MKULTRA Subproject 68

1. Subproject 68 is being initiated as a means to support a research prograrn, the effects upon human behavior of the repetition of verbal signals. The program.wil be under the direction of Dr

two years, starting 18 March 1957.

2. The scope of the project will encompass studies upon the effects of predctermined signals vpon (a) physiological functions, (b) patterns of behavior. The imornediate objectives of the program will entail a study of methods to (a) improve the technique of heteropsychic driving, (b) to investigate the range of physiological functions which can be changed by these procedures, More specifically, these studies will include:

(1) A search for chemical agents whtch will breakdown the ogoing patterns of behavior:......

more rapidly :

more transitorily

with less damage to the perceptive and cognitive capacities of the individual than the present physiotogiçal agents.

(2) An attempt to develop better mcthods of inactivating the patient during the period of driving (exposure to repetition). and at the same time maintain him at a higher level of activity, by physio-.. logical and chenical agents, than by the present physical effects. Among the chemical agents which we propose to explore with respect to their çapacity to produce inactivation are the follow ing (used either singly or in combination):

Artane

Anectine

Bulhocapnine

APPLICATION FOR GRANT

TO STUDY THE EFFECTS UPON HUMAN BEHAVIOR

OF TRE REPETITION OF VERBAL SIGNALS

1. General Purposes

We are requesting a grant to support studies upon the effects upon hunan behavior of the repetition of verbal signals. Our present interest is directed towards both"(a) the productior, of changes in behavior, and (b) changes in physiological funetion, the aajor emphasis to boupon\_thalatter bccause of the greater ease of measurement.

2. Background

of verbal signals have been under study at the l of since June 1953.

A. The earlyinvestigations-were based upon the observation that repeated playback of particularly significant statements mado by the patient during psychotherapy elicited a number of phenomena:

(a) Increased productivity by the patient of material of dynamic significance.

(b) The material was related to the statement repeated (or driven).

(c) Inereased identification of significant components in the repeated material.

(d) This increased identification, or recognition, of significant components was-particularly marked in the patient. It was also evoked in the therapist.

68-37

Departnent of Psychiatry

[PAGE 49]
These observations were reported in an article entitled Psychic Driving, publishèd in the American Journal of Psychiatry. the significance of the findings in connection\_with psychotherapy was also reported.

Working hypothesbs concerning these effects of repetition were set up, among them being:

(a) hypothesis of the work of listening;

(b) hypothesis of the work of talkingi

(c) hypothesis oncerning the shielding of the meaning of the verbal signals, particularly-from-the talker but also from the listener.

B. Further studies brought to light the existence of the.dynamic inplant, this being the designation given to the. fact that exposure to repetition of verbal signals leaves the patient sensitized to the comaunity of action tendencies from which the driving statement was taken. This also\_has\_been-roported in an article entitled Poychic Driving: Dynomic Implant, now awaiting publication in the Psychiatric Cuartorly. The following observations were oade conceming the dynanic iaplant:

i By\_continued replaying of a cue communication, a peraistent tendency to act in a way which can be predetormined with respect to its genoral characteristics can be established. In other words, by driving a cue comnunication one can, without exception, set up in the patient a persisting tendency for that cue statement, and other components of the comunity of action tendencies from which it\_wasdrawn, to rezurn to his awareness.

ii. The dynamic implant thus established, and especially"if reinforced by repeated driving, tends to activate more and more of the components of the relevant comunity of action tendenciss, These componcnts tend to appear in\_the patient's awareness.

iii. This materially contributes to problea identification by the patient and the therapist and, hence, facilitates the processes of therapeutic reorganization.

iv.The-dynamic- qualities of the implant are a function of: (a)' the amount and repetition of drivingi (b) the intensity of the response;"(c) the defenses; (d) stress tolerance; (e) capacity for desensitization.

O

[PAGE 50]
v. The major continuing effects of the dynamic implant are: (a) progressive problem identification; (b) resulting reorganization of behavioral patterns; (c) negative evaluation of neurotic patterns present in the cue conmunication used :n driving.

