Description

 The invention relates to medicine, namely to psychology and psychotherapy, and can be used to activate the process of obtaining intuitive knowledge.

 The literature describes the phenomena of intuition, i.e. for example: D.I. Mendeleev's intuitive insight in a dream (table of chemical elements), F.A. Kekule (structure of a benzene ring). Intuition (from the Latin. Intueor - to be amazed) - the ability of a person to find adequate solutions without explicit appeal to the mind. It practically supplements ordinary verbal thinking, and therefore, as a rule, it is most developed among persons incapable of it (Semenov S.P. Motivational analysis, St. Petersburg, 2001, p. 39). The opposite of intuition is associative thinking, i.e. ability to analyze and synthesize, logical and abstract constructions.

 It can be assumed that normally there is a certain balance between intuitive and associative thinking. With an increase in associative thinking, intuition decreases and vice versa.

 It is known that in order to increase and improve the possibilities of associative thinking, psychostimulants are used in small doses (tea, coffee, Coca-Cola, etc.). When taking large doses of psychostimulants, the productivity of associative thinking decreases, as the focus of attention is scattered, it becomes chaotically unstable and uncontrollable.

 It can be assumed that to improve opportunities and increase intuitive thinking, drugs that are opposite in action to psychostimulants can be used, namely hypnotics, drugs of dissociative action.

 Work experience in a psychotherapeutic room for the treatment of alcohol dependence by drug hypnosis using small doses of ketamine - a dissociative drug (patent RU 2033817, registered in the State Register of Inventions 04/30/96, as well as an article in the journal "A new method of psychotherapy of alcoholism" - Social and clinical psychiatry, 1996, 3, pp. 28-31) showed that when using small doses of ketamine, you can direct the patient's attention to the past, present and future. In this case, the patient can extract positive experience, useful knowledge from his own life and intuitively find the right solution to the problem.

 During medical work with patients with alcoholism, the task of studying intuition was not set, but often when trying to draw the patient's attention to an event, dreams (hallucinatory visions) of this event were noted, moreover, with the patient's conviction of his presence at that event. Since the treatment of alcoholic illness was carried out, then the circumstances were chosen from a past life, when the patient lived soberly, from his childhood or youth. Sometimes the patient described the event in such detail, with such details (he drew the diagrams, fragments of what he saw) that it seemed as if he really saw something that he had never seen and learned something that, it would seem, he could not know about. There were other cases when the patient could learn about something, but not visually, but otherwise. A knowledge of some truth, some fact came to him, but how he knew it could not explain. Sometimes what was seen or recognized by the patient was something mundane, sometimes it was unreal, which was difficult to describe.

 In the literature, a method or method has not been found that allows you to activate the process of obtaining intuitive knowledge.

 In order to expand the mental and intellectual capabilities of a person, empirically obtained facts were analyzed and the present method was developed.

 To solve the problem, first the subject is "immersed" in the problem being solved and the need for knowledge about the object under study is brought to a dominant level. After that, ketamine is administered and immersed in sleep, the stage of REM sleep is determined (REM - stage from the English Rapid Eyes Movements) and its specific time required for the study is maintained. A report is established with the subject and verbally induced to solve the problem. In this case, all messages of the subject are recorded.

 The method is as follows.

 The task can be solved most effectively if the subject knows the area of the problem to be solved professionally and competently. Directly before the procedure, a conversation is held, possibly with the involvement of specialists in this field, during which the exact coordinates of the object, time, place, necessary conditions and circumstances necessary for its solution are discussed and determined, as well as attributes and the smallest details regarding this problem, possible solutions and details that hinder its successful resolution. The duration of the conversation is usually 3 hours or more. Then, in the position of the test person lying on the couch, 1 / 10-1 / 30 of the narcotic dose of ketamine is injected, i.e. 0.1-0.03 mg / kg of ketamine is diluted to 5 ml with physiological saline and injected very slowly over 20-30 minutes. This mode of drug administration allows you to maintain the stage of REM sleep during this time. The specified stage of sleep can be clearly identified according to electroencephalographic studies (Romanov A.I. "Sleep Medicine", M., 1998, pp. 144-153). The clinical manifestations of the REM-sleep stage are: rapid movements of the eyeballs, contraction of the facial muscles, increased heart rate and respiration, and increased blood pressure. The most significant and important sign is the possibility of establishing a report with the subject. At the same time, an amazing ease is noted with which the doctor can manipulate the subject's attention, directing him to the necessary time and place of events. The direction of the focus of attention is determined by suggestion and it is realized all the more precisely, the more accurately the subject is able to bring to the necessary phase of sleep and the more accurately the doctor describes the details of the problem being solved. The subject is inspired to find him in the right setting and time, the necessary attributes of the problem being solved are communicated. Throughout the entire time period, studies with the subject support the report and record all the information communicated to them. After obtaining the necessary information, the administration of ketamine is stopped and the subject is returned to wakefulness. The information obtained is processed and its significance for solving the task is determined.

 An example implementation of the method.

