Abstract

Homeopathy, using the tenet of "like cures like," is one of the most popular of the complementary medicines. In conventional medicine, however, little is known about this modality. This article describes the field of homeopathy and its principles and philosophy. It also summarizes the current state of evidence and offers an outlook on future research options.

[Acute and transient psychotic disorders (ICD-10: F23). Empirical data and implications for therapy].

The defining clinical features of acute and transient psychotic disorders (ICD-10: F23) are an acute onset and a duration of psychotic symptoms not exceeding 1-3 months. Previous empirical investigations show that patients with this diagnosis have a favourable prognosis, but also a high risk of relapses (58-77%). The diagnostic stability in the further course of illness seems to be low (34-73%) with a frequent diagnostic change to schizophrenia and affective disorders being observed. As yet, data from controlled clinical trials regarding therapy do not exist. The implications for the treatment of acute and transient psychotic disorders are discussed with this background.
