Planned statistical analysis included a number of inner-group comparisons based on data achieved with the use of chosen psychological tests and neuropsychological clinical trials. Results: Therapeutic effects were noticed both with reference to chosen spheres of cognitive functioning which initially differentiated the control and research groups as well as the ones which did not differentiate these two groups.