C. Continued study of the effects of repetition on the patient of his own verbal signals opened up an additional.line.of. inquiry.- This was based upon the finding that a given verbal signal. conveys considerably more than its verbal content.Special apparatus was built to explore this new field of ultra-conceptual comaunication...The following findings were reported at the 1956 meeting of the American Psychopathological Association:

i. That signals are mado which are not conceived as such by the signaler, at least at tha time he makos-them.

ii. That signals are received which are not conceived as such by-the-listener, at least at the tire that\_he.first listens,

iii. That a range of signals may be made which will only at\_tines be-conceived by the signaler and the listener as such;

iv. The ability of both the sigmaler and the listener to recognize signals nay be increased and also decreased.

v.: It is probable that there is a range of signals which cannot be understood by either, but which may, nonetheless, evoke-an appropriate response in the listener.

D. Our studies now turned to attenpts to establish lasting changes in the patient's behavior, using verbal signals of a predeterained nature and of our own devising. After considerable experimentation, we have devoloped a procedure which in the most successful case has produced behavioral changes lasting up to two months. The procedure requires:

i. The breaking dowa of ongoing patterns of the patient's behavior by means of particularly intensive electroshocks (depatterning).

-3.

[PAGE 51]
ii. The intensive repetition (16 hours a day 7- for 6 or 7 days) of the prsarranged verbal signal.

jii. During this period of intensive repetition the patient is kept in partial sensory isolation.

iv. Repression of the driving period is carried out by putting the patient, after the conclusion of the. period, into continuous sleep for 7-10 days. 3

we have sought to bring about physiological-chaage by the repetition of appropriate verbal signals. We have used the same technique as is outlined above for the production of behavioral change. We-have been successful.in achieving change in physiological function with respect to:

(a) the balance of flexor and extensor muscles in the arm;

(b) the relationshipof the blood prcssure levels in the right and left arms.

3. Specific Froposals

We now propose to carry on further studies upon the effects of predetermined signals upon: (a) physiological functions; (b) patterns of behavior, To further this, wo have two major, iunediate objectives:

i.. To improve the technique of heteropsychic driving (the repetition of predetermined verbal-sigalsof our"own devising).

ii, To investigate the range of physiological functions which can te changed by these procedures.

First Oojective: Among the studies which we propose to carry out in pursuit of our first objective are:-

(a) Can we find chemical agents which will serve to break darn the ongoing patterns of behavior:

more rapidly
more transitorily
with less daage to the perceptive and cognitive capacities of the individual than the present physiological agents.

-4.

[PAGE 52]
(b) Can we improve our methods of signal production;possibly by using a multiplicity of voices, with the purpose of capitalizing upon the force of group decision and suggestion.

7 (c) Can we develop better mothods of inactivating the patient during the period of driving (exposure to
repetition),and at the same time maintain hin at a
higher level of activity, by physiological and chemical
agents, than by the-present physical effects. Among
the chemical agents\_which we propose to explore
with respect to their capacity to produce inactivation
are the following (used either singly or in combination):

Anectine

Bulbocapnine

We propose-to-uso LSD 25and other similar agents as a means of breaking down the ongoing patterns of. behavior.

Socond Objective: Among the other physiological functions which we intend to explore with regard to their amenability to change in consequence of the repetition-of-verbal signals-are:

palmar skin conductance skin temperature healing-of-wounds

Procedure to be followed:

The initial procedure which we propose to employ is that already.outlined under section D. From the context,-however. it will be clear that we hope to be able to modify and improve the procedure as we proceed.

The patients selected are almost entirely those suffering from extremely long-teru and intractable psvchoneurotic conditions. In the case of results of physiological driving, the validity of the findings can be assessed by statistical analysis. Repeated estimations of the particular physiological function are made prior to driving and as various periods subsequent to driving (oxposure to repetition). In the case of the studies upon the effects upon behavior of cxposure tc.repetition of vorbal signals,

5.

[PAGE 53]
the patients are studied exhauatively in psychotherapeutic interviews and by psychological test procedures prior to exposure to repetition, and by the same means at various intervals subsoquent to exposure. In addition, follow-up studies are carried on throwhour Social Service section subsequənt to the discharge of the patient.

In the case of physiolozical studies, results can ba based on relatively snail groups of from four to six cases in each category, where the results are as consistent as those which-wo obtained with muscle potentials.. ln regard to shifts in behavioral pattern, considerably larger numbers ara required--up to twenty patients.

The othor aspects of our procedures have already been indicated under. the heading of "Specific Proposalo."
