[Apropos of a paranoid filiation delirium: the "intelligence" complex of dementia and psychiatry with associated absence of critical "control"].

Based on a clinical observation of a paranoid filiation delirium, the authors raise the fundamental question of the nature of psychotic structure itself. They suggest an interpretation of the structure of the psychosis as an attempt to rationalize and give shape to an inarticulate discourse. This work as a whole should be looked upon in the perspective of a new approach to the psychiatric occurrence through what might be called a relativist epistemology.

[Psychosomatic reflections].

This paper resumes the philosophical analysis of the relationship between body and soul. Cartesian dualism is criticized according to the recent developments of the theory of information. The problem of causalities and somato-psychic or psycho-somatic interactions is also criticized. The conclusion aims at a multidisciplinary approach to the patient.

[Clinical and electroencephalographic study of a new antidepressive agent, mono-methyl-amino-propyl-dibenzo-bicyclo-octadine hydrochloride (Ciba 34, 276 Ba)].

A clinical trial on fifty patients studied a new compound with a quadricyclic structure, Ciba 34.276-Ba or Maprotiline in any category of depression. The product was found to have notable antidepressive properties, capable to act on the melancholic depressions of the manic depressive psychosis and of involutive melancholia. The best results were noted in the neurotic and reactive depressions perhaps because a tranquilizing activity marked in the majority of the cases. The clinical tolerance was found good and the side effects which reminded of those caused by derivates of Imipramine, remained moderate while the biological tolerance was perfect. The modifications of the electroencephalogram were of two types, one of them suggesting thymoanaleptic activity, the other suggesting rather a sedative activity.
