Abstract

Reports of psycho-analytic interviews being of necessity ambiguous and

inaccurate as to descriptions of emotional changes, the author developed a technique by means of which fluctuations of emotional tension could be measured on the basis of the correlation between certain factors of the patient's verbal production and certain physiological variations. He found that changes in conscious affect are positively associated with pulse rate and changes in unconscious tension are positively associated with electrical skin conductivity.
