摘要:

This study set out to describe the sexual attitudes and behaviour of 50 hospitalized alcoholic men by comparing them with a sample of the general population, matched in age and social class. This control sample was identified by random selection from a company register, and subjects were recruited into the study with the assistance of a trade union. All subjects completed the same assessment by semi‐structured interview and the Eysenck Inventory of Attitudes to Sex. A method of scoring this questionnaire was derived, and comparison between samples showed the alcoholics differed from the controls only in describing less sexual satisfaction and not in other sexual attitudes. This difference probably arose from their greater interest in sex, loss of erectile potency and lack of a sexual partne

摘要:

The study set out to examine theoretical and practical aspects of measuring sexual attitudes. Using the replies to a sexual attitude questionnaire developed byEysenckgiven by 135 males (50 alcoholics, 50 matched normals and 35 sex offenders), item and factor analysis led to the composition of nine short scales measuring sexual satisfaction, heterosexual nervousness, sexual curiosity, tension and hostility, pruriency, sexual repression, heterosexual distaste and sexual promiscuity. The reliability and validity of the scales are demonstrated and their relationships to each other and to other aspects of sexuality are described. It is pointed out how relevant the scales may be in assessing and monitoring treatment of sexual deviants and others with sex problems. Tentative norms are provided.

摘要:

An earlier study (Sølvberg&Blakar(1975)) testified to subtle differences in communication efficiencyoverdifferent communication situations by parental coupleswithandwithoutschizophrenic offspring. The present study is offered as a replication of this study, but whereas the participating couples in the original study were recruited from a big city (Oslo), the parental couples in the present replication come from a typical rural district. The main findings of the original study are reproduced, but the very same method which was sensitive with respect to>the “normality‐schizophrenia” variable, also proved to be highly sensitive with regard to the cultural variation represented by the rural‐urban dimension. There‐fore, the present study is used as basis for discussing more general methodological problems involved in communication‐oriented studies on psychopathology. In particular the underlying (often implicit) model of “normal communication”, from which pathological communicationdeviates, is seri

摘要:

Of 45 first admission schizophrenics from 1963, an incidence by first admission group for northern Alberta, 43 were followed‐up 14 years later. Based on these figures the expectancy was found to be 0.49 %. The proportion of patients who were married was less than expected in comparison with the general population, but amongst the married, fertility was probably comparable to the population's. At follow‐up about half the patients were managing well with little or no disability, one quarter had moderate to marked disability and the remainder were socially, psychiatrically and occupationally disabled. From the time of first admission, patients had spent an average of 15 % of their time in hospital and lost 28 % of the total time due to psychiatric disabil

摘要:

The coincidental occurrence of schizophrenia and rheumatoid arthritis is considered to be low in relation to the prevalence of the two diseases. In the present study, data from the patient statistics prepared by the Swedish Social Welfare Board were examined for the occurrence of rheumatic disease in schizophrenic patients. With the aid of the statistics and of questionnaires, 58 case‐records were collected and studied. Very few cases were found of co‐existing schizophrenia and inflammatory joint disease, rheumatoid arthritis in particular. There were, however, some cases of genuine schizophrenia and definite seropositive rheumatoid arthritis in the same patient. Rheumatoid arthritis is possibly uncommon also in combination with other psychiatric diseases that require hospital care. The ankylosingspondylitis cases were over‐represented in relation to the rheumatoid‐arthritis cases included in the statistics from psychiatric care. Most of the 13 ankylosingspondylitis patients whose case‐records were studied had schizo‐affective psychosis or atypical psychosis.The results of the investigation should be confirmed by epidemiological studies; this may contribute to the understanding of the aetiology of rheumatoid arthritis and of sc

摘要:

In order to approach the hitherto unknown brain involvement in the XYY syndrome five adult patients with this syndrome were studied clinically and pneumoencephalographically. Clinical manifestations included delayed difficulties of speech and learning, clumsiness, mild intention tremor, muscular hypotonia, convulsions, hyperactivity, distractibility, impulsiveness, weak mental control, psychosexual disturbances and a slight defect of intelligence. All five had committed crimes. Pneumoencephalograms showed general ventricular enlargement of mild or moderate degree. The enlargement of lateral ventricles was unilateral or asymmetrically bilateral. The suprapineal recess of the third ventricle was uniformly enlarged. Small cerebellum and enlarged fourth ventricle were the abnormal findings in the posterior fossa. No cortical abnormalities were found.The clinical and pneumoencephalographic findings suggest a slight non‐progressive developmental disorder of the brain resembling the so‐called minimal brain dysfunction syndrome. The XYY syndrome appears to be one cause of the male preponderance in minimal brain dysfunction syndrome and criminal psychopa
