[Neurotic inhibition].

Inhibition is a normal neuro-physiologic regulation phenomenon which antagonizes the dangerous aspects of excitation and which facilitates the adaptation of man to his surroundings. Inhibition becomes neurotic: -- when it fails in its normative-connection with excitation. -- when accompanied by anxiety, -- when the subject cannot control it, -- however without blocking all the psychic functions as the psychotic inhibition does. Accompanying symptoms diversify its ways of expression. Contemporary to trauma in neurasthenia, it proceeds from early trauma in psychasthenia and in hystero-phobic neuroses. For some authors, it may be innate, perhaps hereditary. It appears particularly severe, because it lasts when the symptomatology has disappeared during the analytic therapy and it seems to resist more than the excitation to chemotherapies.

[Results of psychological testing of patients with keratoconus].

Psychological testing of 63 normal subjects and 84 patients with keratocone was carried out separately for men and women aged 18-64 years using 11 scores of a brief multifactorial questionnaire for personality examination (BMQP). Comparison of averaged profiles of examined men and women with keratocone showed features of sensitive and psychasthenic personalities. According to BMQP scores, the population of men with keratocone is characterized by increased levels of psychasthenia and schizophrenia, whereas women develop depression, psychasthenia, and schizophrenia.

[Psychasthenia: history and evolution of the P. Janet concept].

Description of psychasthenia by P. Janet (1903) sets up at the end of a double reflection, with on the one hand a theorization of asthenia, the notion of which already occupied the medical concepts of the 18th and 19th centuries, and on the other hand a progressive attribution of neurosis to the psychiatric field. Its clinical characteristics (feelings of non-fulfillment in action and emotion, experiences of oddness and depersonalization, obsessions, phobias...) makes psychasthenia a fully-fledged illness, the psychopathological organization of which results from a decrease of psychological tension and from a loss of reality function. Since P. Janet, the term of psychasthenia has not ceased to be used, although its etiopathological references blurred behind the psychoanalytic work, and it is usually synonymous with obsessional neurosis, even with obsessional personality. Description of psychasthenia appears in these rubrics of the DSM III, even though the term itself is ignored.
