On schizophrenic psychoses.

The author traces the history of the concept of schizophrenic psychoses from Kraepelin's differentiation of dementia praecox from other mental illness and Bleuler's formulation of schizophrenia through the delimitation of the definition of schizophrenia to current thought on the etiology, treatment, and outcome of schizophrenic psychoses. He stresses the importance of our knowledge of both psychological and hereditary factors and urges that rather than searching only for a single, causal metabolic error we also accept the possibility that schizophrenia occurs in highly human, spiritual spheres and consider the schizophrenogenic influences in the lives and personalities of individual patients.

Comparison of a new antidepressive, lofepramine, with imipramine in a double-blind multicentre trial.

Lofepramine, an imipramine derivative, shows lower acute toxicity in animals when compared with desipramine and imipramine. Its anticholinergic effect is less pronounced than that of desipramine. In an open clinical trial lofepramine showed a marked antidepressive action. A double-blind multicenter trial of lofepramine v. imipramine, evaluated by means of the AMP system, showed a remarkable degree of concurrence with regards to the effects of those two products.
