Alcohol ingestion succeeded in changing immobility to mobility quite strikingly in one pilot subject ( the only one with whom this technique was tried ).
This subject, who has been undergoing psychoanalytic psychotherapy for five years, did not give a positive Kohnstamm reaction under any of the four standardized conditions used in this experiment while sober.
After two drinks containing alcohol, her arm flew upward very freely.
There was evident delight on the part of the subject in response to her experience of the freedom of movement.
She described herself as having the same kind of `` irresponsible '' feeling as she had once experienced under hypnosis.
She ascribed her delight with both experiences to the effect they seemed to have of temporarily removing from her the controls which she felt so compulsively necessary to maintain even when it might seem appropriate to relax these controls.
