Reality orientation for brain injured patients: group treatment and monitoring of recovery.

A reality orientation group for brain injured patients was developed to improve attention deficits, confusion and anterograde amnesia during post-traumatic amnesia (PTA). Seven behavioral objectives are used to define adequate orientation, attention, immediate retention, episodic recall and use of memory aids. Daily performance in each of these areas is aggregated to establish a weekly summary score. Inter-rater reliability was found to be 0.875. The weekly aggregate score assesses recovery during PTA with increases corresponding to qualitative changes in patient progress. This weekly score has proven valuable as a management tool in rehabilitation by indicating when advanced training is warranted, whether a plateau in progress has been reached and when deterioration may be occurring.

Resistance in convergent and in divergent conflicts.

Psychoanalytic theory has limited the term conflict to refer only to convergent conflict, whose elements tend to move toward each other, as in repression. Formulations made from the viewpoint of the method of free association have led the author to favor an expansion in the concept of conflict to include also divergent conflict, whose elements tend to move apart, as in regression-progression and in mourning. A broad range of clinical and theoretical phenomena of psychoanalysis can be accounted for by such a revision in the concept of conflict. Focusing on resistance, this paper provides a historical review and discusses the application of an expanded concept of conflict in the field of psychoanalytic technique.

[Study of the effect of reality orientation on a group of psychogeriatric patients].

In 22 mildly deteriorated elderly patients the total score on a reality orientation questionnaire improved after 3 months ROT. This increased knowledge on basic facts was ascertained in both groups: patients who attended the ROT-class and patients who participated in the ROT-discussion-group. It became clear though that the effect of the ROT was limited to those items of the questionnaire that had been offered to the patients. The knowledge of items which had not been offered in the ROT remained unchanged. ROT had no generalized effect on the verbal orientation. It only had a specific effect on trained items of information.

Chance, ambiguity, and psychological mindedness.

The inability to believe in chance occurrences and an intolerance of ambiguity in the external world are often the outward manifestations of poor psychological mindedness. Such attitudes are frequently accompanied by beliefs in the occult and the mystical. It is suggested that these factors be considered when an individual is being evaluated for analytic treatment.
