termination-the stopping of the physiological functions of the body; interruption-the stopping of consciousness with the expectation of further conscious experiences; and continuation-experiencing no interruption, but a stream of temporally contiguous conscious events - Discussions: - Avery D Weisman (U S A ) - Shneidman shows that the inner attitude of suicidal patients cannot be reduced to a single formula He urges us to think again about our conventional notions of life and death - Karl Menninger (U S A ) - Freud's concept of the death-instinct helps us understand how it can be that some people kill themselves quickly and some slowly and some not at all There are three components to suicide: it is a murder, it is a murder by the self, and it isa death in which the murderer and murdered are combined - Koji Sato (Japan) - Even Zen masters have their individuality, and their ways of leaving this world are different from one another Master Gempo Yamamoto's way of passing is specially interesting in Shneidman's classification Usually ripe fruits fall down unintentionally, but this fruit fell down intentionally, being ripe enough - Robert E Litman (U S A ) - Shneidman applies psychodynamic concepts to the classification of deaths The result is a new scientific view of self-destruction avoiding the sociolegal connotations of suicide - Reply: Edwin S Shneidman (U S A ) - The comments that have been made about my essay are insightful and generous My interests have moved from a specific concern with suicide, to a broader interest in death, and currently to a deep interest in and concern with what I consider to be a still wider topic, namely, inimical patterns of living - A Soviet View of Group Therapy IS V Ivanov (U S S R ) - The influence of the group upon the personality is highly manifest in a socialist society The goals of Soviet group therapy are of adding depth to the clinical objectives and of returning the patient to his primary activity in society as a member of a production team - Discussions: - Jerome Frank (U S A ) - Although the goal of treatment in America is usually couched in such terms as enabling the patient to become better able to fulfill himself, it may be closer to Soviet group therapy than Ivanov realizes - S H Foulkes (England) - Only group analysis is completely opposite of the Soviet point of view Western culture throws a much greater burden on the individual Conflicts are increased, internalized, and dynamically unconscious Correspondingly, however, we develop more trust in the individual and we do not feel that his awareness of conflicts in his culture is in any way threatening - Herbert O LeVine (U S A ) - Ivanov emphasizes empiric retraining, neglects etiology, dismisses the unconscious, and mutilates and deforms the meaning of dynamic theory Despite his manifest position, however, there seem to be areas of latent agreement - J L Moreno (U S A ) - This excellent article suffers from two major fallacies: that science differs in bourgeois and Communist countries, and that group therapy in the United States is based largely on psychoanalytic theory - The Theory of Positive Disintegration Kazimierz Dabrowski (Poland) - When personality disintegration (distress and anxiety) is followed by secondary integration at a higher level, it can be regarded as positive Such positive disintegration is found in periods of developmental crisis, - during severe external stress and sometimes even in psychoses - Discussions: - Jason Aronson (U S A ) - The strength of this theory is in the emphasis on "psycho-pathology" in normal personality development The weakness - is in the loose definition of its concepts - O Hobart Mowrer (U S A ) - This is a point of view which is destined to receive increasing attention and acceptance We shall vainly continue to seek "psychological integration" (or so-called "mental health") until we recognize the central importance of personal integrity - A Mental Health Center in an Underdeveloped Country - K E Schmidt (Sarawak) - (continued from Vol 1, No 2) - Reply to the Discussants: - K E Schmidt (Sarawak) - The translation has distorted sentences considerably No single psychiatrist for a large area is able to do extensive research in his spare time I see my task as providing sound data and detailed ethnopsychiatric studies - Reply to the reply: - Nathan S Kline (U S A ) - In my remarks I predicted that as a result of the review it was unlikely that I would ever be invited to Sarawak Not only was I invited to Sarawak but I accepted, and now I am cooperating in an exciting research project comparing psychiatric disorders in the three quite different major cultures to be found there - Recent Books.

