Abstract
Changes in the human functional state in response to nonverbal psychotherapeutic suggestion were studied by the electrophysiological methods of electrocardiography and galvanic skin response. It was revealed that, in 55% of subjects, the heart rate increased upon nonverbal suggestion (p < 0.01) and, in 45% of subjects, a tendency toward a decrease was observed, while the heart rate in the control group decreased (p < 0.05). The electrocardiogram T wave amplitude decreased significantly (p < 0.05) and was found to be the parameter most sensitive to psychotherapeutic influence. An increase in the galvanic skin response peaks in the period of psychotherapeutic suggestion was observed in 86.7% (p < 0.01) of subjects; on the contrary, in the control series of experiments, a tendency toward a decrease was observed. The changes revealed in the autonomic parameters of functional state permit the conclusion that the subjects perceived unconscious information during the nonverbal suggestion, and this was reflected in increased psychoemotional tension in the subjects.
