Abstract
The general aim of the experiment was to discover whether, during an interview directed at discussing the patient's life, there was any significant alteration of blood-pressure, heart rate or brain waves in association with emotional content; as it turned out, changes in blood-pressure proved to be the most rewarding field for study and in consequence this aspect was accorded more attention.Keywords
