Abstract
"Statements by a therapy patient acknowledging personal sexual behavior or desires were frequently accompanied during early hours of therapy with galvanic skin responses, but not during later hours, following a progressive decline. This finding is taken as evidence that the GSR is associated with such feelings as fear or embarrassment in the interpersonal relationship with the therapist and that such feelings extinguish during therapy.".Keywords
