[Against abuse of methodology in psychiatry].

The author argues with methodological requirements of scientific research in psychiatry especially as far as the estimation of the value of new psychotropic drugs is concerned. Periodical withdrawal of the drugs and double blind placebo controlled challenge in endogenous depression and psychosis as well as in pediatric psychiatry and psychogeriatry are considered to be inadmissible. The author warns against the possibility of judicial claim in case of fatal complications in psychiatric patients. The abuse of methodology has been named "methodologization of psychiatry" as compared to the discredited term "politicalization of psychiatry".

[Psychiatry at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries].

The author makes an attempt at considering the most important achievements in psychiatry which have taken place in the global scale during the passing century, and the direction taken up by the development of global psychiatry in the coming century. The 20th century was characterised not only by the impressive development of science, thanks to which completely new possibilities opened up for global psychiatry, but also by the presence of extreme events that took place as a result of false ideologies such as fascism and communism. In the 20th century concepts like homicide, holocaust, the extermination of the mentally ill, experiments on people that are prohibited by the ethics of medicine and the elementary rules of humanity, etc. The paper includes the achievements of diagnosis and therapy of psychiatric disorders and the latest organisational solutions as well as the perspectives for further development of psychiatry. The author also implies the aims that psychiatry has to take up due to the numerous threats from our civilization: the technical-technological development, pollution of the natural environment, the negative changes in human values, the rising brutality in interhuman relations due to racial, national and religious conflicts and terrorism, the disappearing feeling of being safe in society, vision of hunger and poverty in many countries on a few continents, the danger of an epidemic outbreak of new unknown diseases caused by viral mutations, or genetics--the possible negative effects of genetic engineering (cloning of humans), etc. The author tries to define the role of psychiatry in preventing the threats of civilization.

Psychopathology of posttraumatic epilepsy in the light of personal clinical observation.

The authors present the result of psychopathological analysis of a group of 91 patients who suffered from epileptic seizures of definitely or probably established posttraumatic etiology. Mental disturbances in these patients were differentiated into sporadic psychopathological phenomena and chronic psychiatric syndromes. Sporadic episodes, which the authors identify with "psychical seizures", concerned 58 patients. They were manifested by psychomotor or psychosensory seizures, dismnesia and disthymia. Chronic psycho-organic syndromes were diagnosed in 85 patients. They were: dementive, characteropathic, dementive-characteropathic, oligophrenic and temporal lobe syndrome (according to Landolt). Psychopathological picture of posstraumatic epilepsy does not appear to be specific for the etiological factor. The relatively high number of patients with partial seizures of mixed symptomatology may indicate that head traumas frequently damage the limbic structures of the brain. Confirmed is the observation of other authors that there is a correlation between the temporal localization of epileptic focus and character disturbances.
