[Clinico-nosographic considerations on the relation of depression and alcoholism in a population of 450 hospitalized alcoholics].

The presence of depressive symptomatology in alcoholics has frequently been encountered in clinical practice, but the relationship running between the two pathologies remains a subject for discussion. The methodological difficulty of this evaluation is seen in a major discordance of reported data. Against this background, a group of subjects hospitalized in a neuropsychiatric environment has been assessed for incidence of alcoholic and depressive pathologies and their possible correlations. Of 428 hospitalizations for alcoholism, 350 (82%) presented a depressive pathology. These patients were distinguished by DSM III into three groups [a) adaptation disturbance with depressed mood; b) dysthymic disturbance; c) atypical depression]. Within these groups, the incidence of prior stress-inducing psychosocial events was assessed according to the criterion of growing seriousness of DSM III. The results after statistical processing are discussed and compared with reported data.

[The elderly and their existence model. A study with projective technics].

Elderly subjects free from psychiatric diseases and hospitalised at centres run in accordance with different models have been examined. The T.A.T. was carried out. Certain common elements emerge that would appear to be related to the senile age. Others appear to be psychological superstructures related to the different conditions of existence.
