摘要:

The AVER (averaged visual evoked responses) and the DP (a pattern of dispersion resulting from the variability of each time point locked to the stimulus onset: D = f [t]) were studied in neurotics in comparison with controls. In neurotics without depression and/or anxiety the AVERs were normal and the DPs showed a shortening of the second period; in neurotics with depression and/or anxiety the AVERs were also normal but the second period of the DPs disappeared.

摘要:

Within a psychiatric hospital it has been attempted to realize a maximum number of the elements of the therapeutic community. Problems here are the short median stays of patients and the rapid turnover of both patients and staff. What is more, a basic problem of the therapeutic community was encountered, namely that the interests of the individual patient and of the patients as a group are considered as identical. Thus there came about the development of the principle of separate responsibility, whereby a division of responsibility is made between the individual patient and the unit. Work is carried out by multidisciplinary and largely democratized teams.

摘要:

A case of transsexualism with homosexuality of Kinsey type 6 is described, in whose maternal kinship were found a large number of persons with various types of sexual abnormalities including one case of probable transsexualism. The pattern of intermarriage produces from generation to generation an increasing number of children with such abnormalities. The patient and a number of relatives also show epilepsy. That disorder seems to exist mainly in the paternal kinship, and the coexistence of transsexualism and epilepsy in the patient seems coincidental.

摘要:

The attempt is made to structure a rating scale intended to evaluate the motivational level of chronic impaired schizophrenics (defect-schizophrenia). The need for such a measuring tool is stressed, considering mainly the relatively poor symptomatology of these patients, the difficulties to discern changes in the patients’ condition and the fact that lack of motivation basically features the schizophrenic impairment. The scale strives to be as comprehensive as possible, extending from the lowest biological level to the highest social and cultural aspects of motivation.

摘要:

Empirical findings are reported concerning the relationship between psychoorganic deterioration in old age and the course and clinical symptoms (delusions, presenting symptoms) of the so-called late schizophrenias. The probands were reexamined in their senium decades after the onset of the illness. A significant relationship was found between severe psychoorganic deterioration occurring in old age and a chronic course of the psychoses, generally and particularly in the senium, and between severe psychoorganic deterioration and the occurrence of schizophrenic thought-disorder as the main symptom. Absent or slight psychoorganic deterioration in old age was found significantly co-related to manic-depressive dysthymia as the main symptom. Further development of delusions appears to be independent of the degree of psychoorganic deterioration in old age.

摘要:

The working hypothesis could be confirmed that a nuclear syndrome (Basis-syndrom) consisting of alterations in drive and mood as well as in autonomic activation, possibly contributing to neurotic disorders, is independent of such factors as sex, education, premorbid personality, duration of illness, age at onset of the illness, social mobility during the illness, number of pregnancies, family history, occupation, marital state, social class compared with that of parents, social contacts, or past physical illnesses. It was shown in a sample of 50 neurotic outpatients that the factor ‘past illnesses’ influenced the number of vegetative symptoms prior to therapy. The effect of psychotherapy on psychic and vegetative disturbances was greater in women with children, i.e., not in occupations. In patients whose social class was not changed during the illness, the number of vegetative symptoms diminished more than in the others. In all the other cases, improvement was not related to the factors mentioned. This can be interpreted as supporting the hypothesis.

摘要:

A pilot study on the time sense of ten depressed patients was performed before and during, as well as after, antidepressant therapy with tricyclic compounds. Short time spans were measured by two methods, giving them two different tasks. Measurements were performed in the morning as well as evening hours, in order to take into account diurnal variations. Accuracy of time estimation was considerably deviant. All except one patient overestimated time. With improvement, time sense also improved. Errors were still greater in the morning. The value of the results are discussed.