 A 37-year-old patient M. turned to a psychotherapy room for alcohol abuse and unsuccessful attempts to stop drinking. When asked what problems besides alcohol addiction she would like to solve, she replied that her sister, who alone raised her daughter, died suddenly six months ago. M. took custody of her niece and took her to her. M. knew that her sister kept a large amount of money from the sale of the apartment in her house, but during all this time she could not find it.

 From the story of M. it was found out that she knew well the lifestyle of her sister, the situation in her house. Given M.’s great interest in solving this problem and her good knowledge of the details of her sister’s life, an alcoholism treatment session was conducted with an simultaneous attempt to solve her problem regarding finding money. At the session, M. brought an album with photographs of her sister. During a conversation in a psychotherapy room, at the request of a doctor, she showed pictures from the album and commented on them in detail, and also answered questions about why she needed money and how she intended to dispose of them. The conversation lasted about two hours.

 Then the patient was placed on a medical couch, offered to lie on his back and close his eyes. An anesthetist intravenously placed and fixed a syringe with 1.0 ml of ketamine (50 mg) diluted in 4.0 ml of physiological saline with a sterile cloth.

 30 s after intravenous administration of the first 0.2 ml of a solution of ketamine (2 mg), a psychotherapist at the head of the couch asked M. where she is, how she feels, how she feels her body and what is around her? M. replied that there was darkness around her, that her body became somewhat heavier. By the symbol of the psychotherapist, the anesthetist introduced two more times 0.2 ml of a solution of ketamine (4 mg). The doctor began the suggestion according to a pre-prepared scenario, he predicts changes in the patient’s well-being in the suggestion formulas: “Perhaps you will notice a change in body weight, it will become lighter or somewhat heavier ... Perhaps the change in body weight will become even more significant, the body will seem to come off land will rise higher and higher. "

 In the fourth minute from the start of the session to the question "Where are you?" - M. replied - "In zero gravity." To the question "What is around you?" - the answer: "White fog". To the question: "Is your body light or heavy?" - the answer is "Weightless". The pause between the question and the answer was 2 s. At the doctor’s sign, the anesthetist introduced two more doses of 0.2 ml of a ketamine solution (4 mg). The doctor conducts a targeted suggestion of sobriety and indifference to alcohol.

 In the next 20 minutes of the psychotherapeutic session, the anesthetist on the sign of the psychotherapist who controls the depth of the drug hypnotic trance with the questions: "Where are you? What is around you? Is your body light or heavy?" every 1.5-2.0 min was injected with 0.4 ml of a solution (4 mg) of ketamine.

 For 10 minutes of the session, the doctor continues the dialogue with the patient. The pause between the question and the answer was 3-4 s. Suggestion of sobriety continues.

 At the 14th minute of the session, to the question: “Where are you? - M. answered:“ At the restaurant. ”“ What's around you? ”- M. answered:“ The restaurant hall. The waitress offers vodka, but I refuse. ”“ Is your body light or heavy? ”- M. answered:“ I don’t know, I probably have no body. ”Pause.

 The doctor began suggesting M. that her intuition abilities were increasing and that perhaps she could find out where the money was. At the same time, verbally “plunged” her into the memories of her sister.

 For a 20 min session, to the question "Where are you?" - M. answered: "In the room." "What's around you?" - the answer: "Opposite me is a sister in a dress of lurex." "Is your body light or heavy?" - the answer: "I'm drunk." The pause between the question and the answer is 5-6 s, heart rate up to 105 beats / min. The speech was slurred, the articulation was disturbed. Rapid eye movements with closed eyelids, tears in the eyes. M.'s condition was assessed as close to the loss of a report, so an anesthesiologist was given a sign to stop administering ketamine. The suggestion was continued.

 At the 22 min session, the doctor suggested that M. was in her sister’s apartment. “Look what's around you?” M. answered: “The things are scattered and I'm trying to remove them. I put my things in a closet, but there is a shoe box in the right corner. She bothers me. I pulled out the box and opened it. In the box is a lurex dress. I pulled out a dress. At the bottom of the box is a bundle. I opened the newspaper, and there was money. "Doctor:" How much money? "- M. replied:" A lot, they are in a plastic bag. "

 For a 24 min session, to the question: "Where are you?" - the answer: "In your office." “What's around you?” - the answer is “Green screen.” "Is your body light or heavy?" - the answer: "It turned into a point." The doctor made a sign to the anesthetist, administer the last dose - 0.4 ml of ketamine and remove the syringe from the vein.

 In the final part of the session, the doctor instilled a feeling of vigor, strength, freshness of the head, clarity of mind, calmness.

 At 28 minutes from the start of the session, the doctor asked M. to open his eyes. During the session, 4.2 ml of a ketamine solution (42 mg) was added.

 Immediately after the session M. noted dizziness. Talking about her feelings, feelings and dreams during the session, she said that she was sitting in a room directly opposite her sister and for a long time about 30 minutes talking with her about something. What they talked with my sister - does not remember. Perhaps about a daughter and wine. She noted that for some reason I remember the dress from Lurex. When asked if her sister had such a dress, she replied that she had such a dress, but she does not know where it is now.

 The patient was asked to appear after 2 weeks for a control study.

 At the appearance after 2 weeks, M. said that she had found a Lurex dress in a shoe box that was at the bottom of the closet and she had not seen her before. At the bottom of the box, she found money.
