The opportunity I have of speaking to you is for me both a pleasure and a privilege, but it is also, I fully appreciate, a responsibility.The field of psychiatry to-day is not unfruitful and not a few discoveries of lasting worth appear to have been made, while certainly claims to progress of more doubtful value, both as regards letiology and even more with regard to treatment, are so numerous as to be rather bewildering, particularly when they become the subject of articles in the popular press, whereby relatives are enabled to make a diagnosis and decide on a line of treatment without any reference to the medical man.

Violet Radiation

The subject of artificial heliotherapy is at present attracting much attention in both scientific and lay worlds. The Board of Control report for 1925 states that there were only five installations in mental hospitals at that time, but doubtless there are more now. I venture therefore to place before you some notes on ultra-violet therapy in the hope that they may be of interest to those thinking of taking up this line of work; and that by their criticisms and observations I may learn from those who have already done so.

End Results

Since the treatment of juveniles as in-patients in a special unit is somewhat unusual in mental hospital practice, a brief introduction may not be out of place. These units might be considered as another development in a trend which has been progressing for the past 25 years. Until 1930 certification of all admissions to mental hospitals and a mainly custodial régime ensured the majority of patients being largely the end-results of psychiatric illness. Since 1930 the steadily increasing use of the voluntary system has brought many patients to hospital at a stage when their illness can be favourably influenced by modern therapeutic methods. An associated development was the increased provision of wards or units separate from the chronically disturbed cases, or even, as at this hospital, a complete villa system of detached and semi-detached wards for mainly voluntary adult patients.

Way Of Thinking

By the dawn of the twentieth century, a new way of thinking about the nature of the child, classroom methods, and the purposes of the school increasingly dominated educational discourse. Something loosely called progressive education, especially its more child-centered aspects, became part of a larger revolt against the formalism of the schools and an assault on tradition. Our finest scholars, such as Lawrence A. Cremin, in his magisterial study of progressivism forty years ago, have tried to explain the origins and meaning of this movement. One should be humbled by their achievements and by the magnitude of the subject. Variously defined, progressivism continues to find its champions and critics, the latter occasionally blaming it for low economic productivity, immorality among the young, and the decline of academic standards. In the popular press, John Dewey's name is often invoked as the evil genius behind the movement, even though he criticized sugar-coated education and letting children do as they please. While scholars doubt whether any unified, coherent movement called progressivism ever existed, its offspring, progressive education, apparently did exist, wreaking havoc on the schools.

Opening Up

In the “Nederlandsche Tÿdschrift voor Geneeskunde” for February, 1888, there is to be found an article under the above heading (“A Contribution to the Study of the Treatment of Epilepsy”) which is worthy of some consideration, for it discusses a subject which has received but scant notice at the hands of medical men, viz., the influence of electricity on the epileptic state. The success achieved by Dr. Niermeÿer in the treatment of the cases he cites would be a sufficient inducement for attempting by the method he advocates, if not the permanent cure, at least the amelioration of the condition of such patients in private and hospital practice, and before the consequent psychical change had introduced a new element in to the affection; but it would also be opening up a new field of study if a careful trial could be given, and the results published, of the effect of Niermeÿer's process on a series of favourable epileptic cases resident in asylums, the affection in such being independent of organic brain lesion. The practical importance of the subject justifies a quotation of Niermeÿer's contribution in extenso:—

The subject matter of this research is the Juridical Review of the Crime of Threats in the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (Case Study of the Koto Baru District Court). This issue is divided into two sub-discussions, first, how is the application of material crimes against criminal acts of threats in the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions, second, how are judges' legal considerations in imposing crimes against threats of threats in the Law on Electronic Information and transactions. The method used in this research is to use a normative juridical problem approach. about the problem that is the object of the problem.The results showed that efforts to apply sanctions were made to overcome the perpetrators of extortion and threats, namely: firmly enforcing the existing positive laws. For subjective positive law enforcement, it may be necessary to have instruments or law enforcers who have the instinct of justice, namely "Judges" who decide all existing cases. The research implication is: it is hoped that the inculcation of social values ​​and norms in society in using social media and in UUITE is not trapped in behavior that plunges them into criminal acts / crimes, it is also hoped that the Panel of Judges in deciding cases must consider more The facts of the trial, the elements of the offense, and the consideration of the severity of the crime with reference to the defendant's situation and the victim's loss.

This book explores the contradictions between the mission of hospital care and the market for it. It shows how market forces and market actors have become increasingly important to contemporary hospital practice, and yet the commodification of hospital care in the United States remains uneven and incomplete. While they compete in a competitive marketplace, many hospitals—and the people within them—work to sustain social values that sit in uneasy tension with this market. In order to understand these contradictions, the book examines not only the broad sets of rules and regulations through which the market for hospital care is structured, but also the meanings, practices, and people that make up the hospital itself. The focus is on three hospitals located in Las Lomas, California—PubliCare Hospital, HolyCare Hospital, and GroupCare Hospital—and their ongoing struggle with the contradictory nature of the commodification of hospital care.

Value Concept

The subject of this paper is to present the results of the study detailing the essence of the value concept ‘honor’ within the framework of English, German and Russian language cultures as a reflection of the basic values of society in the today’s linguistic world. The methods of the research were theoretical analysis of the works of philologists and pedagogues on the structure and essence of the value concept ‘honor’ as a synergetic unity of the two notions. The component analysis of dictionary definitions and their subsequent step-by-step identification is given. A review of various treatments of ‘honor’ is suggested, ranging from ‘respect’, ‘reputation’, ‘faith’, ‘mark of approval’, ‘creditable’ to ‘dishonor’, ‘discredit’, ‘shame’, ‘ill repute’ and so on. An attempt is made to characterize ‘honor’ as one of the axiological concepts and a socially and culturally conditional pattern of approval/disapproval.

During the last nine months of 1931 a series of 175 cases were tested for syphilis by means of several reactions, and the results were reported in this journal in January, 1932. During the next nine months the work was continued and considerably extended, and we shall here give the further results thus obtained, together with a statistical expression of the findings of both periods combined.

Few human remains from the distant past have achieved the public visibility and notoriety of Kennewick Man (the Ancient One). Since his discovery in July 1996 in the state of Washington, he has appeared on one of America's best-known television news programmes,60 Minutes. He has been on the cover ofTimemagazine and in the pages ofPeople,NewsweekandThe New York Times.He has been the subject of popular press books (Downey 2000; Thomas 2000; Chatters 2001), and for many years running there were almost annual updates on his whereabouts and status inScience(some 30 in the decade following his discovery). That is saying nothing of the scholarly notice and debate he has drawn (e.g. Swedlund & Anderson 1999; Owsley & Jantz 2001; Steele & Powell 2002; Watkins 2004; Burkeet al. 2008), including a recently issued tome marking the culmination of almost a decade of study (Owsley & Jantz 2014a).

I am presenting to you in this paper my own views and experience in a practical psychotherapeutic approach to psychotics. I am aware—acutely aware—that I am speaking, with only two or three years' experience behind me, to distinguished psychiatrists. I cannot bring myself to apologize for having definite views on so short an experience; they are views that struck me before I had been employed in a mental hospital for a week, and I have had no occasion to change them since. I am not even sufficiently well up in the subject to know if they are peculiar to me.
