Individual psychotherapy and schizophrenia.

Conceptual issues in approaching the role of psychotherapy in the treatment of schizophrenic patients are discussed in the context of trainee supervision. Eight important variables which require consideration in conducting and evaluating the psychotherapy of these patients are elucidated. It is suggested that psychotherapy variables are conceptually distinct from those which belong to the frame of reference of the disease model or syndrome diagnosis, and thus demand separate attention.

The state concept and inpatient psychotherapy.

A state model for categorizing psychopathology within psychotic disorders is used to describe change during the course of treatment in a single case. A preliminary assessment of the reliability of this model suggests that with further refinement it may be usefully applied to both ward behavior and psychotherapy material. The psychotherapeutic and research implications of the model are also discussed.

Assessment of depression by questionnaire compared to DSM-III diagnosis.

The LPD, a self-report questionnaire which provides a quantitative and qualitative measure of depression, was examined in relation to a criterion-based system of diagnosis, the DSM-III. Results from 190 psychiatric inpatients suggest that the LPD distinguishes depressive from non-depressive syndromes in terms of severity of depression and that patients with melancholic major depression are more severely depressed than those with non-melancholic major depression. Furthermore, major depression with melancholia and major depression without melancholia, both conform to the LPD profile of endogenous depression whereas other depressive syndromes do not. A comparison of the two systems of categorizing depression also suggests that the LPD is a relatively sensitive predictor of the diagnosis of major depressive disorder.
