摘要:

A review is presented of all psychiatric surveys conducted thus far in Israel. A brief description of these five epidemiological studies is followed by an analysis which focuses on the objectives of the studies, their respective methodology and data sources. The results obtained in these studies are discussed according to several parameters, i. e., the range of prevalence rates found, the differential distribution of rates among social groups and the relationship found between psychopathology and several variables such as age, country of origin, social class and area of residence. Suggestions for further epidemiological research are included.

摘要:

On the hypothesis that drug addiction may be due to “masked depression”, lithium was administered to 20 opiate addicts. Only nine patients took the lithium carbonate tablets for more than a few weeks; during this period they seemed to abstain from taking opiates. After 1 year, all the patients were off lithium and most of them again took opiates. Due to lack of cooperation on the part of the patients, the observations can neither confirm nor refute our hypothesis. The study shows that psychological and socio‐environmental factors make trials on drug treatment of opiate addicts almost impossible to carr

摘要:

The finding that married persons are more likely to be hospitalized schizophrenics is reviewed. Three interpretations of the finding are discussed: causation, selection, and differential utilization. A strategy to separate the three hypotheses is presented which uses data on rates of admission and duration of hospitalization and which concentrates on the widowed category. Data from the Maryland Psychiatric Case Register are used to test the hypotheses. Evidence of selection and differential utilization is found, but none in favor of the causation hypothesis. It is shown that selection operates less powerfully in rural areas.

摘要:

After a mean test‐retest interval of 16.6 years a sample of 72 initially acute/subacute as well as chronic schizophrenic patients showed a significant normalisation of performance with respect to associative commonality, idiosyncratic responses, and response latency. The findings are attributed chiefly to effects of psychotropic drugs and improved psychiatric treatmen

摘要:

From a sample of 1,005 patients admitted to the Psychiatric Hospital in Aarhus for the first time during the period 1950–1959 and diagnosed as suffering from manic‐depressive psychosis or endogenous depression (affective psychoses), a subsample of 104 manic‐depressive patients with anancastic symptoms in the history was selected. The 104 probands were individually matched with 104 non‐anancastic probands with affective psychoses. The study was designed as a follow‐up study, and the patients who were still living were seen personally. In the search for factors which could be used to distinguish affective psychoses with anancastic symptoms from affective psychoses without these traits, the incidence of a number of psychopathological features was evaluated based on the case histories and the information given by the patients at the follow‐up. There was no difference as far as atypical, schizophrenia‐like symptoms were concerned between the anancastic probands and the controls. Manic and hypomanic features were more frequent among the controls, corresponding to a greater number of bipolar psychoses among them. At the same time, the controls showed a significant preponderance of decidedly psychotic symptoms such as disturbances of consciousness, delusions and delusion‐like ideas and hallucinations. Furthermore, retardation was more frequent among the controls. There was no difference in the suicidal behaviour of the two groups. Symptoms which were more often met among the anancastic depressives were: anxiety, agitation, diurnal variation of mood and early awakening. Seasonal variation in symptomatology was also more frequent among the anancastic probands. The same held true for depersonalization. The anancastic probands showed a significant preponderance of anancastic premorbid personality features. A positive correlation was found between the number of anancastic personality features and the following symptoms: agitation, anxiety, diurnal fluctuation, seasonal variation, hypochondriacal attitude and depersonalization. On the other hand, objective retardation or flight of ideas showed a significant negative correlation.The pattern of the anancastic symptoms was rather uniform; aggressive obsessions, mostly in the form of suicidal and homicidal obsessions, were present in more than two thirds of the cases. The anancastic depressions were often less severe than non‐anancastic depressions in that the latter were more often complicated by decidedly psychotic symptoms.It is possible to interpret the symptomatology of anancastic depressions as a pathoplastic influence of the anancastic personality, but it cannot be excluded that some of the symptoms like anxiety and agitation are linked to the presence of anancastic