Why does it vary so much among mammalian species? Why is it so closely correlated with sexual life in rabbits? -- Tomas Weiss (Czechoslovakia) -- \ There is almost complete lack of knowledge concerning the function of the rhombencephalic sleep phase Hartmann is wrong in regarding the question of function as not a very useful one The term "D--state" lacks definite content and meaning Any new term should be based on some new knowledge of the mechanism of the phenomenon -- Masaji Matsuzaki (Japan) -- There have been several reports that electrical stimulation of the brain induces the D--state Physostigmine and butyrate show an antagonistic effect on each other in the forebrain, but both produce the D--state in the lower brain stem -- Charles Fisher (U S A ) -- These revolutionary discoveries On the nature of sleep and dreaming have important implications for psychoanalytic theory The most difficult theoretical problem has been that of linking the concept of instinctual drive to this discovery of a major biological cycle involving possible alternating phases of energy build--up and energy discharge This is at the very heart of the mystery of the mental apparatus and basic motivational forces -- William Dement (U S A ) -- There is certainly no need for such a bewildering variety of terms for this state Hartmann is most uncritical in his consideration of the two "dream deprivation" experiments he cites and does not give adequate attention to the fact that there is so much more of the D--state in the newborn organism Never before in the history of biological research has so much been known about something from a descriptive point of view, with so little known at the same time about its function -- Reply: Ernest L Hartmann (U S A ) -- The multiplicity of names bears witness to the fact that there is something here worth naming Indeed, most of the names are useful, practical designations which refer to some aspect of this "state " In the term D--state: "state" emphasizes the differences from ordinary sleep as well as from waking, and "D" emphasizes the concomitant psychological state (dreaming) which in our opinion is worth keeping in mind -- The Antidepressant Drugs Anthony Hordern (England) -- This article reviews the epidemiology of depressive states, outlines the development of the antidepressant drugs, discusses problems of their evaluation, and suggests a treatment program for depressed patients Reactive depressions in young people do not require antidepressant therapy Phenelzine is useful in atypical depression with hysterical and phobic features Severe depressions require hospitalization where treatment with ECT or iminodibenzyl derivatives is usually required -- Discussions: -- Lothar B Kalinowsky (U S A ) -- Since seemingly well--planned studies show amazing differences in conclusions, my preferences are based on clinical experience rather than on statistical data ECT is the treatment of choice in severe depressions, in suicidal patients, and often because of the practical necessity of avoiding long hospitalization -- William E Bunney, Jr (U S A ) -- There are two critical areas that require comment: the complacency which develops following the successful treatment of the acute phase of what is often a chronic and malignant disease; and the data on the mechanism of action of the antidepressants which may contribute to our understanding of etiology and put treatment on a more rational basis -- Gerald L Klerman (U S A ) -- This paper has many limitations The material chosen is highly selective, the presentation is unjustifiably preferential, and conclusions based on personal opinion are not distinguished from those which have been established by investigation -- Epidemiology of Mental Retardation Ernest M Gruenherg (U S A ) This article reviews the literature on the epidemiology of mental retardation and provides a general orientation to the field Epidemiologic data can often throw light on questions which the investigator did not originally have in mind Two new approaches hold promise: the development of mental disorder registers and the national health survey -- Discussions: -- L S Penrose (England) -- The measurement of the incidence of mental retardation appears to be simple, but is in practice an extremely complicated affair Competent observers in similar communities have reported percentages ranging from 05 to 30 Such differing opinions can be attributed to inconsistencies in the aims and methods of investigators -- N Schipkowensky (Bulgaria) -- This is a wise and profound survey that unfortunately omits not only the work of the Socialist countries, but also research / u.a.

His argument is founded on faulty logic and self-contradiction -- Frank Fish (England) -- Bleuler's assumption that there is a similarity between normal and schizophrenic experience is questionable, nor can I agree with Bleuler's concept that schizophrenia is a faulty development of personality -- Hans Hoff (Austria) -- It is true that the genesis of schizophrenia is multifactorial, as Bleuler describes it However, among the various states that are called "schizophrenic," there is a nuclear group which has a distinct inborn error of metabolism -- The Study of Folk Psychiatry Ari Kiev (U S A ) -- In many cultures, native practitioners are treating emotionally disturbed persons with as high a rate of success as our more sophisticated techniques In all cultures, customs set up the conditions under which the patient accepts without fear the authority and power of the healer -- Discussions: -- Michael Maccoby (Mexico) -- It would be a mistake to equate these primitive therapies with -- psychoanalysis, where the patient's conflicts are made conscious and he is expected to suffer the anxiety in making a decision and -- standing by it -- Jules H Masserman (U S A ) -- Psychiatrists have difficulty in accepting the fact that the world does not revolve around the individual Much is determined by circumstances and customs the individual alone does not control All of us are trained within our society with its local mores, and if we depart radically from them either in what we do or "advise," we would be impeached -- Community Psychiatry: The Newest Therapeutic Bandwagon -- H Warren Dunham (U S A ) -- There are many diverse and inconsistent concepts of community psychiatry They range from the idea of bringing psychiatric treatment to the poor, to educating nearly everyone in the principles of mental hygiene Community psychiatry, in its focus on noncritical cases, is likely to further remove the psychiatrist from bona fide cases of mental illness Discussions: Serge Lebovici (France) -- Community psychiatry aims at assuring continuity of care, in the framework of reasonable planning Awareness of the importance of ecological factors does not force one to neglect endopsychic -- conflicts -- Leonard J Duhl (U S A ) -- It is a rather outmoded question to ask whether the psychiatrist steps out of his appropriate role when he concerns himself with the whole community system Community psychiatry is a logical development of psychiatric theory and practice -- J A C de Kock van Leeuwen (Netherlands) -- It is incorrect to conclude, from its unsolved problems, that community psychiatry is dangerous; and the analogy that, as psychiatrists do not know what they do with patients, they certainly will not know what they do when they treat the community, is unjustified -- John R Seeley (U S A ) -- Everyone is entitled to see danger where others see hope But, since the expression of either is a strategy to change outcome, weighty warnings should receive careful examination -- Eric Trist (England) -- There is an enduring place in community psychiatry for two general positions, those of enlightened as distinct from unenlightened conservatism, and of pensive as distinct from ill-considered radicalism -- Louis Miller (Israel) -- Dunham contends that the psychiatrist should not "treat" larger groups in the community Although there is no need for the psychiatrist to be directly involved in community organization, he must be concerned with the social causes of dysfunction and understand the technique of mobilizing community services -- Reply: H Warren Dunham (U S A ) -- I deplore with Dr de Kock van Leeuwen that my views should be taken as a "halt" signal on the promotion of mental health Duhl merely restates, with a somewhat tired metaphor, an organic view of society Lebovici visualizes a more circumscribed role for community psychiatry than most others Seeley's accusation . // u.a.m. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
