[Indications and prerequisites for psychotherapy].

A list of psychoreactive and neurotic disorders is given, which are often seen in general practice and which are suitable for psychotherapy. These disorders are shortly discussed. Subsequently, a survey of the most important psychotherapeutic methods is given and conditions for a positive outcome are described. Finally, the authors suggest further information on this subject for general practitioners, among others in Balint groups.

A monoclonal antibody may show cross-reactivities in Ouchterlony assays but not in other assays.

A monoclonal antibody to human IgG was tested with myeloma proteins of the four IgG subclasses. When tested by immunofluorometric assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition assays, the antibody reacted with IgG3 but not with the other three IgG subclasses. When tested by Ouchterlony assays in the presence of polyethylene glycol, the antibody formed lines with all four IgG proteins. The line with IgG3 was sharp and stable, but the lines with the other three IgG subclasses tended to blur with time and with the lower PEG concentrations. These findings show that Ouchterlony assays can reveal cross-reactions of a monoclonal antibody that can be missed by more sensitive assays.

[The dependence of psychiatric diagnosis on the function of the diagnostician in relation to his patient (author's transl)].

At the admittance of patients to a psychiatric clinic, the diagnostic judgement of physicians with different functions was investigated. There was a great variability of statements on the severity, the consequences of the disease, and the social behaviour of the patients, dependent on the functions of the respective physicians who always tended to observe and judge first of all those sides of the disease that concerned their special fields of responsibility.

A rapid gas-chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of clomethiazole in human serum.

A rapid method without elaborate instrumentation for the determination of clomethiazole serum concentrations is described. This method is suitable for a routine clinical laboratory, and the results, from 37 patients investigated by this method which are presented, are comparable to results described by other authors. A relationship between dose ingested and serum concentration can be established. The determination of clomethiazole serum concentrations is useful as an adjunct to overall clinical assessment, and helpful in establishing a suitable dosage regimen of clomethiazole for the individual patient; it can also be used to verify suspected clomethiazole abuse or overdose.

[Phenomenology and psychodynamics of patients with so-called "hard" and "soft" methods of suicide. A comparison].

88 patients with "soft" and "hard" methods of suicide attempts are compared and described. The results show several differences between both groups of patients: (1) In the choice of a "soft" method painlessness played a superior role. Patients who had chosen a "hard" method were far less sensitive to pain, or the experience of pain had extensively faded. (2) Men with "hard" methods seemed to be more needy than men with "soft" methods. (3) Men and women of the "hard" group (preponderantly wrist cutters) showed a stronger and earlier beginning of conflict denial than patients of the "soft" group. Therefore, immediate crisis intervention seems to be especially indicated. (4) Attention should be drawn to the countertransfferance reactions of helpers in contact with patients who had employed different methods of suicide attempts.

[Phenomenology and psychodynamics of suicide patients in the awakening phase].

In the following paper is given a first survey of the phenomenology and psychosomatics of the period of awakening of patients having attempted suicide. The findings of the first period were compared to those elicited one or two days later with the same methods but under different somato-psychic circumsatnces. We found that soon after awakening patients gain some distance from events connected with their suicide. From this observation it is concluded that therapeutic intervention with these patients should begin right during the awakening period.
