious as the experience of pain. The attenuation of both consciousness (hypnosis) and conscious recall ( amnesia) is critical during pediatric anesthesia care. Kliegman MD, in Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 2020 Hypnosis and Amnesia and Jacoby holds none of them back when it comes to disembowling humanistic psychology, especially its neo- and post-Freudian fronts with their annoying Allportian optimism and their "cult of subjectivity." There are books that seem to have been written in one long bad mood, and this is one of them.Robert M. Social Amnesia: a Critique of Contemporary. Whether the mood is justified is another matter. S: Journal of the Circle for Lacanian Ideology Critique, 8, 1-5. traditional Marxism lacked a psychological dimension to explain the dominance of the capitalist. Social amnesia: A critique of contemporary psychology. New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction Publishers. The master and his emissary: The divided brain and the making of the Western world. Jacoby presents convincing examples of how thoroughly the psychologies he discusses sell themselves out to the economic and political machinery of civilization-while regarding themselves as tools of "authenticity," "awakening," "sensitivity," and "self-realization."One example: by insisting on these nice goals in the face of, say, corporate takeovers, the implication is that the pain people feel is entirely subjective. ![]() By focusing on finding "meaning" and a "new attitude" in the face of societally inflicted adversity, psychologists do their part in making that adversity seem like business as usual rather than a form of injustice that ought to be protested. (Compare this with Martin-Baro's insight that plenty of psychological pain is actually psychosocial rather than individual.)Fromm, Maslow, and Rogers get a particularly bad beating, and perhaps their counter-phobic and regressive cheeriness deserves it. Nevertheless, it's painful to see such pummelings inflicted on these men. I can see using sarcasm and irony on, say, the get-rich-and-grow notions of a Deepak Chopra. Social amnesia by Russell Jacoby, unknown edition. The same with all these "we make our reality" New Agers whose mania is matched only by their denial. Social amnesia: a critique of contemporary psychology 1996, Transaction Publishers in English. But Abe Maslow?In his desire to unmask the humanists and neoanalysts as hypocrites and philosophical dilettantes, Jacoby says next to nothing about their accomplishments-Karen Horney's modification of Freud's useless theory of women, Fromm's illumination of the flight from freedom, etc. Nor about Freud's shortcomings, his reductionism in particular. The word doesn't even appear in the index.
