Family Trees

Case notes of all patients admitted from two adjacent catchment areas with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or psychosis were examined for information concerning the patient's family. On average, case notes contained only 9–25% of the basic information looked for. Family trees were rarely drawn. A record was made of contact with families of only half the sample. It is suggested that information concerning families is not considered of major importance in the management of such cases.

Predominant Orientation

SummaryIn a survey of training in child psychiatry in Great Britain, all senior registrars were sent questionnaires; the response rate was 69 per cent. We describe background factors of the trainees, details of the clinical and academic experience available to them, and their attitudes towards their training.Most trainees had had extensive previous experience in adult psychiatry and the predominant orientation was psychoanalytic. In general, they approved of the guidelines for training issued by the Joint Committee for Higher Psychiatric Training. Family therapy was the most popular treatment method. We comment on their training experience where the interest expressed was not matched by adequate availability of the training facilities.

Theoretical Developments

The place of family therapy in adult clinical psychiatry remains unclear, despite considerable theoretical developments in the subject. In order to delineate the potential role of a family therapeutic approach, a study was conducted of the first 50 families treated in a newly established family-therapy clinic located in an adult psychiatric hospital.

Biological Differences

Objectives: Schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia are common presentations to psychiatry services. Research to date has focussed on hypothesised biological differences between these two disorders. Little is known about possible variations in admission patterns. Our study compared demographic and clinical features of patients admitted voluntarily and involuntarily with diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia to three psychiatry admission units in Ireland. Methods: We studied all admissions to three acute psychiatry units in Ireland for periods between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2018. We recorded demographic and clinical variables for all admissions. Voluntary and involuntary admissions of patients with schizoaffective disorder were compared to those with schizophrenia. Results: We studied 5581 admissions to the study units for varying periods between January 2008 and December 2018, covering a total of 1 976 154 person-years across the 3 catchment areas. The 3 study areas had 218.8, 145.5 and 411.2 admissions per 100 000 person-years, respectively. Of the 5581 admissions over the study periods, schizoaffective disorder accounted for 5% (n = 260) and schizophrenia for 17% (n = 949). Admissions with schizoaffective disorder were significantly more likely to be female and older, and less likely to have involuntary admission status, compared to those with schizophrenia. As first admissions were not distinguished from re-admissions in this dataset, these findings merit further study. Conclusions: Admissions with a schizoaffective disorder differ significantly from those with schizophrenia, being, in particular, less likely to be involuntary admissions. This suggests that psychotic symptoms might be a stronger driver of involuntary psychiatry admission than affective symptoms.

In comparison to many other fields of ultrastructural research in Cell Biology, the successful exploration of genes and gene activity with the electron microscope in higher organisms is a late conquest. Nucleic acid molecules of Prokaryotes could be successfully visualized already since the early sixties, thanks to the Kleinschmidt spreading technique - and much basic information was obtained concerning the shape, length, molecular weight of viral, mitochondrial and chloroplast nucleic acid. Later, additonal methods revealed denaturation profiles, distinction between single and double strandedness and the use of heteroduplexes-led to gene mapping of relatively simple systems carried out in close connection with other methods of molecular genetics.

The Incredible Years

Bei der Behandlung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit aggressivem Verhalten ist in den vergangenen Jahren vor allem im englischsprachigen Ausland ein Trend zum Einsatz evidenzbasierter psychotherapeutischer Interventionen zu verzeichnen. In diesem Beitrag werden–getrennt für Kindes- und Jugendalter–die am besten evaluierten Therapieprogramme (u. a. Multisystemic Therapy, Functional Family Therapy, The Incredible Years) für diese Indikation dargestellt. Es werden aktuelle Fragen der Implementation und Disseminierung evidenzbasierter Interventionen für aggressive Kinder und Jugendliche diskutiert (z. B. Qualitätssicherung, Therapietreue). Abschließend werden Perspektiven für eine Implementation evidenzbasierter Interventionen in Deutschland aufgezeigt.
