Tryon （1995a）介绍了连接神经网络及其对行为治疗师的重要性。本文表明，双向联想记忆连接神经网络模型满足Jones and Barlow（1990）对创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）理论解释的全部四项要求和Brewin， Dalgleish, and Joseph（1996）对创伤后应激障碍理论解释的全部五项要求。双向联想记忆模型为解释PTSD的临床症状群提供了理论基础，特别强调了创伤为什么会通过记忆重新经历；解释了症状严重程度的个体差异，包括为什么有些人没有患上PTSD；解释为什么PTSD患者与抑郁、广泛性焦虑和药物滥用共病；解释异常行为是如何从正常的记忆形成过程中产生的；并做出新颖的预测。1998爱思唯尔科学有限公司
An introduction to connectionistic neural networks and their importance fdr behavior therapists was provided by Tryon (1995a). This article shows that the bidirectional associative memory connectionistic neural networks model meets all four of Jones and Barlow's (1990) requirements and all five of Brewin, Dalgleish, and Joseph's (1996) requirements for a theoretical explanation of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The bidirectional associative memory model provides a theoretical basis for explaining the clinical symptom constellation of PTSD, with special emphasis on why trauma is re-experienced through memory; accounts for individual variation in symptom severity, including why some people do not develop PTSD; explains why persons with PTSD are comorbid with depression, generalized anxiety, and substance abuse; explains how abnormal behavior derives from normal memory formation processes; and makes novel predictions.
